How did you get here?

[CaineIsCarter]

I'm sorry I'm posting such a lot, but I took this week off to drive my new car, and it hasn't happened so far because the excellent local B-roads are still in a real state because of the snow. So I'm looking for another outlet

I am genuinely interested to learn which cars you owned on the journey to your first Porsche. Don't worry about all the subsequent ones. To kick off, here's my list:

Fiat 127
Polo
Fiesta
Astra
Astra GTE
Nova GTE
Escort XR3i
Sierra estate (lowest point)
Citroen AXGT (fab)
Peugeout 309 GTd (I think)
Sierra Sapphire
Beetle 1500
Polo
Punto
Polo
Rover Mini Cooper
BMW Mini Cooper
MX-5 R-Ltd
MX-5 B-Ltd
Nissan 350z
Porsche Cayman

Love to read your list.

Obviously, I don’t have an extensive list of cars behind me, but I’m only 20 and so have only been driving for 3.5 years. I haven’t had enough time yet to build up a nice portfolio

Hoping my next step is a 718 GTS.

Hey man, you're doing really well! By the time I was your age, I was still on the Astras

I’m a female, but thanks Just saw the pictures of your new car on your other thread - what a stunning motor. The sapphire blue looks great! Also, you’re lucky they made your handover special with the cover and the little sign etc. When I collected my 718C, the car was left outside in the customer car park in the rain!

I apologise unreservedly; it says everything about me (and the world) that it never even occurred to me that you were anything other than male.

Thanks for your very kind comments, and your dealer should be ashamed, frankly.

How was your GT86? Always really liked the look of them.

Nova GSi
BMW 318is
Audi A4 1.8
BMW 328i
Porsche 964 (which I still have)
BMW 540i
Audi S8
BMW X5 4.6is
Porsche 997
BMW M5 (E39)
BMW X5 3.0d
Range Rover Sport TDV8
Range Rover Vogue TDV8

Think it’s safe to say I have a soft spot for BMW’s and Range Rover’s

What’s next ? M4 will be up for sale soon and will be replaced by another 911, just need to try a few to figure out which one ...

That's a pretty nice repertoire...

I really appreciate all the replies, but I just wanted to respectfully point out that I was asking how you arrived at your FIRST Porsche..

Last year a mate asked me how many cars I have owned over the years. He started writing them down.
It was 60 something not including motorcycles, vans and lorries.
15 Porsches, only two of them water cooled

I am not worthy

Love your passion for it.

Just realised I left out of my list the BMW 318 Compact that came in between the last Polo and the Mini Cooper. Felt very grown up when I got that car.
