Perry, I suspect such are the variations in human nature that there will ever be those who suffer greatly from envy and to extreme degrees at times, more is the pity.

I do remember driving along the long flat strait dual carriageway just before entering Dundee many years ago, sitting at a steady 70 in my red 911, and spotting an old viva slowly creeping up on me making smoke like a RN destroyer in battle. it was bobbing along like a three legged horse as at least one if not more of it`s shockers was obviously shot, as it drew level I noted it was loaded with maw, paw and the weans, ( Scottish for Kinder Heinz) with paw looking very determined to beat the Porsche...!!! I slowed up to let him "win" , that being the only sensible thing to do..?

Not much further on on entering the outskirts of city there are/ were (?) a series of consecutive roundabouts with reasonable distance between them, again it seems I picked up a tail hugger, this time a 2CV..! Well it seems a 911 can take roundabouts a tad less dramatically than a 2CV, so after the first he dropped back, but determined as he was he caught up on the straight just before the next roundabout which by the time he rounded that one behind me he was the equivalent of knee down, and close to loosing control, fortunately I was close to my destination and turned off...phew..!

I have to say that the immediate predecessor of my red 911 was a black one which did not seem to attract the same degree of unfortunate attention, though at the time my daily would be my old pick up truck. and when out in the 911 I could find myself sitting waiting and waiting for some kind soul to let me out at a "T" junction, and wondering why..then remembering I was in the 911 and not the truck, the answer became all to obvious..!

I guess I became hooked on Porsche on first viewing then then new film release "LeMans" at the only then also new wide screen picture hall in the city... It is all too simple to get hooked on media hype relative to Porsche, perhaps best to carry out some research, other than the huge amount of rave reviews spouting all the oft repeated verbiage from front line commentators to over enthusiastic owners who have swallowed the lot, hook line and sinker..?

Air cooled Porsches are very special cars but EXPENSIVE to repair and they can corrode rather badly too. There are a whole lot of shiny looking Porsches out there with all sorts of bodge hiding below the paint. As for the water cooled variety, they can have issues too, all the way up till circa 2009 when the 997.2 version seemed to have overcome the engine issues that reportedly blighted circa 3% of Porsche production even at low mileages..?

But then Morgan are not without their ...err...foibles too, just that at least in the case of Trads, they are for the most part, simpler to resolve...?

utilising due dillegence and cost benefit analysis will hopefully pay dividends if you do decide to take the plunge into P ownership, though having typed that, I should read that which I type myself on occasion, not sure it was wise to buy a C4S with Greece on fire and Venice flooding as well as whatever the Covid re-set effect might be on future taxation justification... etc. etc. etc... confused2
