Hmmmm, seems to me there are a lot of people who think because a car is small it's girly??

Not all small cars are girly, but ones that have a colour option of barbie pink do seem a little girly! If your after something more manly try the micra cc or ka convertible lol

I drove a Cassis (Purple to you and me!!) Micra 'Shape' in the 1990's........

Went like a bat out of hell even if it did sound like a chain saw on steroids at 'motorway speeds'

So that's one Hairdresser's car (though a lot better than a TT), a Truck and a Shopping Trolley in that order then.  The 'manly' one is which......or did you mean to type mainly?

[pvr]

I know how to type, thanks 

Been using all cars during the last week, which is a first.

Just means I have to wash all of them as well though  :'(

I'm poor now yes having forked out £63k of the governments tax sorry my hard earned. If you don't spend £100k on your 991 when you buy one then you haven't specced it right or you have been tight!

They only keep making the 911 because they are still working out how to get the engine in the right place! 50 years on and they are still scratching their heads!

doesn't the boxter have the engine in the same place as the 911?

Nope. Boxster mid engined like a proper car say Ferrari - 911 is so old, like PVR, that it was built 50 years ago they designed the car and forgot about the engine and plonked it right at the back becaus they couldn't think of anywhere else!
