Just got this:


To go with this:


Fitted a stainless Dansk exhaust to the 911, loads of low down rumble and howls like a banshee at the top end biggrin
Both Lovely, how do they compare?
As you'd expect....chalk and cheese!

The 458 is simply totally and utterly awesome on the road. Acceleration, grip, noise, feel are all off the scale biggrin

The 911 initially feels slow and ponderous in direct comparison, but after you've strung a few bends together it just flows and comes alive.....just love older Porsches.

Drove both this afternoon, the 911 for the first time since Xmas. Was thinking about selling but I don't think I could now hehe

Cool, I love my 458, I've n very really got 911s if I'm honest, really should try one properly I guess.

Enjoy

Looks like you're not too far from me....do you go on any of the PH runs or Ferrari OC meets?

I'll swap the 911 for an FF for a few hours quite happily hehe

The mini is my weekend fun car and the Panda 100HP is my daily fun car. The mini was off the road for three years while I was rebuilding the engine, which was greatly delayed by university and being away every holiday, but it's so much fun to have her back.

We are on our second Panda 100HP - great little cars!

Howdy, I think you drive past me a few mornings a week while walking my collie along the Costock road into East Leake?

I've just got another collie pup so am currently driving over there until his road manners are a little less suicidal -



Seems to be plenty of M fans in this neck of the woods, I regularly see a silverstone M4, silverstone M3, lemans blue E39 M5, black F10 M5, tiag Z4MR and D5 Alpina on the morning stroll.

Since I last posted on here I've changed two of my cars.

The Alpina has gone and been replaced thus -

That'll be the wife driving the M3 on her way to work - too early in the morning for me to be out!

Nice looking dog smile

You local?
Can't say I've seen your car around (not like there's many of those - although my dentist in Keyworth used to have a black one. Now has an Alpina D5)

Thanks, he's going to be a handsome lad when he grows up.

I've only recently moved back up to the area after a few years in Cambridge, I'm in Costock where the red lion used to be. The M5's getting long in the tooth but to be honest there's not much else I'd consider swapping it for, I've recently looked at a new C63 estate and RS6 but the man maths just don't stack up anymore as I get older.
