After twenty years of driving and dealing in classic Porsche I have finally jumped ship. To be fair, a well sorted 3.2 Carrera with a fresh 915 box is a hard act to follow, but the seductive curves of the M Coupe’s rear (especially in that near denim blue) have always been in my peripheral vision, kind of like the exotic beauty who you see from afar every once in a while but have never mustered the courage to approach. Well, yesterday I mustered that courage and having waved goodbye to my 911 bought a c.2000 39k M Coupe in Estoril Blue with solid black leather. It’s early days - we’ve only just properly met after all - and it’s taken a few dozen miles to get used to the difference in ride and power delivery, but in the words of Mark Corrigan: ‘I think she might be the one.’ Of course I’m going to keep a bit on the side back in Stutttgart (must be that petit-pois of French DNA somewhere back on my father’s side), a 97 zero-optioned 2.5 Boxster, which is a real hoot, but this diminutive Munich beauty is perhaps the first expensive car I’ve bought for myself where I’ve not had a little shadow of - is it guilt - hanging over me ... hmm, maybe she is the one.

Welcome to the Forum. At last you have seen the "light" and bought a breadvan. Must admit whenever I park up my Coupe I cannot resist a look round at the fantastic looking rear end!!
Doesn't matter what colour you chose they all look great.Pete C

It’s such a different car to the 911, just need to sort the driving position out as I’m used to laying down in cars, and I feel too upright in this, any simple fixes to this, spacers under the front of the seat?
