I have Weissgold wheels on my silver blue metallic 928, they look amazing. Will sort a pic out.

In other news, I'm now the proud owner of this. It's being transported to the paint protection people today and I should pick it up back end of next week. Can't wait for my first drive in it!

It does look good! Well done and yeah, it will be 6 very long days. Have you told the kids or are you keeping this as a total surprise?

I loved my old Scooby. STI 5 Type-R v-ltd. Got to 60 in about the same length of time it takes to say its name!

I don't know/understand all the different models but I'd take mine like that please. That blue, gold wheels, 2 door body. It looks spot on in my eyes. <scurries off to classifieds for no good reason>

The kids came to Romans with me and already have christened the car the baked bean

Disgustingly lovely. Expensive compared to other XJs but is 12.75k expensive compared to what people pay for new cars and other trinkets?

Looks good to me - where is the hole?

Ooooh, just the 15k mile, three year gap after it last visited my friends at Camtune (May 2005).

how many £££ would one have to part with to leave the premises with said 964?

What would Sir prefer, a new 991 Turbo plus some tasty options or this 964?

That.

[bungle]

Oh...

Sir doesn't have enough zeros on his salary it seems.

Back to looking at 205s again I think - more my price bracket...

It's had a 500 hour rebuild though so who cares? Anything the service would have addressed will be addressed anyway

Enlighten me?

Excellent work, Mr Heinz!

Best in the world refers to its current state not its history?

It's a stupid claim anyway so not going to argue that much

2 excellent finds.
The Elan looks really nice
And a twin turbo 400i sounds like a great idea!! From a quick read it looks like it's been well done too. Would be great to take for a spin to the South of France.

Probably wouldn't even win a local Porsche club concours meet with a 3 year history gap.
