When I managed Porsche's press/test fleet in SoCA, I delivered a new 2001 996 Cab Tip, in Barney purple, it is Matthew Perrys DD in "Nine & a half weeks" with Bruce Willis.

Matt Perry is a Porsche enthusiast & owner. Soon after the 996 was returned to the fleet, Matt Perry wrecked his personal Porsche & PCNA loaned him the Barney996 Cab while he was Porsche-less.

Last night I watched a recording of a recent Wheeler Dealers episode where Ed turned a $2,000 boxster s into a gem.

"Nine 1/2 Weeks" was made in 1986 and starred Mickey Roarke and Kim Bassinger.

Are you thinking about "The Whole Nine Yards"? Thought Perry drove an econo-box, like a Corolla, in that one. It was filmed in Quebec, circa 2000. Or maybe "The Whole Nine Yards 2", aka "The Whole Ten Yards"? That one was filmed in LA, circa 2004.

You're right, 1 of the whole nine yards where he was a dentist & Willis was a hitman.

I guess the nine 1/2 weeks title dominates my memory!

Ok, thought of a 986 story: PCNA provided Melissa Etheridge with a Cobalt blue 986 hoping she would use it in a music video. When I went to her home in Brentwood CA I found the 986 parked outside under a tree. I had never seen any car so covered in bird crap. She came out to greet me & we talked for a while about her desire for a fun car. Parked under her carport was a BMW 745 & the 66 Falcon she moved to CA in, seen in a previous music video.

I can understand how any normal, healthy male can think that!

Especially when Kim performs that strip tease to Joe Cocker's "You Can Leave Your Hat On".
