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.

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

i've phoned Swindon, waiting for a call back, they were doing the 1hr test drives the other sunday and i phoned up Reading as a mate told me about it, and they basically told me where to go if i didnt have an invite !!

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?
