My son upset his mate the other week (whose Dad's got a Boxster) when he showed him a motoring website (Parker's or AutoTrader or something like that) that listed TVRs in it's 'Supercar' section, and the Boxster in it's 'Sports Car' section !

Why would this bother you?

By and large Porsches *are* better than TVRs, it isnt exactly the most shocking statement in the world.

As for poor man's supercar...Yep, and arent they an absolute steal?? You need your ego massaged by price? Christ, the less you pay the better!

Quite right! a simple well rounded argument and that should be the end of it......and besides, Boxters are for girls aren't they?
