    911, best sports car ever?

    If versatility is high on your list, then no doubt.

    First surf trip with the car and it was perfect.
    Very good traction on the sand and on the mud
    Interior very muddy now
    And plenty of storage space helps too!
    Ok, obviously a Cayenne is more suited but so much fun to get there and back with the Carrera.
    Sorry for the pic quality, taken with phone.

    Franch,

    I think you're too modest.

    What other sports car can be driven every day yet outperforms most, if not all cars, on tricky circuits? The Porsche 911. I think its the greatest sports car in the world.

    I think you have proven this with your performance on the track and now your travel on the sand.

    Cheers to you all guys!

    Not sure about the limit weight, I think it's 75 kgs.
    But it'll hold surfboards, bikes, snowboards, no problem.

    To fit the board inside, I haven't tried, but I would assume that by reclining the passenger seat almost flat, you could maybe fit up to a 7ft.

    That weekend North Devon coast.

    I feel your pain re the dirty car.
    Ideally, I would have taken any other car.
    Interior is covered in sand and splashed with mud now!!!
    The leather seems allright though.

    Yes it is the best, but what kind of surf board did you use and how were the waves?
