You can get quite a holiday for £9k.I suppose taking a kid puts up the cost and limits your options.

yeah, but. If you want a bespoke safari. Including two beach side luxury hotels and several days in the bush, plus the 8 flights needed to get aboutthen it'll cost more.
I can think of nothing worse than being locked in an all inclusive super hotel for two weeks.

OK, valid pointbut if you don't want a twat-wagon why buy a Porsche at all? it's not like the 944 is anything other than much worse than at least 4 RWD sportscars I could name off the top of my head that you could buy for the same money.
Or if you really must have the cuntbadge, get a 928.

Because I genuinely like the 944 as a car.It's good-looking, quick if you get the right one, rear-wheel drive, handles superbly.
According to various reviewers, it's one of the best handling cars ever built, let alone Porsches.

and they are quite quick too. What's your point?8.5 to 60 is on the quicker side of things for a car.
Dolomite Sprint wasn't a sports car. It was a 4 door saloon. So the resonable comparison is to a warm hatch of today. And that's where it is.
