Default 500,000 mile 996 turbo in Panorama

Has anyone read the article in the recent Pano on the 996TT with 500k+ miles?

It also says that prior to the 996TT, the owners had a 928S4 with 300k+ miles...

Not bad..!!

It seems they were taking lots of trips for a few days every week just for the fun of it. Oh dinner in Colorado tomorrow night,ok, honey, jump in the turbo, and let's go..

I love it..!!

Great article. Worth the read. Panorama has really become a much better publication over the past couple years IMO.

Yes I have started reading this article but I'm not done yet. I am now at the 337,000 miles point of the article, no spoilers please !

I would love to be able to drive all around like that and still have enough money to sustain myself !

Sure thing..

You could probably start a special courier service and write off all the mileage...! That might help....
