About 6 years ago a work colleague decided to buy (actually leased) a 911 for his wifes' 50th. It was an auto base Carrera. I found it strange as they had no real interest in sports cars or racing, etc. They hardly used it and drove it like nuns! and gave it back after 2 years. I think they just liked to tell people they had a 911! I remember saying why not get a Boxster or Cayman - no it HAD to be a 911! A better status symbol I guess!

There used to be a saying in the UK - MG F's were driven by 'chaps' who stand around in pubs talking about them - while MX 5's (Miatas) were driven by 'blokes' who were out driving the crap out of them!
