I've had nothing but VW Golfs for ever... but I did once have to look after a mate's 964C2 for a while when he lost his licence... that was a chore. I've yearned for a 911 ever since. My brother, however, has rubber my nose in it for years having worked for AFN since he was 12 or something. Still, he's moved back up here (North) and has a MPV for his expanding family and I can rub his nose in my 993... ha haaa muahhahaaaa. Yawn!
