Currently have a 996, 993 turbo, 928 S4 and looking to grow!

Another car nut — from fours to muscle cars to classics. Based in Brisbane Australia. Working 7 days a week means I make every drive, straight and corner count and enjoy mods too. Picked up my first Porsche in mid AUG 2025 - a MY24 718 GTS 4.0 Manual with PCCB and Full Carbon Bucket Seats. Originally set on a GT4RS, but after driving the RS I realised I could not achieve max enjoyment without tracking it. As for the GTS 4.0 I had little love for it until I drove it — Immediately fell in love and knowing it’s the end of the flat-6 made it even more attractive.

In all honesty this is a car you need to have a little money left over - its quickly burning a hole in my wallet to I'm glad I did not get the GT4RS - Maybe one day.

Purchases / Modes to-date

Zunspot Front Radiator Grille set
QuadLock vent iPhone holder + universal mag mount and mag case
GoPro Hero Camera Front + Rear + Backup Battery Charge Pack
GoPro Hero Outside Suction Car Mount
iCarsoft POR v3 ODB2 Scanner
Full PPF + double up on Track Pack
Piliot Race shoes

Next on the 718 To Do list

Welcome to Carpokes Michael - enjoy your Porsches!

It's definitely easier to get in and out of a Cayenne vs a 718! It would be great to know more about the 718 you had and the current Cayenne Turbo S.

Pics of your cars are highly welcomed on Carpokes and it's easy to post photos too. Here is a link to a helpful guide for that if needed.
