    I've met Stek and that's what I based my comment on

    Walk in to the dealership in a suit and they think they are gonna get audited or something.

      Is a pretty good idea, but without the tash.

          I wasn't wearing a cloth cap, but surely they would look and based on my apparent age/dress sense I am pushing towards a mid life crisis, therefore perfect fodder for their sales patter.

            Did you believe that the Louboutin high heel shoes would help your cause, then?

              I have to tuck my, um, torque wrench, in somewhere.

                Own a decade old 911 aka 996 Turbo S Cabriolet so when it goes in for servicing have a loaner.

                Modern "911" is a lovely car and has more modern feel/ride etc. The Panamera is a great car with much more internal room for the rear passengars. The latter just feels a little bigger on the road.

                I would never turn up at a clients with a Porsche and so have the garage queen and a typical german luxobarge. Do not work in IT nor Finance so "moneys tight" and do not want "how much are we paying xxxxx"

                If could only have one car and not fear car-park-envy, the Pan would most certainly be right up there on the shortlist. Just about blends in with traffic. Decent size for occupants. Drives very well and hides it size and steers very well when being hussled. Naturally, it is more practical than the 911 whlilst keeping much of the style and performance associated with the marque. Fuel economy is not ridiculous either.

                  They couldn't believe anyone wanted something so stupid. Vauxhall sold less than 1300 in 3 years
