I great text from a friend

[sy247]

A friend of mine doesn't really know much about Porsche and texted me the other night tell me that someone he knows has just bought a Porsche 918 Spyder and he saw it being delivered the other day so took a photo for me. He thought it looked really nice and asked me 'if I rate it'

[Flat6time]

I call BS. seeing as it hasn't been released yet.

Has your friend got confusimicated?

[ChipsAndCheese]

My guess is he has got the Boxster Spyder confused with the 918.

[sy247]

Yeah I just looked at the picture he sent me and I think it is a Boxster! The disapointment...

[markiii]

think how dissapointed his mate who ordered it is going to be :-)

I think the text my brother got from a friend confirming that he would pay for the 100K + car he had just specced wins the best text from a friend competition.

The mystery is solved, he just sent me some better pictures. This is the car that the guy has:

The 911 Turbo Spyder edition "is available only to customers awaiting delivery of the stunning £672,000 918 Spyder Hybrid" apparently, so presume your friend may see delivery of the real thing sometime soon?

Is it only me that is aghast at the thought of someone, who doesn't know much about Porsches, apparently shelling out the thick end of £800 large on 2 ?

[sy247]

I do not personally know the guy who has bought the limited edition turbo S and is awaiting delivery of the 918 spyder. He is an acquaintance of a friend of mine and apparently has a very nice collection of other cars and is looking to add the 918 as an investment.

My friend doesn't know much about Porsches and got his wires crossed when told me he had seen the a 918 Spyder being delivered. I should think the chap who is buying knows what he is getting! Lucky guy.

Not someone - everyone who has bought the Spyder apparently

Quote from Auto Express - " Every single 918 Spyder customer has also plumped for the £125,000 Turbo S: a trinket to accompany the ultimate prize."
