Default Affluent Scots and their Porsches

Interesting quote from this article in the Scotsman:

Welcome to the elegant, scented world of the new affluent Scots. Where wines are Pinot Noir and Shiraz, the time is told by Cartier or Breitling, and the cars range from Porsche Boxsters for the ladies to the Porsche 911 for the men
So, it's the same up in Scotland too ! I just know that some people will find this interesting

I drove 200 miles through the highlands yesterday with the hood down - dry if a little chilly.

Passed about 5 Boxsters - only one had the roof down.

Clearly so affluent they can't be bothered to reach for the roof switch.
