Yeah that's because you'd need a Ladder to get in otherwise!

Nice

I was at jzm yesterday as he was having is akrapovic exhaust fitted to his 997rs.

There are some seriously nice cars up tree including a 9993 turbo.

That's where I get mine serviced. I never tire of sitting in all the cars they have in stock, 996 GT3s, 997 GT3s and even a Panamera last time.

This caught my eye but can't justify having that much money sat in the garage

This looked really nice but I would prefer a 997

I've owned the 993 for 7 years and when I think of what could replace it 996 GT3 or 997 GT3 with buckets and in Riveria Blue would be right up there. As would a V12 Vantage, or an Audi R8.

There's so much nice metal out there and my garage and bank account just isn't big enough!

Having driven a few 997 RSs on track, I can see me getting one or just a gt3 to replace the exige at some point but as I say it is a lot of money to have say there for something that only comes out a dozen times a year
