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?
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. :roll:

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.

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.
