very different cars?

i doubt Spie would take the Porka to the track, it's not that it isn't capable of it, the 911 is a good circuit racer. Would you risk some muppet crashing his car into yours? i'd reckon trackday insurance would be an expense most of us wouldn't like to pay for a 911 Turbo. That and i'm sure it'd void the 3 year Porsche warranty ;)

The X50 i spec'ed out came to $147k, that was going with most of the ridiculously overpriced options (HOW MUCH FOR A LEATHER STEERING WHEEL!) and the over the top charging for ally gearshift and gaiter, sills were reasonable compared to Mercedes $1200 for lighted door sills ($1200 for an LED, i think not).

X50 :eek: if only i had that kind of disposable income, i think i still would begrudge the cost just for a small horse increase. But i'm just tight :p

Worth selling your house for
that was what i was thinking when i got to deliver a customers flat nose 911 turbo(original!) a few years back...i have loved porsches since for ever, and i houded my boss for nearly a week for me to deliver the car back, and my efforts paid off:cool:

since i have contributed to the profits of ocuk i feel it is only reasonable for me to have the car for a weekend when you've had it a while:D

Is that on top of your travel cost to and from Stuttgart, or inclusive?

If it is, seems damn cheeky to me. Enjoy the car regardless, it really is a bloody awesome piece of kit :cool:
