I really, really, don't believe my luck ?

I just phoned the garage who are carrying out repairs on my car. The conversation went along the line of:

[me] Any update on repair yet

[garage] do you want the good news or the bad news

[me] good news

[garage] well the good news is the new bonnet has arrived..........

the bad news is it has been damaged in transit and a new one is require

[me] f@ck

Another 3 weeks ? I hope not.




Anyone got a number for Porsche

To be fair, I have spoke to TVR & they have said they will sort it out by end of next week, although not sure I believe them.

If true I am sure all will be forgiven, if not I suspect I will be driving a 996 shortly after christmas.

I do love the TVR to bits, but not having it is making me have doubt's about the whole TVR thing.

p.s. If my heart chose the next car it would be a 355GTS although 20,000 miles per year is putting me off as this amount of mileage seem unthought-out in Ferrari terms.

Yours faithfully,
a bit pi$$ed-out,

Mark.

er, s'cuse me but I'm sure I recollect you saying something about "I know Al's getting a Ferrari, not sure why though", a while back

Seriously, the 355 GTS is a belter and sounds phenominal with a Tubi on. I went 348 purely cos I prefer the styling.


You know that comment sounded not in the way it was intended

With regards the 355GTS. Love the car, and as we have 'touched' on before, I am not a fan of full convertibles, but love the 'targa' top kind of cars.

The reason I would be put off buying one is the 15,000 per year I do, which in Ferrari world is unheard of, whereas in the land of Porsche it is not. If only the Tuscan 2 looked as good as the original.
