Ok, it’s that time of year again when my feet start to itch and i look at spending a crap load of money that i don’t have.
It’s the porsche phase. I have seen the 993 turbo4 in the flesh recently and, well..i want one. 400bhp with 400Ib/ft torque. I am also interested in a 996 carrera.
Have talked to a number of people and had a fantastic response from Scoobynet on my thread about the 993 turbo4.
Loads of positive feedback (thanks all). Should i do this though? I suppose i am after a bit more quality. Lets turn the mak into a female. I would class it as a clubber. She has a fantastic body, high levels of fitness, dances all night long and has amazing stamina. But would you introduce her to your parents? Cue 993 turbo4. Sexy, sophisticated, years and years of experience and a perfect accompaniment to the ballet. I need a test drive really, but if last nights drive in my mak was anything to go by, then i certainly dont need more power.
Yours,
Confused little boy
EDIT –
Managed to grab a test drive for a 70k 993 Turbo 4 today at Park Lane Porsche. Stunning to look at from the outside, but way below expectations inside. Ghastly dated ergonomics really put me off. A very intimidating car to drive with strangely offset pedals. But oh my, was it fast. 120mph arrives star-trek style and the power is relentless, real ‘push-you-into-your-seat’ stuff. But you know what? I enjoyed immensly getting back into my car. It felt instantly more accessible and really let me be-friend it, unlike the 993.
Maybe I need a few days with it. Any offers?
