What I did on my holidays.

If you want a supercar for everyday use, buy a Porsche.

Suirel thats a conrtadiction in terms?

What is truly pants is your inability to drive your newsreader. I'm not surprised you found driving a Ferrari ungratifying.

No, why? I have two friends whose only cars are Porsches.

Then by definition it isn't a supercar...

Interesting, and completely fallacious, assertion.

Indeed.

It's easy to tell if it's a supercar.

Q. Does it have a Porsche badge?

If it does then it's not. HTH.

Interesting piece of bigotry. Too each their own, I suppose.

Not at all. Supoercars are by definition almost useless on teh road, and are only suitable for posing in, and going very fast round roundabouts at 3 a.m.

A porsche is simply a sports car, not a supercar.

Well I have driven porsches. And they are allright I suppose.

If I want real grip and handling, I'd go for a ferrari or a lotus. If I want accleration, well my jag ain't bad, in quiet way, but the best roadcar yet was a 5.8 liter equipped 1948 ford popular. Blow any porsche off the raod, that would. Not mine I hasten to add. A tad vulgar for my tsate.

Like porsches really :-)

I had a 924 once, the one with the large sloping wrap-round rear window with the rear-wiper motor bolted to the glass. Took it to a Jet car-wash one day. The bang as the washing roller brush caught in the wiper scared the c*** out of me. It tore the wiper unit right off the glass which vanished into a gazillion tiny chunks. Instant convertible :-) and yes, I was inside at the time.

Much to my surprise Jet coughed up for the repair with only a modicum of fuss. Cost them £1K and that was in 1988. Sold it soon after for £2.5K.

A used 928 (pre 1987) is quite reasonable to aquire.

I've had my 1983 since 1987 and it has cost less to keep than many lesser cars. Big trick is to buy as few parts from dealer as possible and DIY or find an honest mechanic.
