I sold Pepe last week - I was about to put it to get the AC and brakes fixed when I was offered exactly what I paid for it two and a half years ago. Couldn't say no really.

I've got a Cayman R for a one hour solo test drive via Porsche Dubai tomorrow morning.

After watching the Chris Harris review on Evo you could say I'm a tad excited.
