Porsche have just opened a dealership in Wolverhampton... I can just see the sales team standing around watching the clock and praying someone will visit soon :rofl: :poke:

Lot of money in Wolverhampton, they are just tight, very careful where and when to spend money.
The only trouble with Porches, they all look a bit dated, no mater how well they perform.
Even Audi TT looks old.

I would have to question the legitimacy of any top trumps of convertibles that doesn't have either the MX5 or Boxster in it's top 5, to have neither I would find incredulous.

Another one http://www.whatcar.com/news/best-and-wo ... -60k-2016/, this one is also suspect, I'm not sure I would classify half of them as a sports cars, a four door saloon does not a sports car make, just because the marketing departments of the car maker says it's so :headbang:

There's an interesting article http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture ... efinition/ here, on one persons definitions which I broadly agree with, the MGB classification reminds of endless arguments over the e86 on here....
