    Let's have William talk to the Hongkong importer

    Hongkong regularly sells a huge number of Porsche and all through one importer/dealer. It is the same importer that recently expanded into China.

    He must be megga-rich. This is just the sort of publicity stunt they, and Porsche, would love. We could drive the first release of the Cayenne to them via the old Silk Route -- proof positive that the car can take it (assuming it does take it).

    Hell, I'd even be willing to sew a Porsche sticker on my bum.

    I really do think this is a great idea. Just the sort of publicity everyone needs.

    Pakistan

    I think Pakistan would be ok. We'd just need a little "protection".

    In Cambodia we use to regularly take along police with AK-47's. I always felt very safe ... well until the guy started to doze off and his gun would slowly start to fall. There are some very big pot holes in Cambodia.

    Re: Just emailed my friend

    who is also a close friend to the owner of the Porsche distrubutor of hong kong, he is also interested in doing it....

    The idea is great, but my guess is that if they are going to do it, they will reserve this kind of publicity stunt for someone like Walter Rorhl or some 'big name' race driver, because this not only promote the Cayenne but the driver also. What if we really didn't make it

    But lets keep our finger cross..

    Re: Pakistan

    Not a good idea

    Walter Rorhl would never have time ...

    And besides, I couldn't imagine a quicker way to destroy a car.

    Seriously, he would start, drive about 10 km, and then they'd substitute a dummy for him. Then when we got to Guangzhou he'd hop back in and finish it off. Sounds fine by me.

    Even more seriously, I can imagine that if it was the importer's gig he would want to use Chinese as the leading lights as well as one or two local gwilos. The reason being that he would want to maximise the local promotional value and to do this you want to choose people that the public can identify with. So you William can be the token chink and I'll be the token gwilo. Sorry RC, no room!!

    Re: Pakistan
