I had from new an '89 model 911 with the works spoilers. My 1984 BMW 318i made the Porsche feel very dated; a fabulous engine in a squashed beetle that gave me a shock spin on a track day after many confidence-inspiring laps (never lift off the throttle when entering a corner on the limit!); I dared not push it on the road after that, given that you often don't know what's around the corner. When I sold the 911 through the dealer, he let me drive home in a 944 S2 3-litre, which was to my mind certainly a better car functionally, but had - like so many German cars - no charisma.
Pleasure to hear this story and be able to capture it!

Oh Great one day I must buy a Porsche from yourselves.
