In today’s PorscheCooled Podcast Michael presents episode 59 of owner stories with Mathieu from London in the UK. Mathieu has been into cars from an early age, not always Porsches but his passion for cars has always been there. Mathieu’s first car was a Ford KA, very different from the Porsche he drives today. So where did it all begin? Mathieu recalls a 996 turbo as an early memory, a time when he first really looked at the brand. A drive day with his brother turned into an opportunity to drive and experience a Porsche 911 for the first time. This was the turning point for Mathieu.
Mathieu’s journey to his first Porsche was a progression. There was a MGF and BMW along the way. As Mathieu says, he ‘always knew where he wanted to go it was about finding a way to get there’. Well, Mathieu did get there and realised his Porsche passion with a 986 Boxster. As Mathieu explains, this was not a 911 stop gap, but a car he really wanted and loved driving. A Mini Cooper S followed then came Mathieu’s first Porsche 911, a 1998 996 generation Carrera 2. It doesn’t end there. Mathieu’s followed the 996 with his first 997, a 2006 Carrera 2, a car he regrets selling. So much so he purchased another one this year, a Midnight Blue 2005 997.1 C2 in manual.
