The badge

Porsche keeps winning the argument.

4 Porsches of 13 — 31% of everything owned.

The engine

A taste for big engines.

2 cars of 13 with eight cylinders or more; the Porsche Cayenne has 8.

The direction

Smaller engines, more power.

The first 4 averaged 3.1L and 262 hp; the last 4, 2.3L and 326.

The colour

Not a colour in sight.

Of the 13 whose colour the photographs will say, every one is black, white or grey. Nobody here has ever ticked the box for paint.

The drive

3 at once, in 2018.

Counted from the years each car was owned — that is the fullest the garage has been.

The pace

4.6 seconds to 100.

The BMW 6 Series is the quickest thing in the garage.

The era

Built in the 2010s, mostly.

11 cars of 13 left the factory between 2010 and 2019.

The habit

Nothing stays long.

11 cars sold on, 1.2 years each on average. Longest: Infiniti FX, 3 years.
