Default So I drove my Horse to the Porsche museum.....

In Mid June I took my horse for a little drive;

6,000kms in 22 Days to be precise.

I even parked her on that pavement of the Porsche Museum and took some photos.

The whole thread can be found here;

The nice chaps at Ferrarichat even awarded it the thread of the month.....

I hope you enjoy.

Thanks for sharing. I am yet to go to the factory. Some seriously sexy beasts to lust over.

I think Chris Harris had a 575, however this was only for a month and he sold it to buy his GT3.

He also just got an SLS as a review car in Blue. Mega!!

The archives, we didn't have time. However the Museum was worth the look.

Thanks for the sharing. Just spent the last hour over on Fchat drooling over your thread.

The 550 surely lived up to its reputation as a grand tourer!

Default Congrats!

That horse (model) has to be one of my absolute favorite cars to have owned and driven........

Hope you went to the Mercedes factory as well..... and of course, the Nurburgring!

I just did all of the above, including driving a Panamera through most of Germany - 260kms/hr for 5 uninterrupted minutes - fantastico!

Enjoy!
