Angels cry, virgins sacrifice their first borns and mothers cry over war torn sons. Meanwhile, I shed a tear for over an emotional experience with an unforgettable car. LP560 I salute you.
0LP560 to Spa and the Nurburgring
The LP560 is more than a competent track tool, despite wrapping you in a world of leather and air con. Although not its main strength, it’s still a strong proposition. However, put it in context and it suddenly becomes a simply brilliant all rounder that has you smiling at every use.
0Date with the devil – LP560 bought
I walk into a Lamborghini dealership on a whim and walk out £120K lighter. But oh god what an exchange.
0Buy me – I will make you happy! (RS for sale)
Biting the bullet and I’ll regret it NO DOUBT, but the car wants a new home. My GT3RS is for sale.
0Boredom and the car enthusiast – a dangerous combination
Stay out of trouble and trouble won’t find you. Of course, that mantra is not part of my vocabulary, instead I look at ways of blowing an additional £30k.
0Why the GT3 rocks my wor……oh shut up, please.
I ponder the options and alternatives of a world without the sanctimonious delirium of Porsche GT3RS ownership. I am pleasantly greeted by a number of choices.
0So THAT’S why people buy the turbo cab…!
I never really understood the 911 Turbo in either of its forms. After 10 days with the car, it takes one particularly spectacular day to gain that insight that has entitled it the worlds most useable supercar. 200MPH scalp massage anyone?
0911 Turbo Cab – Average speed, 700MPH
I ponder the likelihood of Porsche having installed the improbability drive as we end up launching a 911 Turbo into next week. (read: yeah, it’s fast).
0The perfect holiday?
We take two GTR’s and two GT3RS’s across Europe to visit both the Nurburgring and Spa. All in the name of research, of course.
1Something for the weekend? Z4 sDrive30i
I hire a Z4 for the weekend and the inevitable Boxster comparisons come up.
0What’s up dawg?
By way of a semi apology, I try to justify my absence with a digest of the past three weeks.
0GT3 RS Gen 2 Driven
At last I’m given free reign with a GT3 RS gen 2 on the race track. I’m desperate to love it, I’m looking for a major reason to buy one – looks alone could define that decision. Are the sum of it’s parts greater than the whole?
0Oulton Park, wavey landscapes and tyres, tyres, tyres…..
A disappointing day at Oulton Park, ends on a high note after an easy, albeit expensive, modification to a key component.
0Q7 due to go soon – what next?
As the Q7 lives out its twilight years with us, I ponder its replacement – a harder decision than any Porsche I may buy.
0Test drive lined up at Silverstone for RS.2
I’m invited to drive the GT3RS.2 this Monday. As somebody who is currently in denial, will this brief encounter spark my interest again, or enforce the notion that a 997 RS.1 is good enough?
