One of my priorities is alot more walking jaunts to get fitter, too many years spend behind a desk

I was reading a review last night on Auto express Byron, it said Porsche are not making this a limited run and should still be in production even when the new electric boxsters go on sale in 2025.

Despite buying 4 new porches it seems im not meeting the requirements for this which really sucks. i HATE their waiting list procedure and i genuinely feel these go to their mates where they get some nice kick backs when they sell on for 100k over list, absolutely terrible. Id cherish this thing!
Way out of my league right now so not even being close it's just another will never have 'Want' for me. I can imagine your frustration though if one is within reach, you'll get one at some point, but it'll be 2nd hand and north of £180k I'd imagine.
That's a spiffing little number...! Apart from the stupid arrow rear turn signals it's very very nice..!Nanu wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 3:29 pm Not one for EV’s but this may cause a Gulp as well?

Absolutely 100% no chance for me at the moment Byron so as said, first dibs on your M.Beedub wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 5:21 pmif i can get one, ill be selling the z4m to make it happen.......john-e89 wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 10:44 amI was reading a review last night on Auto express Byron, it said Porsche are not making this a limited run and should still be in production even when the new electric boxsters go on sale in 2025.

Surely it lacks the latter unless your into milk floats
It's a bit like ripping engines out of classics and fitting an electric motor
