I've been lucky enough to own a few fast-ish or at least sporty-ish cars in the past, a Volvo T5R, a Sierra Saphire Cosworth, a Golf Gti 16v and of course the Westfield. But I've never had anything super quick like a Porsche.
I have had the opportunity to drive a couple of 911s, and a Panamera that belonged to friends, and naturally, they were lovely.
The thought of buying one and growing old disgracefully does hold a certain appeal I suppose, but in some ways, I'm just as happy with cars that aren't suitable for Oulton Park, but that please in other ways.
Wringing the best out of my son's Aygo on the country lanes can be huge fun for example, without the sorts of speeds that would lead to danger to life, limb or licence.
I think I probably get my adrenalin rushes on my mountain bikes these days.
But, as I said, I do get where you're coming from.
