So much to unpack about this car.... Quite the assault on the senses.
Clicky
Bin the spoiler and wrap it in a dark colour and it'd be ace! I love top down motoring and having that engine to listen to would be superb.
As it is though, it's bloody awful.
Ah, so what you want is a normal Z06

No. This would be fine with spoiler delete and a wrap. Not too difficult to understand surely.
The Z06 doesn't have that engine.

Cayenne’s are not cheap to keep running.
Voice of recent experience ? Not
completely surprising to be fair but if you've got some pointers that'd be handy.
Also surprised the boot is significantly smaller. What's the driving position like compared to the Touareg ?
You can see how the rake effects the load space, might be a similar volume but practically it’s significantly smaller. Driving position is about the same, cayenne seats probably go a bit lower, seats are more or less exactly the same.
Small write up in ‘fleet reports’.

Is that Champagne-something-or-other? I'm sure they used that as a launch colour for the 996, was in brochures and looked good, but in a "nice but I'd never actually own it" sort of a way.
That’s Lime Gold metallic on the Boxster.
The 996 one is meridian metallic.

I like the look of this actual example, looks in great condition, decent price, FSH etc. Just not sure about that colour leather on a black car, I think it looks much better on the dark blue. I know, I know, once you're sitting in it, it will be the same, but I think it would bug me.

I have a strong dislike for almost all non-black Porsche interiors where they have applied the “exploding paint tin” approach. Lighter colours can look great on seats and door cards, but ain’t nobody in their right mind wanting a completely beige or light grey steering wheel
Conversely they’ve done some of the best - pasha being a particular highlight.

At least that one has black carpets and floor mats. Don’t understand any manufacturer which allows lighter coloured carpets which just look like crap after 1000 miles.

I see you have the water feature rear lights in common with my 997.

Not just Savannah, but Savannah ruffled leather. Ergh
To be fair, I think it's worse on a blue car. But the exterior colour is irrelevant once you're sitting in beige.

You’ll get a good price on that. Last time I looked on PH there’re a couple threads about people looking for 4S.
Or put a free ad on 911UK forum.
Sounds like a fine car, don’t sell it too cheap!

Yo I heard you like green, so I put extra green on your green.

A slightly broken Cayenne. More tempting than it should be.

Judging from Nic's post, you could easily be spending the same again on it.

Loose timing chain. Really?? At least they've put 300 miles on it to make sure it isn't terminal
Does look tempting though as it can't be too serious, surely??

Would cost no more than a grand for a replacement engine and a few pints Shirley.
