how can you warranty that?

I drove one a few years back; nasty inside, nasty gearbox and felt like it took a second or two (well, long enough to tighten your bot bot) for the suspension to settle going through fast sweepers, did not like

Ric, That is a lot more than I was offered the Blue beast for.

Vic mentioned that's what the current owner wants for it, who am I to argue?!?!

Wasn't the Orange GT2 used for a 911 and Porsche World magazine feature a couple of years back ??

I know!

I'm being silly. I'll make my mind up when I get the invoice for this job, and see how I feel then.

After the bill has been paid, stick the car in the garage for a couple of weeks and try to forget about it. Wait until the next fine, sunny Sunday morning is in the weather forecast and then go take the car for an early morning drive on some scenic, fun roads.

This will be the first step in rebuilding trust and will ultimately lead to a long and rewarding relationship!

No, miss interpretation.....I meant 6 years ago when the blue car was for sale....Who knew they would more than double? )

Indeed, if I'd have known I'd have had the silver GT2 off Thomas plus Graeme's midnight blue car and anything lurking in the back of mr mclean's garage too.

It is not normal for a 19 year old to obsess about Audi Estates

I think you need to keep the 911 at the back of the garage for a while, and buy a cheap snotter that won't go wrong. Troll around in that until the recent pork pain goes away

This could be handy.

Perfectly normal

RS2s seem to have shifted ever so slightly in the past couple of years, some dipping below £10k whereas you'd have struggled to get one for less than £15k a short while back (I'm sure jeremyc knows more on the matter)

What I don't get is how is a 200k mile S2 worth £3k when a BiTurbo S4 is only a grand more (if that)? Been annoying me for an age; when I was hunting for a quick but cheapish workhorse estate I really wanted an S2 Avant but felt £3k was a little much for something so miley (cyrus)

Oh yes, proper 996, remember seeing Slippydiff's on a charge in North Wales once

I think we covered this before but are these as bad as I think they might be?



Seem to recall that they're pretty ruinous
