Remember last year in October David Beckham bought a Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet? Now is Victoria’s turn: she paid £100,000 for a custom-made Porsche Carerra just like hubby David’s - but with her initials on the hubcaps and headrests.
She was seen two days ago while she was leaving a gymnastics class with sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz in LA.
But even she had a great time in LA, London is where she wants to be: "They are coming back and London will be home. They already have Beckingham Palace in Hertfordshire but (Victoria) wants to be closer to the hub of London. Victoria loves America. She enjoys the company of Tom and Katie Cruise and other A-list pals. But she is excited about the long-term future and London will play a huge part in that."
Porsche received today the award "Best Automobile in the World" in the Cabriolet category for the Porsche 911. The Carrera was chosen as best Cabrio in the world by almost 95,000 readers of the German magazine Auto Motor Und Sport. In the same category were 49 other cabriolets, roadsters and spiders.

Richard Westbrook (Great Britain) is the winner of the eighth round of the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup on the Hungaroring.
