One thing all of us have in common is a rough idea of how we'd spend lottery winnings. For car guys like the team here at Tuthill Porsche in Wardington, Oxfordshire, canteen lottery banter always comes down to a top five "Cars I'd put in my Garage".
Though some of the finest Porsche cars on the planet have been through the Tuthill workshops at one time or another, our team are men of simple tastes. Most would pick a WRC Impreza or similar as a techno-laden rally toy, and most would have a works van/motorhome, for travelling to events and family weekends with the kids. Most would have a classic race or rally 911: maybe one of the Rothmans SC RS cars we made our name on. After that, things get a little trickier.
As said, we're men of simple pleasures: Richard drives a Skoda Fabia estate and the guys who get their hands dirty like Volkswagen and Audi machinery. For those who insist on quality first and foremost, what better everyday lottery cars than these two: A Porsche 996 Carrera 4S and an Audi Allroad 2.5 TDi Quattro?
The attractive widebody Porsche offers the perfect blend of reliability, comfort and driver enjoyment, and the 4wd gives it the confidence to go out in conditions. The Allroad is beautifully built and again great to drive: perhaps the perfect car for the weekly shop one day, and transporting mountain bikes to the top of a downhill run for high-adrenaline fun the next.
Both cars are currently in with us for servicing, and there's no doubt that both would be contenders on any sensible lottery list. But with our service workshop rates of just £55 an hour, you don't have to be a lottery winner to bring your car to us for regular maintenance. Call us now on 01295 750 514 to find out more.
