One of these passed me as I left Silverstone last Sunday heading towards the M40.

I caught him up (took a while biggrin).
First time I had seen one on the road - it's bloody huge!

Made my MINI (210bhp) JCW look like an Austin 7 Mini.

Too big. Don't like big cars.

Wot a load of bks, sorry. I can't afford one of these - love to have a go in one. As well as the rest of the Porsche range. A service like this provides that opportunity. It's pricey but for us mere mortals it's not completely out of reach.

My thoughts exactly. The order book is not full, is it.

Good luck taking hire cars to the 'ring. You'll get an extra special VISA reaming when you take the car back.

In the same way the wheels on Tescos trolleys lock up as you push it out of the car park, hire cars in germany should do the same when you drive into the 'Ring!

I've lost count of all the times I've read this sort of observation, most recently with the Nissan GTR. I can safely say it has never....ever... been true.
+1. Had a look around one in a showroom in Berkeley Sq the other day. ~What a moose of a car. Ever bigger and uglier and bloated than I had been led to believe by the praising Stevie Wonder wannabes around here.
