Surely you only need to see out of the front anyway?

Suffice it to say I am not a "ditherer" as some of the folk on this here forum hahahahahahaha

I moved back to the UK on 18th July. By 25th July I had two cars bought, taxed, insured and sitting on the driveway.

Can't see why some find it so hard to make their minds up.

Job, visa, money, wife, baby, health. Add to that that I know next to nothing about cars and have been burnt several times before results in 10's of thousands of pounds down the drain, I am cautious...perhaps overly so.

I won't mention it again.

did you take the integral home?

[Harris_I]

Yep, it's just arrived along with the GT3. Lancia about to get registered, Porsche is proving a pain as it has to be IVA'd.

Parts cheap and easy from the uk just need somewhere to fix, then a tow car a trailer so could be an expensive cheap car

Hey guys, got a friend in Qatar that, after driving my Z06 is determined to get something faster 0-100kph in 3.7s(budget is 365,000max)...must have warrenty and be hopefully extendable. My immediate 2 thoughts were a GTR (impressive but a bit souless) and a 997 Turbo (awesome..but crippling running costs?). Has any one any other ideas? Links not required.

r8, f430 or gallardo + independent warranty.

As a side note my Pistonheads stickers arrived! YAY!

where do you want to start? it's a 72 car with a 993-esque bodykit. buying it would be akin to burning a pile of 1000 dirham notes unless the bare bones and mecanicals were tip top. the owner needs to be shot for crimes against good taste.
