Vic Mate! and the most liveable city on the planet too.
Brad Nah, what ever the rumour - it's all baloney.
Strugs I've said it before - when the doctor added the Targa to his marque, he added cream to the peaches.
A Targa adds an extra dimension to the Porsche experience. I sit in a hard hat coupe and look up at the claustrophobic aperture he called a sun roof ? - I cant wait to escape back into my Targa.
Yup mines my daily driver - company business vehicle and weekend fun runner.
I just love to arrive at the office or a clients with the top down any chance I can.
After work I hit the freeway on a balmy summer evening, taking the long way home, wind in my hair and Diana Krall as my passenger - playing loud over the wind rush. Just the tonic for a hectic day.
Rain doesn't bother me - 80 klm's per hour and it skims straight over the top. Stuck at the lights in a down pour - yeah I look like a dork, but I'm laughing with them,..... and at them when it turns to green.
Leaks in the Targa? what are they? Mines tight as a drum water tight - never used to be but I've cured that with some simple tinkering. The all day bucketing we've had here this winter has proven her dry as a bone. Winter top down cruising is warm as toast if the windows are up, the heat full on and directed to the foot wells. Actually it's more of a concern in the summer - frying your cranium under the sun. Still, a spot a melanoma or two is worth the experience.
BTW - Others here will recommend good advice to never fold the top. I always fold my top - it's what it's designed to do. Before I set off or in transit I stow it into the trunk or rear seat area, in a snap without hesitation. I live to enjoy my Porsche, not to be too concerned about some vinyl wear or creases in the fold areas.
