A bloke in my local tonight said that Steve Wright (Radio 2) had stated as a 'factoid' that 60 percent of the Porsches ever built are still on the road. Does anyone know if this is true, where is it stated? Pretty impressive if it is true, especially with the number of them getting bent/stolen around here at the moment.

Oop's I seem to have started another 'how much is my car worth' thread again.

But at 60 percent it is a very impressive record, a credit to the marque quality really.

My pub conversation was sparked off by talking about an accident locally, where a Boxter hit a van. The car driver quite badly hurt, van pulled out without looking onto main road. But the interesting thing is that the locals immediatley assumed the porsche driver caused the accident. I wonder if that would have been the case if he he had been in a Vectra or the like? (he would probably have died). They thought the 60 percent figure even more amazing considering that they consider Porsche drivers as dangerous, myself excluded of course.

Just a thought.......
