Right folks. Is keeping a Porsche history important or next month when I'm due a service, would I be better off with Fearnsport or 9e etc?

Any recommendations , places to avoid?

Did you notice how few cars are for sale in Germany (@mobile.de where sellers from other continental European countries also advertise) right now.
If you exclude track cars and modded Turbos, there is only a couple.

yes most seem to have vanished over the winter.
the yellow one had a price increase from 60k to 65k

If it's got full OPC history I'd stick with it.
Financially there's no difference anymore, but any remedial work I'd have done by a good indie.
9e all day long.

cannot afford 997-996 GT3 or 991 so as i will retire back to UK sometime god willing in 3-4years looking at purchasing the Shelby GT350R version of the Shelby GT350, this will be a lightweight version of the GT350 and more track orientated.
Carbon fibre wheels, flat plane crank and some tasty suspension good alternative to a GT3/2
make a good stable mate for the GT2 and SCR 500Griff.
another bonus is i will not be subject to VAT or any duty. downside is a may struggle to get right hand drive but will be able to convert to right hand drive in UK without to much spoiling of the car as the standard GT Mustang is being manufactured in right hand version.
cost i estimate around 55k

Did 200 miles this weekend. One day in the rain and today in the glorious sunshine. What a difference new suspension and Geo has made. Even in the wet I was driving it quicker than previously in the dry. It's predictable, has a lovely balance and the grip from the rear in the dry is incredible.
Widow maker? It's a pussy cat.

I told you smile It gets to me when people slate these cars and say Porsche got it wrong and there all looks and no handling.

Glad your enjoying.

Thanks. Yes detailed it myself with the help of a good friend, otherwise you can't detail two cars in a weekend.

Also it's his workshop i'm using.

Haha right, this is just a small part of the building where he stores his cars (taxi).
We had a photoshoot for a magazin with just aircooled cars.
