I've been away for a couple of weeks, so had to go out for a drive this morning.

Wet, cold, mist on the hills, and hardly any traffic..a perfect January day for an R in Scotland.

Ya 615 looks about right. I think the stripes are GT Silver?

Agree it looks great, but this typo would irk a little...

Last time I checked, it was Steve McQueen.

To be honest I find the quote a little cheesy on a car in any case.

^^^ If I had the car and it was my fault with the error, I would get over it. Now if Porsche made the mistake, I would try and get them to replace it.

I wonder if this was done on purpose due to some copyright/trademark issues. I'm pretty sure that name is very well protected.

I suspect it's just the person who specced the car being French and therefore not having English as a first language and not realising the correct way to write it.
