The official one is the Bentley State Limousine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bentley_State_Limousine) and the fleet includes several other cars including a custom made Range Rover and a Jag (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_state_car#United_Kingdom).
The Prime Minister's official car is a Jag XJ.
Huh.. well look at that. In that case I retract my statement that she cannot drive anymore.
EDIT: She does barely see over the steering wheel though. Along with the hoodie and the big Rover, all she needs to do is sling the front seat back behind the B pillar and she'll be rolling 'kasi style

I would expect number 10 to offer a Jag XJ... the queen is a bit of a hybrid, so she would have lots of toys.. Indian, German, etc...

I think MI5 drive Vauxhalls ...theyre Domestic securities.So does MI5 like only Aston Martins or is this in the Bond movies only?
SIS used to be MI6 (Bond)

Would do but it's a bit of a drive and I'm lazy as hell. Also, waiting for the 716

Sorry, 718. For some reason I keep forgetting the damn number.

How about a little write up on the Porsche experience at the showroom?

It was busy at the showroom. Lots of dads with their sons drooling at the cars.
I had my wife and 2 daughters who seemed more excited than me!
Had a young enthusiastic preowned sales guy who was juggling between me and another customer.
Had some yummy cappuccino (pic above) whilst waiting.
Firstly drove the cayman s. Nice car with good power and handling. Family didn't like it as they couldn't sit in.
So we looked at the Carrera. Only the 's' was available to test drive....bad idea ...the car was wild. Has the sports exhaust that roared.
Kids 12 & 7 sat comfortably in the back surprisingly.
The wifey drove it after me..told the salesguy he must convince me to buy that car...and the kids agreed.
Now...what to do??

Buy the carerra and don't look back. Life is too short to have regrets.
If wife says buy it, you buy it.
Enjoy and post a pic when u take delivery.
Personally I would go for a m4 or if I had more money jag x-type or Aston Martin but that's just me. But when I drove in my friends fathers carrera it was a very fun experience so I don't think you will be upset if you get that.
