Although it did prompt me to re-watch the GTC4 Lusso road test by Chris Harris! :lol:

Weird, not to even come back to you. Ah well. It would only have made you Jeeves for a couple of hours rather than a legs up for the day...

I heard Clarkson once described as a professional antagonist and I think that sums him up perfectly. Also Carmine looks surprisingly good in the metal but I still think it's a piss take to charge extra for it.

I agree with both of these points. :geek:

But Porsche are consumate experts in extracting money from their customers! ;)

Some would say that we are mad to spend £50k to £110k or more for a car in the first place. :o

Many would think I was crazy to pay what I did for red paint! :roll:

Others would say that £2,700 to £4,500 for a GTS interior is madness.

And I have always felt that the base models in each range provide much better value for money than the more expensive variants, be that Macan, 718, Cayenne or 911. :ugeek:

Ah WingCo I think I commented on another thread that we truly are privileged to be in a position to buy the cars we do and specify the options we want. In truth it is not uncommon for members to drop up to £15k on options which would buy the average family a perfectly good car.

Yes Porsche are very good at emptying our pockets but we are willing participants otherwise you wouldn’t have spent extra on red paint and I wouldn’t be contemplating a ludicrously expensive interior

Oops - am still catching up with recent forum posts. :oops:

Indeed you are right and I dropped about £13k of options on my Panamera 4, which could not be justified in any sane way. Plus, I'm sure I'll feel the pain when I come to trade in, possibly for a Mission E...

But we love our cars and at least we are helping to provide employment for all those who work at the Porsche Centres that we support! ;)

If it makes you feel any better I did just over £10k of options on a Mini 🙄. But I am enjoying it all. And the wife is too. All at a cost of course but we don’t work hard just for fun. Enjoy 👍
