Weekend - Porsche
Television (Excerpts) – 1984

Not long ago, whole years went by in which there were no new Porsches sold in New Zealand; these days the importers can’t keep up with demand.– Neil Roberts
Mind you Porsches are people’s cars too, it’s just that the people are usually a bit wealthier.– Reporter Neil Roberts muses on the difference between Porsche and Volkswagen
