Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum

I recently became a parent for the first time and now have a son named Hartley, who is just over two weeks old.

I was instructed by my wife prior to his birth to ensure that we had the basic stuff to look after a newborn baby boy. Evidently it is important that he is brought up properly, so nappies, clothing and rattles took a back seat and I did what any normal father would do in these circumstances and bought him a Porsche - evidence below.

Very nice car, lovely colour. Any plans to fit split rims?

Congrat's to Hartley on his new car.

Glad to see you have your priorities right.

Ummm very nice GT3 Orange as well. Doesn't look very big, won't you have to jam him in when he gets bigger & that'll give him the pip.....

Can it be converted to run on methane power because there'll be plenty of supply
Many congrats to you and Mrs 'targa on your new addition.

Congratulation on the birth of your lad Hartley. Well done on becoming a parent. Its a life changing experience for the better. Sleepless nights, colourful nappies, baby puke....

All the best,

Ben

Good man, start 'em young

I reckon that’s even more lightweight than the Boxster Spyder.

I hope you’ve got him a proper six-point harness for racing safety!

Many thanks for your good wishes, they are much appreciated at this time of turmoil!

Hartley's Porsche is a bit lightweight, I agree, but it performs very well - you may have to staple him into the seat and gaffertape him to my Jack Russell to get any forward momentum, but it goes round corners like its on rails. Sadly the exhuast note is a bit lacking, the CD player was an optional extra I overlooked and in retrospect I should have specified a leather interior rather than hard plastic but shit, he's two weeks old and doesn't know any better so he still thinks its cool.

The other option was to get an MOT failure 928 and dump it in the back garden for him to use as a climbing frame or clubhouse but I think I would have been looking at a divorce if I'd done that.

Liking your way of thinking I'd even have a play if that was in my garden
