TESTER’S NOTES
Absence of 964 EV’s flat six makes the heart grow fonder
Your car, your rules. Not for me the sneering at a lowered Volkswagen Golf GTI that scrapes fibreglass along every speed hump it meets, nor any tutting at a Ford Granada turned banger racer. And ultimately I will turn a blind eye to those who put 6.0-litre AMG V8s in genuine Mercedes 300 SL Gullwings. There were a dozen, I think. One was painted in camouflage.
So, I’m not a purist, then. I own a 1973 Volkswagen Beetle with ‘Baja’ springs and terrible fibreglass; and a Honda 125 commuter motorbike that’s slowly becoming a Scrambler. I’m very much of the ‘your car, do what you like’ mindset.
