That's what I was thinking. Did you see the new 991 club sport? They only made 13.

OK

I'll take the 550 Spyder, the 959 and the 904 and the 2.7 RS . . .

No wait . . .just send them all over to me !

It'a only about 300 miles from my place so transport will be rally cheap . . .

Thanks for sharing

Porsche and Rolex is a dream combo imho. I went to the Porsche factory too in 98 with my German cousin, had a great time and I think we went and saw Armageddon afterwards. Ah memories...
