I sold my weekender (Porsche 968 Cab) and am now on the hunt for another fun 'head turning' weekend car. This time I want a four seater so my wife and 4 year old can ride at the same time.
I have long loved the 840 and 850 series and now have the garage space for a third car. Anyone out there have good experience with the 8 Series? I'm not so concerned with the HP of the V12 850, so I'm leaning towards an 840 because the engine seems a bit more bullet proof. I'm pretty mechanically inclined to keep up with the mainenance and minor repairs, but still do not want a car that is more overhead and headache than enjoymnet. Anyone with good insight on if the 8 series would fit the bill?
