That looks utterly mental. I love it. Same sort of colour as my old R5 as well

I have recently come across £100 from work, and being only 15, I am sure I will be able to spend it on some useless and really unnecessary things.. Will report back at the end of the week

Rear engined R5   Superbly frivilous. I bought a 944 Turbo last week, despite owning an early 944, a 924S and a 2.7l 944 already.

spoiler for quantum leap indeed - that was very sad, and did make you think "oh  ". he did actually get home once, didn't he? But had to go again to save someone, I forget the specifics

Will report back at the end of the week Make sure it's utterly frivolous. You'll know you've succeeded as when you present it to your parents you should be grounded for at least a week.

Spur of the moment 944 purchases frequently end in tears though, so best avoided unless youre an experienced owner. Unfortunately theyre cheap now and frequently bought with an MOT and then abandoned when they need work for their next test.

TBH, i don't even want it. The eBay app on my phone is a dangerous thing. I was outbid with a couple of hours to go and left it. Mechanicals and chassis work is fine by me, but I'm a bit crap at bodywork, so figured that was a decent looking cheap shell.

Matt Harper said: DoubleSix said: Quite. A bullet is effective enough as it is. Sorry, just don't like the glorification or 'pride' people take in weaponry. If it's a necessary evil due to living in a dangerous environment then so be it, but the pleasure side leaves me a little cold. I'm sure folk will say the hollow points reduce the risk of total penetration and ricochet, but it's not something I'd be 'bigging up' online personally. I fully understand your sentiment - but would also remind you that the subject of the thread is around "stuff you don't need". I'm unsure if the comment about glorification of firemarms is directed at me, but that was certainly not my intent. My intent was to share my potentially unjustifiable purchase of stuff I don't need. I am far from unique in being a British expatriot who got into gun ownership, not because I needed to, but because I was able to. I live in an environment where firearms ownership, both legal and otherwise, is quite prevalent. Were I to find myself in a confrontational situation (heaven forefend) there is a good chance that the other party will be tooled-up, so I see this as a precautionary leveling of the playing-field, so to speak. I'm worried that I've come across as some kind of red-necked militia-member - I assure you that is not the case. My comment about giving the Xd to my daughter should also have contained the caveat that she is a police officer, not a schoolgirl. Hollow points reduce the risk of penetration and ricochet. Sorry. Accurate though. eidt fro splelign.
