Thank you, I bought a car thats mileage 58,250 miles and now its done 59,600 in 4 months nearly. Anyways I got this so that I can drive it and not be nervous to rack up the miles say in the likes of a 10,000 mile car perhaps.

I am seriously in love with this car and have recently covered 2,000KM in two weeks. Its hard not resist driving this car and enjoying the splendid weather and open roads in the early hours of the weekend. The car has been very reliable after it came out of the workshop and I glad I got it sorted. Reminiscing the times I watched BadBoys as a kid and saying one day I would own my very own Turbo 3.6 in Black/Black its remarkable how times pass by so quickly. I am very thankful for completing one of the bucket list wishes and feel very proud of it.
Having had this car for 4 months now I must say I feel extremely privileged in owning such a menace of a car, its old schooled yet modern and looks amazing in our roads filled with the latest and greatest exotics. In order to import one here in Kuwait the car has to be 40 years old to get one in our shores, having sourced the car locally is great as I don't think I could ever wait 20 plus years to own one because the car is getting day and day harder to obtain and appreciating well. I sometimes think why I didnt get this car earlier, it was more affordable back then but thats life you don't know what a new day will bring you of ideas.
As many of you know the Turbo 3.6 is impressive and its amazing for Porsche to release something of this caliber back then when they were in deep financial troubles. Given all of that together, BadBoys movie and low production of 1,437 makes this an interesting package.
There is a certain lust to the wide arches, whale tale, speed line polished wheels with rivets and lip, single turbo, rwd and no traction control. Driving in this car it feels very special, simple but sometimes simplicity is the key. In todays society that is fast paced, lots of tensions and stress its impressive such a mean like the turbo 3.6 will make you forget about the bad day your facing and just have a grin driving it peacefully or flat out. This turbo monster requires your 110% attention when the turbo's spool and is a menace of a car.
In conclusion, where there is a will there is a way. Its important to not lose the passion and work hard to this dream or any thing you really want in life. After 18+ years I got to own my very own Turbo 3.6 and its one of my proudest achievements is doing it on my own. In the very own words of one of my favourite artists the late Frank Sinatra.
"I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way "
I like to kick back and relax to the tune of Frank Sinatra My Way as I rest on the couch wasting time and looking at the Black Beauty the Turbo 3.6
Enjoy the pictures and have a great day!!!

One the best looking Porsche EVER - and was already my teenage dream car before the movie Bad Boys..but that made it even more desirable.
I could have bought one some years ago..at more or less half of todays money..I chose instead to save the money for a GT3..
Anyway, this cars is not getting out of my head..one day I need one..
Treat it well..

Great day regardless of the sand storm outside. Dropped my car at 7:30am at the Porsche Dealer for a full 3m clear bra.
Watched the F1 race which was very interesting as I am glad Lewis Hamilton made it up with the Redbull drivers in the top 3 with his new team.
The car has been recently detailed which is a night and day difference.
