The wife has always wanted a 911, I’ve saved and invested for my entire working life and I now find myself (40 years of age) slap bang in the middle of a mid life crisis thinking it may be a good idea to spend a little cash on something I can enjoy with the whole family rather than watches all the time. So I went to a very well thought of local Porsche specialist yesterday and fell utterly in love with a stunning 997 Targa with all the knobs and whistles.
It really is an utter minefield of course, there seem to be more model variants of the 911 than there are fish in the sea, and hence the visit to the local garage to have a look and a good old chat.
It’s early days of course, I need a couple of weeks cooling off period at least, and I need to do a bit more research, but before I take the big plunge....
I know there are those on here who love their cars, and moreover their Porsche’s, so does anyone have any pearls of wisdom for me?? And am I barking up the wrong tree?? Should I be looking at something else entirely?? The only requirement really is that it needs to be convertible, nice to look at, able to just about fit the 9 and 7 year old kids in the back for 3/4 hour drives to the beach, and be good for about 1000 miles a year.
