On Friday night I went down to visit my folks in Devon.

Left London after work and had a boring drive down to Southampton, where I picked up my g/f and had a coffee and rest for a few hours whilst waiting for the traffic to ease off.

The remainder of the 3 hour journey across fantastically dry, fast, empty, twisty roads was utterly superb! It was one of those drives were you really gel with the car - and realise why the £780 for Halogen lights was a good idea!

I would say it was a real Porsche moment, but that would sound awful. But it was! hehe

Fantastic car - really, really great! thumbup

Sorry just had to share that with you all

PS. Did you know that there's a little light next to the rear view mirror that gently lights up the cockpit area? Never seen that before! Guess you just don't notice it when driving around other cars / around street lamps. Nice!

More the Xenon's I guess.

Well, that's what makes buying a Porsche a sensible invesment despite the cost...

PS. Did you know that there's a little light next to the rear view mirror that gently lights up your cock area? Never seen that before! Guess you just don't notice it when driving around other cars / around street lamps. Nice!

yes If its anything like the 996 then there will also be little LEDs in the interior door handles to aid 'orientation'.
