I have been to the porsche experience day yesterday at silverstone,my mate has a new 911 turbo.He got 2 free invites,cracking day,got to hammer two brand new 911 carreras round there purpose built track.One 4wd with pdk gearbox the other 2wd with manual
There is a smaller low traction circuit in the middle of the track that you could try your look mat drifting.If anybody gets the chance for any reason go for it.It was a class day.Still prefer my chimaera though.Those german cars just have no soul.

We all say that because we can't afford pork

The chim gives max bang for our old £.

Given mucho wonga the story would be different, (I'd still have a Sag in my huge garage though!).

Porsches are great, I love my TVR but I am a petrol head and respect everything they have done to continue to develop the 911.

Err, dunno. My mate had 'em all, carrerra 4s and the like and couldn't see what the fuss was about, bor-phuckin'-ring. Then I drove his new turbo, phuck, that impressed me. But at £100k? For that amount I can think of better to have, come to think of it I couldn't ever see me buying a Porsche whatever. ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz.

We had a 1984 911 Carerra 3.2. Much, much closer a driving experience to the Chim than new pork. No PAS, no traction control, just a big fat ol' J'Lo arse with the engine hanging out over the axle. Loads and loads of feel and feedback. Great car. If t'other half had got another job sooner we probably would have kept it.

Have come close to buying newer pork a couple of times, didn't do it.

Still got the Chim though

Yup, no more this side of Christmas!

Charity trackday at Castle Combe on Saturday, that will finish off the triple 8's, only another £850.00 for another set , what's that dear, we need a new fridge, surely we can keep the food in the garage in this cold weather.

In that case you're not trying hard enough.

I totally agree on the Porsches' lack of soul, but I find front-engined TVRs more intuitive to drive quickly.
