911 for 430bhp E92 M3? Bank holiday swap?

[tomvcarter]

Hi, just wondering if any one is keen to do a car swap for the bank holiday weekend?
I have a Black BMW E92 M3 (see profile) with Eisenmann Exhaust (c430 bhp) but was wondering if anyone wants to do a swap for the bank holiday weekend?

All it would involve would be insuring each other on the car and handing over the keys for a few days...
Let me know if you have are interested? (Cars of £35,000 and above only please...)
Thanks Tom

Intersting thread, however doubt you'll get any action.

Would you not want to propose a mileage cap - are you comfortable with someone else potentially caning your car from cold, tracking it, launching it, taking off a few mm of rubber, bouncing it off the rev-limiter..... etc etc

I assume you're quite a trusting type of bloke ?!!

I read it and thought - Wind up? People would use your car with the same respect as a hire car.

What if you find a scuff or slight kerbage that wasnt there before - but you are told 'it wasnt me'

What didn't you like about it?

[tomvcarter]

I was being serious... If thought I would hammer out the details if anyone is interested.
I'm a lawyer so can put together a contract.

Got to be a wind up. Having owned a E92 M3 myself before I could get shut of it, I would have done most things to get rid.

and you bought a 997... Ugly and crap

Maybe its not such a good idea then...

Just curious you had an LP640 and now have an M3 and where did the £35K figure come from?

35k is what i recon the car is worth now, and there is not much else that i would be keen to drive worth less....

Well i rented a Lambo for a week when i got married... thought that could go in my prev cars. Proper monster.

Fair play, Tom, don't let the cynics grind you down. But it is a scenario prone to problems as has been mentioned. You'd spend more time writing the contract than driving the swapper if you wanted it to be genuinely watertight and unless it's a company car or in warranty there is a mechanical risk that many wouldn't like to take. I've paid for two engine rebuilds in my meagre car ownership career, and neither has been quick, cheap or fun

I reckon it would be cheaper to rent a 997 than work out the insurance package and the hassle..

Yet you post this on a Porsche Forum?

Interesting thought process...

[bergmeister]

A 997 ugly,how can you say that driving a lambo!!

[red_slr]

Really, I would rather lend you my fiancée for the weekend.

In fact, I would be interested in some kind of trade in deal if you want.....
