Surely if you have a really nice Porsche that you really like driving then it's PERFECT for a daily?
Completely agree, it'll be an awesome daily driver! And sounds like a great buying experience and a car to really use. Congrats James 8)

Thanks all :)

I'm smitten by it ... looking forward to european touring , early morning blasts into the dales etc

I did set out to purchase a daily driver , but reality is for daily family duties etc we have a normal car that munches the miles & will do the real bad weather. When my wife is out in that car I'll use either the 964, the CSL or the landy. If I need the family car for work then Jo will use the 964 ( she doesnt like the CSL , either to drive or to passenger ! ). The CSL is the car I'll probo be using more as I can use it for work without looking flash & it's just one of the practical fun cars I've had.

Regarding travelling to europe, the prices over there are comparable & in a lot of cases higher than here. I went to europe because there just aren't the cars over here anymore & I wanted LHD . I also had convinced myself the quality of cars might be better ... having looked at cars in the dusseldorf 'museum' that isnt the case ... its still a matter of searching out the good ones ( they are over 20 years old and can show it ) . I spent a lot of time searching and this one jumped out at me ... I went on gut feel when I saw it so didnt' bother with an inspection etc

Lets just hope the UK registration process isnt' too slow ... still waiting for a V55/5 form to come through from teh DVLA and for Porsche to produce a COA for me

... forgot to mention , in a very bizarre way , on the trip back from dusseldorf we were listening to various radio station through Germany & Holland & no word of a lie , but every song that came on was period appropriate for the car ! TBH, I was starting to get a bit tired of Phil Collins etc by the time we arrived at Rotterdam :lol:

also , I need to than Chris Jury & Bert who were both helped with answers to questions of mine usually relating to Europeans ways of doing things :lol:

Nice car James

Daily driver- think you all know where I stand on that. Perhaps it's worth confirming the pros and cons in a calm, rational logical way

Downsides-
- will speed up corrosion (but you can protect against it to some extent)

Upsides-
- chance for fun drive every day
- doing what it was built for
- keeps the seals, rubbers etc supple as they are constantly being used
- you really get to know your car
- each commute can turn into something special
- your driving skills improve
- admiring glances from other road users
- practice your heel and toeing every day
- women want you
- men want to be you
- live your life every day instead of planning to live it at the weekend

Lovely looking car James!
Could you tell me the name of the museum in Düsseldorf?
Am going there to see my son in a couple of weeks and would love to visit.

It's more a collection of classic car businesses under one roof. Well worth a visit though

:) Could there be a more perfect car for driving up muddy tracks and calling in on Yorkshire farmers ?

Nothing needs doing really... The only things I've identified is a slightly notchy throttle pedal / cable ... Probo a legacy of only 1000 miles per annum and poss lub the clutch pedal. I'll get it fully serviced , tappets , plugs etc at some point in the coming months

I love deep pink innards.

It's very cool James and I always knew deep down you were a man who liked pink
