I'm happy to use my Oyster card for the day or two that it's in

The C2S was busy so I had a new Cayenne V6. Try as I did to hate it I actually quite liked it

[supermono]

I got a bloody Cayenne (not S, not Turbo) when the tt was being serviced. At least it wasn't the boxster they offered to start with though!

Is this really the typical cr*p that 911 owners come up with? "Oh sorry, I would rather sit on my ar*e drinking sh**e coffee talking to car salesmen than dare to be seen in a fifty grand car. I mean imagine the shame if someone saw you!" I mean come on.

Before you get totally bent out of shape Andrew and run out of *** the problem was with the auto box and has nothing what so ever to do with how much the car cost. Actually the coffee is good
do you have a problem with 911 drivers then??

Not bent out of shape, promise, and no problem with 911 drivers at all - a lot of them however think it's the only worthwhile model in the range and refuse to see past it. See your point about the auto box - bet you'd have take a new "tip" turbo for a spin though if they'd offered!!

[steve.B]

Yes for shore but in the back of my mind I would always be thinking how would this car be with a clutch and six gears. IMO a sports car is a manual. I realise there are plenty of tiptronic owners out there who would disagree as a great number of the 997 turbo's tend to be tips.we are all different!

Ah God's country - I believe he also drives a 911!!!!!! Good driving roads - not as much traffic as down your way that's for sure. Wait till Porsche put the DSG twin clutch style box in their cars I promise you'll change your mind. F1, rally and touring car teams can't be wrong. I've used one, albeit in a DSG TT, but if it was in something with more power then it would be amazing ............... and it's a manual!!!!!!!

Didn't we used to have two fora -- "911" and "Other Porsches" to avoid chip on their shoulder boxster (sorry 986/s) owners from taking exception to 911 owners who commit the cardinal sin of preferring 911s?

If you actually read the comment properly you would have understood that wasn't my stance. I just found it a little odd that they wouldn't be seen dead in any other Porsche whilst there's was being serviced for a matter of a few hours. Don't worry about it mate, I think you've got the wrong end of the stick. No chip on the shoulder - life's too short pal.

You know what, you're dead right. Cheers mate!

Porsche East London showed me where the station was

Think I must have looked a bit dodgy, as they never even offered me a temp car

[JonnyDangerous]

Reading OPC gave me a nicely spec'd Carrera 4 for a couple of days when I was having some warranty work done.

[markomah]

The OPC in Dublin gave me a diesel golf when my last car was in for 2 days ....















And then tried to charge me for 2 days car hire because they "don't do" courtesy cars any more.

Cue major hissy fit on my part and I won't be troubling them with my business any further...

ive got a diesal estaste today

[paultje]

When Porsche launched the 997TT, I 'leant' them my 993TT for the display. They gave me the use of a Cayman ( man.)for the weekend....it was good fun, great to drive, but a bit 'plasticky' on the inside.
