The 3.2 I had wasn't manual, which i guess was the main thing.
Heavy engine with heavy transmition made for a car which felt like a fast cruiser than it was something sporty around the B roads. Mix this with insurance almost twice as expensive, a lot on fuel and tax, and I just wished I was back in a 225 Bam!

Been on here for a good few years, still into cycling but also into cars.
Notice there's a few others on here who are Porsche fanatics, so thought I'd add mine :)
I always used to buy, sell, trade, keep bikes for a few months (even days!) before trading as I enjoy the chase, having something different as much as I do riding the bikes - I'm the same with cars.
Since 2020 I've had:
. MK4 Golf R32 (over rated, but wanted to scratch the itch)
. Mk1 Audi TT 225
. Mk1 Audi TT 3.2 V6 (also over rated, go for the 225)
. Civic Type R EP3 (all time favourite car that I've owned, K20 engine is something else)
. 986 boxster 2.7
. 986 boxster S 3.2
. 987 cayman 2.7
. 996 turbo
. 997 turbo
This brings me to my latest...
2003 Porsche Boxster 2.7 manual with a spicy exhaust and some lovely 18" Cayman wheels.
Other than the exhaust and the wheels, this car is 100% stock, which I love nothing more than a clean example of an older car :)
Plan for this is just to keep it for the warm weather and move it on eventually, OR scratch the 'club sport' itch... who knows
