No not mine unfortunately but I did have the absolute pleasure in borrowing one for a week.
A good friend let me use it for a family member's wedding who is a huge James Bond fan and to see if face light up when I said I was going to take him to the wedding was fantastic.
This is the first proper car I've used for a period of time as most of my experience has been driving hot hatches and the like, although I am lucky as I do some work for a supercar group so get rides out in some quick stuff all the time. 720S and a 992 Turbo S being the most insane so far.
Driving something like this really had my anxiety levels through the roof, although I was insured fully comp I was nervous about scratching a wheel or picking up a parking ding somewhere so I really understand how people feel when they be a bit cheeky and park over 2 spaces etc (something I didn't do, I just parked at the back of car parks when I needed to).
Performance wise, driving it didn't overwhelm me as much as if I were in the passenger seat but putting your foot down saw your speed increase dramatically into silly figures so again and being the anxious little soul I am saw me just cruise around at 70mph in absolute comfort and that's where I was at my happiest. This is a car that doesn't egg you on to drive daft like a Lambo or McLaren.
I did take some family and friends out for a blast and to see their face light up (or pap themselves) when you put your foot down was hilarious.
Anyway, some pics...
