911 GT3s are expensive (997)

While they seem to hold their value it doesn't appeal to stash that much cash in a car atm. I still think an Exige is the most attractive next step but not while I'm commuting probably (though the S has done that in the past no bother)

I do like that colour Rog... For a 2 yr old 400bhp car with all the toys these things are a steal atm IMO

 

Done stole Pensioner Orange Sh*t Hot (POSH)

Comes with Competition pack/Electronic Damper Control, bags of bling, Harman Kardon speakers. Who needs a TV?

For your S, I see that Haroon (The Loon) is already parting out my former beast. Bloody vulture

Is there room in the garage for an Exige as well? You really need to test drive.

Getting in and out will severely affect increasing your family

 

That's a +ve
I want no more kids

New beastie sounds ace.

I thought that was your old motor

 

here you go Rog.. turbo generation



i liked it. i raced it. it was close, i was on foot

 

Ever upwards Jason. Lean burn etc etc

I am stuck in the V8 time warp loving the sound and this is my run out car You were just out on a run

 

Can you believe first service today?

Costs so far

Insurance £750 then £400
Kidney Grilles £80
Belt & Inspection £240
Warranty £630 (first year in the AUC price)
Tyres £630
Wheel refurb £180
Gearknob £70
Tinting £50
Tax £490 x2 now
OEM modded exhaust £260
Service £350 + oil (£94)
2 x MOT £100 - no issues

I think its worth £20-22k now (guess)

Its bloody thirsty. I think the box has eased up (or i got used to it), the engine feels free-er now at 25k and is a work of art imho

Came close to selling it a few months ago but in an about turn i wouldnt now. Does everything but still a great turn of speed and very friendly handling. It might be a keeper for some time yet.

 

well, some twunt has clipped the car while parked at the station, down to the metal on the door crease, i'm guessing a door has been rammed hard onto it

there is cctv

i've reported it to the fuzz

f@#king seething at the minute, the way things are going i really do feel like if this person is caught they could get on my bad side

 

that's a bugger

but a smart repairer should be able to fix it - based on personal a personal recommendation only

is it solid paint?

could have been a door caught by the wind

nearly lost one of mine today

ps why are you wearing flares?

 

ha ha, shape of the door, i'm wearing jeans.

i'm not sure though, i'm pretty picky about this stuff. lets see what the station staff have to say

I'm determined to get a crime no off the useless cops who keep nicking me for speeding but doing things like putting 2 cones round a raised manhole (which i fixed by lifting up and putting back in the hole)..

 

Not dissimilar to my station car park souvenir. Done in just the 25 minutes I was meeting some people off the train at Norwich. Mine is a 7-8" gouge to the metal (complete with dent) behind driver's door with a parallel mark on the edge of the body skirt. Station CCTV was switched off (must be the same people who run Trent Bridge). Excess is £900 and hoping my village garage can do for not a lot more. Won't be to BMW standards but as this is likely my last car of consequence I ain't worried about residuals. I feel your pain Nottm. Why is this only a curse of decent looking well kept cars
