I do apologise for calling and Alfa an Alpha (probably due to having studied Ancient Greek so Alpha mor natural than Alfa)!

Thanks Wingco. Bringing some colour to the world just like you in you’re T! Hope you’re enjoying it.

Oh yes, loving my Carrera T thanks, Hawkeye! Been dashing around the South of England and covered over 2,000 miles in it already! :D

How do you keep your car looking gleaming Hawkeye? As soon as I leave the drive my car seems to attract dust and muck like there is nothing else making it dull. It sounds like you have found your (car) match for now. Enjoy and keep us posted.

Loved my Sud Ti back in the day - foibles an’ all! And just love those offset tailpipes.

Great review Hawkeye. The car looks stunning & I’m glad you are enjoying your time in her.
I see one being driven fast nearly every morning & can see how well planted they are. Pretty little thing too!

That’s a really fine looking car Hawkeye! Clearly it’s a car that brings out the passion of owning and driving something a bit special, a car that makes the heart skip a beat when you open the garage door. Isn’t that what real car enthusiasts want? We’ve enough time on this planet to be dull and boring. Perhaps it’s that realisation that’s ‘driving’ some of us into sports cars.

Pleased that you thought it looked gleaming. The car basically had 3 days worth of corrective polishing and was then coated with Kamikaze Miyabi Coat, followed by ISM Pro. Those pictures are 3 weeks later having never been washed and after about 500 miles of driving. Surprised it still looked so clean to be honest.

Well said Nick and exactly right. If we could have made a 911 work for us, that would have been my first choice so I can absolutely see the appeal. The QF delivers a lot of the same performance but with enough practicality for family life.

Thanks Arif and hope you are still loving the GT3. I watched the Mr JWW video of his first drive as part of the Porsche 70 year celebrations up in Scotland and it looked and sounded amazing.

Hawkeye - yes I saw that video too and would love to do something similar in mine when I have the time. Like you I'm truly smitten with my motor, my only frustration is that I currently don't have anywhere to exploit that awesome performance. I'm seriously considering some track action!
