.....on Antiques road trip this week and fell in love with it. It's not something I've taken much notice of previously, but really attractive car.

Was it not the speedster version of the 356 in which James Dean was killed?or am I thinking of the wrong porker?

Porkers never have appealled to me. Neither old nor knew, looks wise at least. Guess I should drive  one at some point. See what the fuss is about  :-\

I saw a Porsche Panemera the other day and thought to myself "Now that's an Omega replacement!"  :y

Trouble is even secondhand ones start at £40,000!  :o  Maybe one for Lord Opti when he gets fed up with the Signum.  :-\  ;)

It says a lot that at a recent do, I went straight past the Cayenne, straight past the brand new Boxster GTS Turbobig'dangle berries', and into the Panamera they had. Then started bemoaning the absence of a third pedal, until it was pointed out to me that the "lead in" Pans have a sensible engine and proper box...
