In today’s PorscheCooled Podcast Michael presents episode 46 of owner stories with Marco from Sydney, Australia. Marco is a car enthusiast and a name you would have heard thrown about the podcast. Growing up Marco wasn’t exposed to Porsches, it was mainly Aussie cars – Fords and Holdens. As Marco explains ‘Porsche snuck its way into his life through Matchbox.’ A 911 cabriolet matchbox that Marco still has. His first car was a hand me down Ford laser, a car Marco loved and a car that taught him ‘Whatever you have take pride in and love.’ When it came to buy his first real and exciting car Marco overlooked the Japanese “fast and Furious’ trend at the time as he really loved German cars. This was the beginning for Marco. He purchased a VW MKIV Golf, a new car at the time. This was the start of his VW and air-cooled journey.

Although Marco always thought his first Porsche would be an ‘80s air-cooled he end up with a 2012 Cayenne S. This Porsche was more about family priorities. Mid last year Marco decided that the time was right for a 911. Marco loves the 993 generation 911, but turned down a 993 cabriolet. Nonetheless, Marco ended up with something very special. A well looked after, low mileage example of the 996.1 generation Porsche 911 turbo in iconic speed yellow. As soon as Marco saw it, he knew he couldn’t walk away from this one.
