Judging from the wares that Porsche GB seem fit to flog their cabriolet customers, 'quite camp' would seem to be the answer.

Whatever happened to Irving sheepskin jackets, flying helmets, blah blah blah... the good old days...

A harsh generalisation but eminently fair.

I have witnessed some inexcusable people mincing across Stratstone's immaculately polished floors on more than a few shocking occasions.

The blokes tend to be in their mid 30s-40s, groomed to perfection, turned out in black designer wear from Mr.Toupee's Bugger Me Softly Bistro, sporting the most risible overcooked tans the Med could feasibly serve up over a rushed weekend's golf in Marbella - alas, with all the conviction of Quentin Crisp yelling "C'mon, mutherf@cker!" at Big Jed McDeliverance & The Incest Twins on WWF's Hercules Killzone Qualifiers.

(By the way, I don't watch WWF, I just made that last bit up. )

I know a 964 owning, RMA track day attending old boy who'd definitely want those to go with his immaculate silver Sparco race suit. I'd have said it was de rigeur for the over 50 Boxster owning fraternity too....

I was never a fan of the 911 Cab, thought it spoilt the lines... not 'pure'

Till I had one..

then i fell in love.

Looks aweful with the hardtop on, like a bald bloke..

but looks v.sexy roof up.. or down..

and the looks and dribbles it attracted when the work of art roof was in motion.

Only thing Imho it needed, was the new model < 30mph roof action, single touch roof action, and an Aerokit.

my next pkr will either be a 993 Ts or a 996CabTT if business allows.

handling was great, not quite as tight, but nothing to worry any but the 'Stigs' of us.

Camp .. No..

fun... Sure

I'll let you off that bit of pink in your logo Colin, as you promised me it was 'Rubystone Red' not 'Pouting Pink'
