Hi again!

Are you seriously looking for another one?

A friend (dealer) has just bought a white one (cage NO Ti) white, 7.5k miles, front AP upgrade, kept in a Carcoon!

Any good to you?

Not that mad, both Laurasotherhalf and I have both had CSLs, if you still love the CSL try to have both, pull that off and you will have a fantastic trio of cars!

They would all be so different from each other yet all of them will be special in a similar way, I.E no slack, nothing extra than is needed to make driving as enjoyable as it can be!

The car my friend has for sale has been described as "out of the box" / "never seen rain" etc!

Thats the problem, I love the CSL. It never fails excite even after jumping out of the RS. I couldn't justify keeping it though. I dont have the time to drive (or the space tbh) 2 never mind a 3rd daft toy.

Mine had Ti exhaust (No. 20 iirc) so if I got another it would have to have Ti. I fancy Lunar Grey next.

I loved everything about my CSL except the gearbox, the shape seemed perfectly proportioned, the build and finish, the use of materials including the mixture of interior textures, the sound, the steering / turn in etc

After the initial novelty of the gearbox I started to have doubts and doubt turned to irritation which then became too much to live with and it had to go!

I honestly thought my Z3MC was quicker in a straight line but apart from that the Z3MC wasn't a cross country "drivers car" at all!

I'm gutted that you can't have all 3 but completely sympathise, I want either another Integrale, a 993 or a classic American car but have no garage so particularly with the Italian and American options I think I'd be mad to keep them outside all year!

I can say this because you don't have one again yet but aside from the weight saving I was really disappointed by the Ti exhaust, I kind of like the funny whistling sound of the regular one and was expecting all kinds of pops and bangs from the Ti which never happened!

Hi don, over in Europe this week but back in the uk tomorrow, your profile doesn't allow emails but if you want to email me I can give you my details to pass on to the dealer in question.

I'd prefer ti exhaust but if the car is right, it can be added at a later date

Hi, sorry about the stalking, when you said you wanted one to KEEP I thought of you, you can mail him directly at Jon@xtreme-uk.net if you like, his description to me was that it looks like it's done 2k miles! It's not a bottom end car! (Ooh err) (I've bought several cars from him)
