Keeping it on topic.

Just do the 911 and the California.
I'd like a full review on the California please,
size of the boot when the roof is down etc...
Enjoy, you lucky b**'#``

The Ferrari California was superb! Of the 6 cars I drove it was my joint favourite with the Nissan GT3.
The California handled really well, really felt in touch with the road but at the same time it was very refined.
Picture of the boot attached - as you can see, virtually no space.

Fab day but it was VERY busy at Dunsfold. What I don’t get is that many drivers were driving very slowly and blocking the track. Had to wait for their instructors to waive me through, which was a little frustrating at times. Why have a Lambo experience to only do 50mph!!??

The Atom 2 was awesome!

Yep. 1992 964 3.3L Turbo II 80,000km
I have to confess, I also have a 2009 997.1 4S

The 964 drives like a go-cart, the only 'driver assist' is ABS and a slip diff on the rear. I don't drive it in the wet, too easy to lose the rear end if you drop a gear at the wrong time and the turbo kicks in.

The 997 is the best car I've ever driven for response, road holding, etc. by a long way. I used to do 200km per day in it at one point and enjoyed every km.

964 is really 'old school' in the radio department...

I have the same Blaupunkt head unit in my Golf. Nice bit of retro:hi tech kit.
