The boss drove up in a gleaming Panamera S dressed in Porsche Jet Green Metallic paint with Luxor Beige leather interior. The only way to get some great shots was to take it off the lot where a crowd had started gathering.

They're very rare here. Everywhere else too, probably.

At the lunch stop at Kiama, these 4 also turned up. They were on a rent-a-drive day. I thought the 35 Porsches in our group were far more interesting. But I will admit to a bit of a bias.

The cars now come standard with heated sports seats, touch screen computer, iPod connectivity, rear parking sensors, rear wind deflector and probably a couple of other things I've forgotten. Seems like a bargain to me.

I only had the iPhone with me. The ROW (Rest Of World, which means other than the US market) 1975 Carrera used the same running gear as the revered 1973 2.7 litre Carrera RS. The US market models didn't use the 'thirsty, dirty' but powerful mechanical injection giving 210 bhp, but the K-Jetronic injection giving better economy, cleaner running, but only 175 bhp. An advantage of these earlier 911s is that they're very light. Before the days of electric windows, side intrusion bars, 28 speaker stereo systems, airbags, electric seats and...
