In today’s PorscheCooled Podcast Michael presents episode 63 of owner stories with Amir from Brunei. In the late 80’ s when Amir was around 9 years old, he vividly remembers one of the kids at his school being picked up in a black 911 with a whale tail. Amir didn’t really know what it was at the time, but he like it. This was Amir’s first memory of noticing a Porsche. The second, at 15, was when a pilot visited his school for Careers Day. The pilot arrived at the school in his black Porsche 911. Full circle, this is Someone who Amir would later connect with and become friends. After this talk (and seeing the pilot arrive in his 911) Amir knew what he wanted to achieve. Amir says he wasn’t a ‘car geek’ he just wanted a car, and he wanted a nice one. Amir’s cars along the way to his first Porsche included Audi’s VW’s and what Amir calls his ‘airport cars.’ The first car which started putting him in the direction of the Porsche 911 was his Mazda MX5 or Miata, a fun and popular sports car. Although a successful airline captain flying Boeing 787’s Amir was sensible, and his Porsches came later in life. His first Porsche in 2013 was a 2008 987 Cayman S. After a couple of years of ownership Amir wanted to get a 911. His first 911 was a 2013 991 Carrera 2. Amir hasn’t stopped there. His currently owns a Porsche 997.2 C2 in in a unique colour. Amir things the 991 was a better car but the 997 is a better Porsche and suits him perfectly.  Welcome back to the PorscheCooled Podcast Follow Amir on Insta @neunelfer_ Michael (@michael.bath) owns a first generation 997 Carrera, comes from Australia and currently resides in Bahrain.
