9934s off to storage. New toy please ???
Discussion
My 9934s has just had body work carried out to make it pristine. 60000 miles two owners etc etc
With prices rising to silly levels it's going into storage for 9 months
I know it's odd but I can't have it out without proper protection
That leaves me a "toy" short
So ....
E60 M5
S65 AMG
CL 63 AMG
Audi S8
You get the drift. Something large to cruise in as I do a weekly 200 mile round trip
Thoughts ???
I'm stuck
Or complete opposite and a MX5 !!!

If you fancy something a little left field. Go buy a Challenger or Charger Hellcat. You will grin from ear to ear. A breath of fresh air from all the boring euro boxes. A big plus if you get bored of 640bhp at the rear wheels £2500 gets you 800bhp at the rear, that is over 900bhp at the crank 
MX5.
E30 325i Sport
E36 M3
Audi A2 diesel 1.4
Audi RS2
Ford Puma 1.7 16v
or if you've never had a 90s 4WD 'Rally' car
Integrale
Impreza
......endless old interesting analogue cars out there
But why not drive the 993? What a waste - on saturday I put two crickets bags in the front of mine, two offspring in the seats, and on arrival at the match parked it on the field, facing the game, 20 feet outside the boundary, with the bonnet up.
I had a few chats with admiring parents, and lots of grins from the kids when I started it up....

I know that ...............but I don't have any garage space to keep it under cover as that's taken by my 991 GT3
So I'm forced to sacrifice driving for the good of the car
I'll bring it back out in March time
But it's a great great car
Just can't find a local garage with power to store it locally

Might need a fuel tanker in tow compared to some euro cars, but gets my vote. I never got bored of that v8 sound and acceleration from the stingray I hired in Atlanta.Not sure why the OP is mothballing one toy and then requires another toy for the one in storage, especially given its summer - not withstanding the rain. I assume this is man maths thing

I'd try to sell the C4S now if I were you. Market is on its back at the moment...and that scuttle repair will likely bubble through in 6 months...
Sell the 4s ???Never ever
Had it for 15 years
I'll die first !

Totally man maths !!
Just that the 993 has low miles + complete history so worth almost as much as a Reliant Robin as suggested !

Makes a lot of sense. Take your longterm owned car that you have just spent money on making nice, put it in storage to preserve it precious low mileage and complete history(yipee!) for the next owner as you don't intend to sell it unless you die.Never ever

Clearly not understanding man maths - collect as many garage toys as possible as 'investments' for OH consumption - hopefully driven some of them - then die (and pay taxes) 
Ok
Some don't understand my logic
I've had the car for 15 years from 16000 miles
I'm able to buy other cars to enjoy
But I don't have space for the 4S so I'm happy to store it for 9 months then bring it back out and put another one in storage
It can't sit outside - end of debate
I find it odd that that decision is criticised
Hey ho
