What they cost and what they are worth - 2 different things. Knowing the price of everything.....

Would you lap time at Silverstone be different?

Dont blur the lines MrD.

Last time I checked you could have sports seats on a manual car. Manual being essential for me.

nothing to do with weight, it's the feel and what the car should have.

just buy a normal Cayman if you want PDK and sports seats.

Why buy a R then ruin all the fee bits, very odd. Buckets are £6k ffs
agree, all about the feel.

Funny how everybody has their own requirements isn't it, see for me the lack of the bucket seats on the R would be a deal breaker but PSE doesn't bother me either way.

To each his own I guess...

Right, I'm off to go drive a car on this fine day

What about a car with a driver's bucket seat and an ordinary passenger seat?

And a gear box with the first three gears PDK and the next three manual.

When we move house we redecorate and change kitchen and bathrooms - you can't expect someone to specify a car exactly as you would, so you either compromise or buy new.

White/Peridot/Red/Yellow

PCM & PSE a must

Black Spyder wheels, Buckets, Chrono, Bose, Blue tooth etc would be nice!

Not bothered about PDK or manual.........

I want to buy a car this week!! smile

You have to move quick - contrary to what some people think the decent cars are selling quick.

Pm sent Sarnie. Fingers crossed they have something for you.
I don't work for them but have subcontracted for them and they are sooooo anal about the quality of the second hand cars they have in. They look brand new! It's only the plates that give their age away smile

Replied to you mail, thanks!

I was hoping that maybe a PH'er would be considering selling up some time soon, I'd even hold out till Jan/Feb if the owner didn't want to sell right now!

Hi mate, I was very close to pulling the trigger on the Hollybrook car, took it a good drive yesterday.

After much consideration I've decided to buy another mini gp2 as ive been offered a new unregistered one at the right price, and I had one a couple of years ago and enjoyed it more than any other car I'd owned.

Point is, the white Cayman r is absolutely immaculate. Like impossible to fault. I've bought 3 cars off them in the past and they're 100% to deal with, so if your worried about the car/distance, don't be. It's as good as you could wish for. Pity I can't afford both!!
