About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Leith Porsche, where mechanics whisper secrets over coffee, someone once asked: ‘Why does that old man always park in front of the showroom?’ Mechanic Tom leaned back with a grin: ‘He’s not parking there by accident. Turns out he owns half the street!’ Everyone laughed, realizing why no one ever parked in those spots anymore.

2. At Leith Porsche, where mechanics whisper secrets over coffee, one day a delivery driver arrived with an unusual request. He asked the receptionist: 'Can you please hold onto this package for me? It's for Mr. Porsche himself.' Receptionist raised an eyebrow but nodded, curious. Later that evening, as she was leaving, she noticed a small envelope under her desk. Inside was a note: ‘Dear Ms. Smith, thank you for your patience. The package is safely delivered.’ Below was scribbled in pencil: “PS – Don’t tell anyone, it’s from your secret admirer!’

3. At dawn, when most mechanics were brewing coffee, an old neighbor pulled up in an ancient Volkswagen Beetle. He asked the receptionist, 'Can you tell me how much it would cost to turn this into a Leith Porsche?' The receptionist looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing. ‘Sir,’ she said, ‘you can’t just transform any old Beetle into a Leith Porsche—it’s like turning water into wine!’ The old man nodded wisely and drove off, muttering something about persistence being key.

4. At Leith Porsche, where mechanics whisper secrets over coffee, one day a delivery driver asked with a straight face: 'Do you guys ever see ghosts here?' One mechanic leaned in conspiratorially and whispered back, ‘Only when the old German guy in workshop three starts talking to himself.’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly and left, never mentioning it again—until he saw that same mechanic later that week, chatting amiably with an empty toolbox.
