Finally got round to getting the RS family together for a photo. Thanks to Dan who's a total car and photography enthusiast.

Very nice. If you could only have one which would it be?

Fantastic.

The Signal car was at JZM when I collected mine last year, absolutely stunning.

Thanks for the comments guys, being a luddite, I can't quote and respond to more than one at at time!

But, which is best? I prefer the 3.8 because of the extra grunt, colour and presence it has over a 7.1, and because it has PSM (yes I know I'm a girl, but there are times when it increases your confidence in the car even if it's not needed). Other than those things, the 7.1 is not that different. The 6 still has a lot of similarities, but is also more different to the 7s. It is quieter, not as quick, has quicker steering, no driver aids and feels smaller.

Re do I have other cars, yes, other Porsches and other marques - thankfully I'm not a total Porschephile.

So which one do you think will hit £220k 1st?

Wow, there's a question. I genuinely don't know which has the best investment potential.

The 6 is obviously the first RS, and the last of the "no electronic intervention" cars so should be a good bet, but has remained relatively docile so far. Being blue gives it an even better chance I think.

The 7.1 generally shouldn't be as good as a 7.2 or a 6, but being green it may well be.

The 7.2 has to be a good bet as the last manual and Metzger car (4.0 aside which is already a great investment), and being PTS should also help.

Who knows?? Maybe we need some stochastic modelling.

In the meantime, I'll just enjoy driving and polishing them .

The religion of money - low mileage ( 964 was 12k) = high value.

Ah I see. I also have a 964RS with under 10k miles on it....
