Uwe, one for you and one for the missus? So, what are you going to do special on the new one? Have you considered the question of Euro5 emission standards on Jan 1, 2012? Will the Green one be registered before that date or is there a way getting around this problem? I know its a lot of questions, but I imagine things are not going to be simpler in the future...

Why not a GTR so you could have a "set".

Is this one going to be electric?

ok engine wise it will be the same, I will try a 997 gear box with cable shift on this one, do not need the top end speed neither the long gear crusing as this will get an aero screen and will be for fun driving around the house in the mountains.
I will try to build as light as possible so maybe can get it to 900kg.
There is some mods, fuel system will be changing, wider seats for my wide ass, no roll bar braces so seats can slide back and still be put closer to the side walls.
Basically it will be very diffcult to register these cars in the future so their value should keep up, see it as a securement of my money but instead of putting into gold I can drive around with it.

Nice idea, but you'll need a good ventilation to get the fumes out and who's going to clean the marks on the floor?

As long as you have no woman in the house it is not a problem. Simply leave as is.


@spatz, congrats! Very nice colour!
