Just watched your new 981 Boxster vid.... good stuff

Sounded good too!

However what do you reckon between a £30k V8 Vantage 4.3 and something like the boxster, or more appropriately in this case a 981 Cayman..... where would your £30k+ go if running costs were a mere man-maths session away from being irrelevant? Would a 997.1 feature as a third option? Talking smiles per mile here....

Interested to hear after seeing your extensive experience of each!

I'd be tempted by a TVR at that money...

Problem with the £30k Vantage is last year it was a £20k Vantage and I can see them going back to being that

This is the worry... and probably the reality, at least I hope so maybe patience is in order.

Tuscan does appeal..... £40ish for a good one though!!

Sat and watched a few videos last night which I haven't done in a while.
Really like Shmee's SF90 spec, think the interior will look especially nice.
Can't say I'm too convinced about his plans for the garage though.. maybe it's just the way I'm visualising it but the racing grid on the floor and Nordschleife mural on the back wall just sounds a bit too busy to me.

Another great weekends vlog from Dan at Brands. I'm not entirely sure how the whole patreon thing works and whether it's visible to all yet? Either way, it's well worth watching if you get the chance.

I am utterly obsessed with the TVR 400/450 SE wedges. They were the first modern, V8 brute TVR I ever saw on the roads as a teenager, back in the late 80’s, when my barely silenced XR2 was, suddenly, not the loudest thing in town.

Despite owning a couple of Griffiths, the 400SE itch remains.

Boys, I do believe we’re in the matrix.

Custard?

I’ll buy a packet on way to collection tomorrow but it’s going to be tough to eat because there is no spoon.

Get a ready made tub and drink it.

Congrats on the car. 458's are special cars imo.

I think there's a glitch in yours.

Yep.

I'm on page 458 too, difference is down to page length in your forum settings.

Congrats, we definitely need a custard picture.

Referring back to the case history, Plato vs. Some Tit on Pistonheads, the rules are simple; it can be any type of custard receptacle - packet, tin, carton - but you need a photo of the car, with the custard container placed upon it. Those are the rules, I don't make them up.

I thought it was in the car, to stop people putting said custard on any car they come across?

I'm watching the Number 27 vid where he is getting the lowdown on an electric conversion on his Fez.

1:00 "ooh I could be interested in this for the VX220"

7:00 "70K+ - ok, I'll stick with the Z22SE"!

Good point, but I am sure that's a later revision.

It would be better if actually got on with it, endless videos on the plans but no action.

He has done nothing with place in the time since he moved in.

Not convinced that it is not going to end a mess full of ebay tat to be honest.

If you were pouring all of that cash into a unit like that, wouldn't you want it at your house? (ala Harry)

To be fair, have you tried getting large steelworks sorted recently? The office and mezzanine metal/glass work was ordered months ago, but there’s a huge delay. That needs to be in before the rest can really take shape.

Not defending (nothing to defend, is there?), just giving a factual reply. I asked Tim the same question last week. That was his reply.

I think it’s pretty fair to be honest. My business is road haulage and it is as bad as I can remember at the moment.

Maaate, you need to get out more maybe.
