A porsche for real men.

With handlebar moustaches and a fondness for pickled cabbage.

Didn't look very porchey to me...
merc logo is visible in a few shots.

I think she was being ironic...

It's a proper Porsche.

Not like those crappy Boxsters.

jaguar · 07-19-2004, 07:53 AM

Boxsters are for people that can't afford porsches.

evansk7 · 07-19-2004, 07:58 AM

Nah, you're thinking of the Lotus Elise or the low-end TVR range. They're sporty and cheap - ideal for the "911-but-can't-afford-it" crowd.

Boxsters are for people who want a Porsche badge on their keys but don't care about looks, handling or performance.

Catwoman · 07-19-2004, 08:05 AM

Doh!

I wasn't being ironic.
Very tempted to say I was though.

Look I've had 3 hours sleep all weekend all right? Happens to the best of us.

Doh again!

My client walked in just as I was writing this. I may as well give today up, complete and utter waste of time.

All modern Porsches are rubbish apart from the GT2. Love some of the older ones though, although whether what I am thinking of were Porsches at all is now contestable.

Sighs at disastrous attempt to prove some women know something about cars

An elise has a look and a style that is fairly unique, it's also about the same price as a boxster. A boxster on the other hand has poor styling and as you say, poor handling and peformance to boot. You'll at least get a nice whirl out of the Elise.

Stuffem both and gimme an Aston Martin or a Maserati anyday. Once you've driven a Maserati you can't go back.

Ye gods, I expect to see that next to the dictionary definition of 'ugly as sin'.

Catwoman · 07-19-2004, 09:17 AM

Who said Maserati? I want one. Now. Beautiful boisterous beasts.

evansk7 · 07-19-2004, 09:31 AM

Get a US-spec BMW M3.

And then get anything at all made in Europe to European spec, and it'll feel wonderful.

Look at it! Clashing colours (what is WITH the white windshielf edge?), gaudy silver bits hanging off..It looks the aborted fetus of a perfectly fine sedan and a 50s racecar.

Taste is things like this.
Saw the Bugatti at the Gevena car show, most beautiful car I'v ever seen.
