What with 996TT being such good value, and all...
Discussion
I had to join the club. Last weekend picked up a turbo (manly) cab (hairdresser) tip (alright, ghey).
It's a lot of car and a lot of fun. If I track it, it will be once a year. The top comes down a lot more than that, and I like softtops, so a cab sort of makes sense to me. And I live in London, so the tip is quite useful for edging along in the very slow moving queue of traffic that is London.
A cab tip was also quite important to get the car in through the door: these were MrsG66's cast-in-stone conditions for acquisition.
If ever I find I'm at 10/10s, and the guy ahead of me in the manual TT coupe is pulling away, I might regret having got a cab tip. I might also be in the hedges by then, so car choice will be down my list of things to worry about...

You didn't try hard enough. I started from that point and managed to convince uktrailmrs that all she needed was a sunroof and manual shift is really very easy in these modern cars

I thought about the sunroof argument. But Mrs G66 has roughly two years' experience of driving a manual, after she passed her test, from over 15 years ago.
I wasn't prepared to let her re-learn her skills in a (=my) turbo.
If I ever get around to including MrsMogulBoz in the decsion making process on such a car I will make sure that the engine is running when she first tries the clutch as they are assisted on the Turbo and not knowing this could be enough to put some people off before they've lit the fire!
