Lovely looking car - always wanted a yellow one, but none were around when I bought mine at the time (played it safe with standard silver). Similar situation to you - bought my 2.7 at 20, upgraded to a 3.4 S at 22. It's expensive getting the Porsche bug at our age!
Glass rear window is a well worth doing upgrade - though not as good as putting a sports exhaust on it!
Enjoy

I work for Tesco, if you are a student and a night manager with a retailer, you really earned that car!

But when do you sleep?

I guess we won't see you out on any PH runs until you complete your course wink

Anyway in no particular order... good luck, well done, and welcome!

Cheers everyone. I am now 20 but i sure do wish i could have a 3.4 s at 22. Although a 996 turbo may sway me around that price range!

I work a 32 hours week on top of my uni course so i do find time a little hard to find to drive the car. Everytime i do get the chance to though i really enjoy it. I wanted to attend the porscheworld magazine picnic at Windsor at the weekend but had family commitments. Oh and no this is all my own achievement. Dad just got me into Porsches and this motivated me enough to save for one and live the dream!

Spoiler was only up for the pics. I do keep it down...honest!

Oh and yep im also on boxa.net and was on corsa-c.

Thanks for all the comments biggrin

Yeh just make sure you enjoy it and don't feel you have to justify why you have it. That's been the only downside to having a car like this.

Assuming it's a decent course ie not 1 lecture a fortnight, then bloody hell, you work for it.

Good on you mate. We all have different priorities and mine at your age were similar to you... plenty of 'how can you afford to buy and run that' etc.

My response... 'how can you afford to buy all that alcohol 7 nights a week?'

I'm impressed, something to show for your efforts other than a hangover.

Keep it up.

Feck off, seriously.

OP you should be proud. Ignore the 'haters' and the jealous types. Well done on becoming night manager too, I worked at ASDA many moons ago and know it isn't easy.
