Got my Goodwood fellowship membership, it did allow me to buy more than one 76th MM ticket - going Saturday with father on the Saturday.

Starting to dial up the search for my first 911 as a second car - by god it’s pulling me inside out to determine what and how I will land on the right answer!!

There is no perfect answer so just buy one. I went for an early 996 because they're the best .... or the cheapest. Whichever story you prefer.

So, I've mentioned this many times but it is getting more and more appealing. Lose the silly roundels and I'm in....

It gets too deep, but it was always the poster car as a child, then the car I promised myself if I had the means, and I’ve not done it primarily to prevaricating too often - but then it will be a big deal to me.

I want to buy something to bond with, but as it’s only a toy it needs to have a balance of value and not a big loss if my house of cards were to fall.

It will either be a 997.1 C2S or C4S but MUST have had Hartech full build, or a .2.

BUT it could also be a 993 or a 997 turbo!

Purchase price is pretty open, and I don’t mind maintenance costs, but I want it to work, be ok not been used, but most importantly to stir the soul.

Given my daily is a Diesel T5.1 Transporter I think they will all feel special.

Has to be manual, I think my heart would like 993, right choice is probably 997.2, as .1 full rebuilds at the right price are few and far between.
