    Mate of mine picked up this a couple of weeks ago. I’ve already placed my name at the top of the buyers list when he sells it in four-years time!

    The great thing about Porsche cars is they are proper supercars yet are pretty practical. And the build quality is second to none 

    This - 100%

    I've got a 911 and it's capable of 0-60 in under 3 secs, top speed of 194 mph and handles like you won't believe. Yet it also works as an everyday driver (I don't drive it everyday though - 10 months old now and has not much more than 2k on the clock!). The rear seats are only suitable for very small children but act as a great parcel shelf and the front boot is also useful - so easily capable of a road trip with two weeks worth of luggage. And around town it drives like a sensible saloon. As others have said, the build quality is exemplary as was/is the service I get from Porsche Chester.

    I couldn't give a toss what other people might think of a near 70 year old driving around in a sports car - it just makes me feel good when I drive it. I worked hard all my life and it was my retirement present to myself. I intend to keep it for as long as I'm capable of actually getting into it and when I do sell it the retained value is remarkable.
    That genuinely got me 

    You are a good bloke Bob, and a Porsche is a worthy and correct retirement treat 

    Agree but just hope this isn’t him!!
