Hi All,
I know this isn't Porsche related but anyway it's a great car enthusiasts story...
I heard a bit of a throaty engined car pulling up outside my house whilst in the shower this morning. Didn't think much else of it until I'd got changed and looked out the window. Now I don't know about other people but it's not often you get a Ferrari F430 parked outside your house.
So, I grab the camera, go outside and start snapping away. Anyway, the car it turns out belongs to a lad who was visiting his mother in the street. I'm busy snapping away and out comes the owner. First thing I say is "I don't know what job you do Mr but you must be good at it". We get talking and it turns out he's in advertised. Next thing, I'm in the car going for a spin round the block (shame I was in the passenger seat!).
What a car. I was surprised how quiet it was around town. When we found a quiet straight piece of tarmac...My god it was like God's plumbing. I was plastered into the seat with the acceleration. Gear after gear, the sound was unbelieveable. I was grinning ear to ear. I want one of these, I want one of these, I want one of these I kept repeating in my head. It's intoxicating good. I'd just keep slowing down so I could speed up again for the noise.
Anyway, the little drive out is over all to soon.
Even better though, the wife has just pulled up with the kids and weekly shop. We pull up and she's gorping at the Ferrari. 
Then, out I pop, thanked the nice gentlemen for the 'lift' and off he roars down the street. I walk past the wife (who's chin is now on the pavement) with a massive smile and say nothing. My daughter chirps up "Wow Dad. I like that man's posh car". I say "I know love, so do I". The wife is just stood there uttering "How...what...Lift?...Who was that?". It was beautiful the look on her face. Perfect and I'm still grinning about it whilst writing this post.

Still you got a spin out of it! Not been out in one of those myself.

Unreal, although TBH I'd probably cover the job until they got a replacement for me as I really enjoy this role (the first time of working in 36 years!) & I don't let people down.
