Nice car, but way overpriced unfortunately (otherwise I might well have bought one).

I was given the opportunity to go to the Chiswick Dealer for a VIP invite as a mate had the old 3.2S and was invited along for the launch party. I could not go but I was in Reading on monday night and I saw them all being delivered to the Head quarters for the launch/release.

There is already more of them than the S2000 on the roads

I was invited to a local Porsche dealer for their launch. He tried to sell it to me by telling me there would be "Champagne and nibbles" Must have mishead me when I said I drove a Honda.

Anyway, got a test drive in the next week or so. Doubt I'll be affording a new one.. or an old one.

I have to say, I do like the new 911, the 997. It is a HUGE lump of metal, but is instantly recognisable as teh new 911.

New Boxster is lurvley. Though about getting one, but Chester talked me out of it!
