I am with you Nick.
I learnt on a VW Beetle 1303S. The super beetle model with McPherson front suspension and 1600cc motor. It was all over the place and acted as a natural kerb to my youthful exuberance. Later in life I bought 911/930 to see what the story was. Not for me. That's the good thing about the world personal choice and choices.
Then again many of my choices are wide open to question.
