Tis the time of year when i normally scan the classifieds looking/dreaming of some new metal. This time last year i started looking into 997 ownership. I got one 9 months later (took longer than expected due to not knowing which model to go for smile )

So... is everyone happy and content with their current flavour of Porsche, or are we looking to swap into something else in the New Year?

You're quite correct in that this time of year does seem to have an effect on our desire to upgrade the current set of wheels. I, however, can say with complete confidence that having gone through this exercise this time last year when I purchased my Cayman S, I am quite content to keep the contents of my wallet intact as I am more than happy with my purchase thus far.

Well after having been a bit of a girl's blouse about it, I have finally just (today) paid the deposit on the black 8k mile G50 930 Targa that we discussed on here a while back biggrin

Pooey - 9 months?
Seems like it took fkin years, mate smile


I would like to think I'll be in a different Porsche but alas, getting Mrs Z a new car seems to be a more pressing issue.

I'd like to be driving a 6tt if someone has a nice one for £30k? Having to keep asking for a lift everywhere is horrible! grumpy

Congrats to those who have decided/bought their next wheels. Not surprised to see the GT3 getting a few nods smile - i may go the other way... would be handy to have a couple of rear seats. Looking forward to seeing some deals on the new GTS? Might even consider a 997 turbo PDK once they simmer a bit in price, although i do like the NA engines though scratchchin


Damn that beer does funny things to my head. Must... stop... thinking... sensible wobble

Long time lurker but had to share, this is what I will be driving:




Pick it up next week cloud9 My first pork, and I know it should have the engine in the rear but current circumstances do not yet permit.

Regards and Happy New Year to all

Answering the OP about what I'll be driving in 2011, I reckon my X50 & I will be driving Silverstone, Cadwell, Oulton, Croft, Donnington & a few others, as well as the pilgrimage to Le Sarthe and hopefully a sojourn to Tuscany. Here's to all that 2011 has to offer. beer

I'm sticking with the 3.2 SSE. Looking forward to many road miles and driving it in anger on the circuit. Would be nice to add to the trophy collection as long as they are glass. Kerry buries all the silver type away in cupboards, she's not into polishing them but quite happy to drink from them.
