Shady Speedway Posted 21November, 2014 Report Share Posted 21November, 2014 When I got my 930 a guy I worked with asked if it was the 12 cyl. version. The other half called it a Ferrari for 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12 cyl version question I can forgive ...... Looks like it's time for a new "other half" ...... unforgivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutch-monkey Posted 22November, 2014 Report Share Posted 22November, 2014 My neigbor called my car a selfish car because it only has two seats haha i have had this- was on bribie island (they are a special bunch) running an errand for my old man in his GT3 at the time (hey if i gotta do a favour, i can at least use his car right?) and the house i was at the woman took a look at the car: "looks expensive!" well it wasn't cheap, no with a mystified look on her face she peers into the car and says "but why is it so expensive... it only has two seats?"

Barks Posted 20January, 2015 Report Share Posted 20January, 2015 Whilst at the drive thru bottle shop I had the front boot open and putting a slab of Heineken in it a bloke pulled up next to me and says " so that's what they run on!" Maybe you had to be there?...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HH1 Posted 20January, 2015 Report Share Posted 20January, 2015 I was in a carpark on Monday when a lady comes up to me and says "That's not a Porsche. I know what a Porsche looks like!" and walks away authoritatively. I was too dumbfounded to respond. Obviously she took the time to read the, notoriously hard to read, sticker above the rear bumper.

SteamWolf Posted 21January, 2015 Report Share Posted 21January, 2015 Was working on a project with a guy with a Ferrari F360. To be fair he was quite modest about it, but he mentioned how reliable it's been. I asked him how many kilometers were on it. 30,000 something k's. Ok, ok, I admit I set him up. I said "oh, ok, that's cool." and left it at that. He waited a moment and asked how many were on mine. When I told him, he asked how many on the current motor. I told him the same number. 405,000. He didn't want to talk cars after that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 21January, 2015 Report Share Posted 21January, 2015 Got my first 'are you having a mid life crisis' question the other day. I responded - 'no, I've already had it.' That shut her up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airhead Posted 21January, 2015 Report Share Posted 21January, 2015 In the 356 at a servo. Young kid (18??) gets out of a doof doof Nissan and walks over and eye balls the car. Asks what it is and how old it is. I tell him it's a Porsche 356 1960 model. Hmm... he says. Did you buy it new? If you're reading this kid......I AIN'T THAT OLD.

Most people driving 356s are "old" ; give him some credit When I was 18 I thought people in their late 30s looked old. My ex music teacher I thought at the time was mid 50s minimum, turned out he was 37 when he taught me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airhead Posted 22January, 2015 Report Share Posted 22January, 2015 Another 356 one that happens often. Just get out of or standing beside the 356 and people ask "Is it yours?" I say. "No. It belongs to my wife. She's had the car longer than she'd had me. She lets me work on it sometimes lets me drive it." They never know if I'm telling the truth or not.

Daz987 Posted 22January, 2015 Report Share Posted 22January, 2015 While working in Dubai, U.A.E. back in 2001 I drove with a group of friends to Muscat, Oman. I was in a Boxster S. When we went through the Border Control/Customs/Quarantine/Passport control [interesting to do in a car], an Old Arab Police Guy wanted to look at the engine of the new Boxster. Knowing it was a Porsche he walked around the back. I popped the back boot and he looked in and was totally bewildered. Then he walked around the front of the car and pointed... I opened the front. He almost died in shock. Another Arab Policeman that knew cars had to explain the motor was behind the seats and hidden away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiller Posted 31December, 2015 Report Share Posted 31December, 2015 Lady in mid to late 60s at car wash the other day asked if my car was a Mazda RX-8. I replied "No, it's a Porsche 911". She proceeded to tell me about how RX-8s are such great cars and how her grand son wants one anyway. I don't think she new what a 911 was an definitely knew nothing about Mezger as when the attendant started the car she asked if it was a V8.

Blue964 Posted 31December, 2015 Report Share Posted 31December, 2015 My hipster neighbour who insists on telling me my GT3 is a good looking 928. One day I will correct him but in the meantime I will leave him to thinking it's a 928. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whytar Posted 16January, 2016 Report Share Posted 16January, 2016 I'm at a car meet 3-4 years ago with my '78SC (41,000kms from new - mint condition) and I'm talking to a guy who has 'just' bought a brand new HSV Clubsport off the showroom floor. We get to talking about the Porsche and he says 'f*$k dude, that's a lot of money to sink for a car that old, you're never getting that back'.Funny - over the next 18 months my car doubled in value, and his halved!

Fraz Posted 16January, 2016 Report Share Posted 16January, 2016 God where do I start. My bogan mates still can't comprehend I have a 911. Never have I seen such "hate" toward a car. Comments like "why did you sell the Monaro", guess we all make mistakes. POOOSH, why!.Is that car parked or abandoned. When are you selling it to buy another Holden. I always come back with, "have you driven one" Answer is always NO. I wonder why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
