A radio does me as I enjoy the driving and let us face it one you are doing 100 plus you cannot hear much anyway.

The Porsche definately seems more raw and edgy and out of control which does add to the excitement but you cannot carry four spare wheels in the back so despite having four Michelin Cup shod wheels for over a year, I have yet to use them.

If I had the extra cash would I 'upgrade' to the 997RS, possibly yes but for the extra 400 quid in road tax and small performance improvements, I am not sure the money would be well spent.

All fair points and yeah tax disc purchase was a bit trumpy lol!

Funds permitting in the "top ten" i would have a silver 996 GT3 The very first one, they all seem to have starship miles these days though
