Try again.

Basically looking to buy Ultima GT 5.8 2011 but it's on Mars, I have some questions regards height and driving experience, etc...

If was a basic standard car could go look anywhere and see what I thought but they aren't hence love them but don't want a 12-hour round trip to look and find that I don't fit, or can't actually get down the track to the farm.

Have some questions as well regards, lift kits, reverse cameras, engine in this model and gearbox etc.

But ideally was hoping someone in the northwest could chat to....

Thanks

Stewart

Hello Stewart.
Newbie here also, not in Lancs etc, but Mid Wales...Visiting the RS Factory on the 19th in Hinckley just for the same reason of seeing if this fat butt will fit in one and also hopefully a test drive. I contacted them and they were incredibly helpful and visiting wasn't a problem.

Hey Mark

Saw your post that's awesome, I've reached out to a few clubs and Tim from here replied back to me, at moment dwelling on driveability in the rain and as more a track car is it practical I will get much road time in sunny Lancashire lol.

Was looking to see if adding TC would help or if option, just to give my nerves a rest and enjoy the car on the road. Im not a track driver,

Getting my GTS back on the road soon, great for cruising and sounds awesome but that punchy power love, other option is 996 TT for that rush with uprated turbos and mapped, but the Ultima has been on my want list for ages.

Hi Stewart...
Sorry misconstrued your message, I thought you was looking to buy one and it was to far away..D'oh!
I seriously can't afford one, but I'm not going to let that stop me, I'll find the money so how, I always seem to....
My uncle and I back in the 90's was going to buy one, and do a project together but unfortunately divorce got in the way.
I'm looking for groups or clubs etc, but being I am on absolutely zero social media platforms (albeit here) so I guess old fashioned communication isn't the best for finding things out anymore. But If you have an information etc, I would love to hear from you about that.
