My car of the year 2019.

 

 

I've just been reading the Evo review of this car.  Basically there's nothing else in it's segment that can compare, e.g; it's the f'ing dogs! 

 

I think it looks lovely and it prompted me to get on the Porsche configurator.  I managed to get a nice one spec'd for £90K and went for a risqué Gentian Blue Metallic and just because it complimented the yellow carbon brake callipers, I also added yellow seatbelts, dials and contrasting seat trim (no honestly it was nice!) 

 

Now to find that 90K that I dropped behind the cushions when having that nana nap last Sunday....

Perhaps Porsche will take one kidney in part-ex for the deposit.

Unfortunately I believe the Cayman GT4 & Spyder are limited volume and only going to Porsche Selected Customers.Who will probably will sell them on for £110 k +. Which is what happened to the previous GT4.

It is my car of the year. 

No this time around saw a Porsche guy say that this will become a regular model and IS NOT limited in numbers unlike the previous model due to them vastly underestimating the huge demand last time.

I saw a GT4 in Racing Yellow a few months back.  It looked stunning. 

 

Must admit, I think if I had the chance to own one 'high end' car in my lifetime, it would be a Porsche; classy and understated and people won't hate you.

Only 420nm of torque. Needs a good thrash then.

Still something special about the original mini after 60years . My era as a petrol headed youth, lots of fun, easy to tinker with & maintain . Simples.

I rate it as one of the best regardless of it's origins 😉

It may even have a perfectly straight reg plate 😉

Oh my.  Those B pillar vents are taken straight from an Apache, no? I really want those to be capable of firing hellfire missiles. 

 

 

Not a bad every day package from Audi & it's Diesel.

 "So we've got diesel rattle from the front but we've got a V8 wuffle from the back" -- That's probably not going to cut it for most die hard Renn Sport fans.   

 

I don't think it sounds that great TBH.  An AMG V8 on the other hand, makes me tingle...

 

I can't help but feel that Audi should have released this car 3-5 years ago, pre-diesel gate and whilst the 6cyl BiTDI was very much 'in fashion'.   The 4.2 V8 in the '12 RS4 was a pretty special engine, it revved and revved and was lovely to drive easily, I'm not convinced we'll be saying the same for this new engine in a few years but sadly my close friend you used to take me on S/RS/R8 promo days is no longer in the UK, so I won't be able to find out any time soon.  

 

The only saving grace that I can think of is it could be more appealing to company car drivers with good allowances.
