Those a very different models. Why do you want 4WD on the cabrio and not on the coupe ???

Or are you talking about testcars that actually exist? When I tested the 4S, Porsche Reading could not supply a coupe and I had to do the cabrio.

They sent me a letter out of the blue asking me to ring them and get a 24 hour test drive on either of the above models. Dunno where they got my info from, neither do they apparently.

Got to be over 25 - so I just made it :lol:

Less than 8 points

45 min familiarisation test drive which actually lasted about 10 and didnt leave the carpark.

Pick up at 2pm for 24hrs :D , weekdays only :cry:

You sign to say you'll only do 100 miles per day. But as I say I did over 250 and noone noticed.

Not yet, deals still being done. Dont want to tempt fate.

Needless to say after 24hrs with a 911 I was smitten. Be very careful going for the test drive - the force is strong with that one :wink:

How strange! I always thought that car manufacturers actually wanted to sell cars. Seems I have been mistaken.

Having done some work in the industry I can tell you it's much, much worse than you think .

25 to 75 made me laugh, though. Do you want a Type 25 or a Rover 75?
