Agree. Do they have any Porsches in Mongolia? North Korea? At least a 997 (I've not seen anything older than that in China) from a dodgy character in Shanghai, and a bit of a road trip home?70sThrowback wrote:brilliant thread, please go and buy another car!
Thanks again for posting.
Cheers, Richard.

A most enjoyable story, I envy you having often thought about buying a car that appealed while overseas, but never having the courage.
I expect you’ll fix it and sell it and get another next year.

Loved the adventure Jonny.
I've bought cars while on holiday but had as much fun as you getting them home.
Can't wait for your next trip and purchase

Me too and great to catch up to hear you made it home in style.Gary71 wrote:Great story telling, just imagining the bump start on the train really made me smile
Memories of my 911 starter dying en route to a Spa trackday. Luckily the paddock has a gradient and I had a friend onboard for bump-starting duty on the Eurostar. We found it funny, but fellow travellers weren't too impressed.
