I'll look forward to your response.

Its a fair bit more focused than the GTS.

Well I'm blaming you for this - bloody hell !

Great spec car. Spoken to a few people as to why it hasn't sold.

All down to the colour, apparantly.

Thanks - I think I love the colour - works well with the black accents - also like the fact the GT4 logo is coloured black in the scoops and the wheel centres are yellow on black - did it for me anyway - only popped into the OPC to drop one of the cars off for a service !!

Those are the best purchases - went out to buy a birthday card and came back with a Porsche

Congratulations, it looks very nice indeed

Thanks - I was kidding really, It wasn't quite like that - I saw it when I took a car in for service a about 4 weeks ago when it was up at £k95 and I have to say it really looked very special - it's been done really well with the details I mentioned B4 and also it's fully wrapped - interestingly enough they have another yellow one without black wheels and the extra trim and it didn't do anything for me what so ever - strange but true - the devils in the detail - also very happy with the colour - I know yellow isn't everyone's cup of tea - but it's a proper motorsport colour and Porsche must have liked it or it wouldn't have been the launch colour ; The previous owner did a great job on it. I then forgot about it until it kept coming up on this thread (Phooey's - £k89 I can't believe it's not sold genuinely didn't help !) I had to go in again last week for an MOT and saw it again - got in contact with the ex owner who'd posted on here who was really helpful (no incentive as car had already been bought off him by OPC - history was immaculate, understood the numbers - original cost , etc) and the deal was done

Easily pleased springs to mind Richard .....
Porsche no doubt went to great lengths to engineer the GT4 into the car it is, when in essence twenty minutes with two pots of paint and fine paintbrush and the end result would've seemingly had more market appeal.

God you're shallow

And as for that image of some floozy caving the bonnet of your 205 in, I'm utterly speechless (for a change)

PS I did get your email at the weekend, I'm just drafting a suitably long, onerous response

[Taffy66]

As much as i hate to admit it i was the first to point out this yellow gem in my post back on July 11th when it was £92k.At the price you paid including the £2k ppf was an absolute steal and hardly any premium over the original new price.

Nice one R.......no offence!.....and I like yellow too but I think you need to be the 'right' side of 40 (like you , (I am the wrong side btw) to keep a straight face driving a yellow car.

Welcome to the GT4 club (although I thought you were a Spyderman through and through). Both epic cars in their own way and I am sure you will love the GT4.

Be interesting to hear your thoughts on how they compare.

Henry , lovely to hear from you - as ever your post really made me smile - yep what do those idiots at Evo know - that ECOTY car they tested didn't have the after market decals or the GT4 logo - ergo that ones crap - you are quite right , I am a shallow, shallow , little man !

Now that young lady was not an ex girlfriend as others have eluded to but a good friend - and I have to admit I hope she never sees the post - I tried to edit her out but I would have had to cut the car in half - in truth all I can think about when I look at it now is ; st , get off my bloody car , you're going to damage the paintwork with your exposed zips - oh how age has changed me

Oh, st , I didn't realise the yellow under 40 rule ; bloody hell !!! Does anyone want to buy a silly yellow car (with nice little decals) av , you are now my favourite PH'r : I love the fact for think I'm under 40 - thankyou so much

Edited to add - just re read your post - you don't think I'm under 40 - thanks a lot !!!

Re comp - I am a spiderman through and through and in truth really should have swapped it - somehow I ended up with both as the Spyder and I are bonded together for life !

Don't want to comment until I've done some proper mile's in the GT4 - will then let you know what I think

Stands shuffling his feet whilst awkwardly looking at the floor .... You do realise that pulling the car in and out of the garage to polish/admire it doesn't constitute "proper miles" don't you Rich ???

It may well be, but whether that's any use to me on the road is what I'm curious to find out. The CGTS is so composed and refined, yet handles impeccably, I'm expecting the GT4 to be a track biased compromise too far. But we'll see.

Of course it f*u*cing does - what else are you supposed to do with them - seriously Henry sometimes you come across as a complete bafoon !

I have to say it looks quite rakish with the new bonnet line - Have you ever thought of becoming a graphic designer - it's quality work that

Well I'm starting to see why my maintenance bills are always so extortionate now, there's clearly driving and driving
Graphic designer ? I tried it, it didn't end well .....

Anyway, this is the final rendition, properly sorted now (no one need be any the wiser Rich)




Anyway if we carry on with this, the thread Nazis will be fuming at YOU for having derailed this thread in such an epic manner, best leave it there and take it "off board" methinks...

the gt4 is an excellent road car and how a Porsche sports car should be! It is also composed and refined with the only difference you will notice on road is the noise from the cup tyres which can be fixed by fitting PS4s.Personally I do not find it to track biased it's just a great all rounder the way Porsche use to make them before the market wanted a saloon type ride from their sports cars!
