I think you need something with plenty of headroom because your quite tall and there needs to be room for your misses thumb as well seen as you seem stuck under it at the minute :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Pork.

Just try hanging on a while longer, as the prices are going to be hit with all the trade ins come October. That's what I'm waiting for.  :happy2:

Chatting to a Porsche UK Employee today (not salesman) he reckons Porsche have diverted a lot of UK new imports to other countries as the New car scene has slumped somewhat in the UK. 

He reckons good second-hand Porkers are getting few and far between, and thinks prices will go up instead of down later this year when the trade-ins hit.

I'd heard something along those lines but then others saying it was poop - I guess it just remains to be seen and fingers crossed it works in my favour.

Luckily the new clutter will do me fine for hacking around in for now whilst I watch.
Sideways yo!

I'm still curious as to what the problem with the car was. Complete and total loss of electrical power...

...loose battery cable?  :evilgrin:



Actually, joking aside, there was an issue in the US when the new Camaro came out. The battery for the Camaro was in the boot and GM had chosen a poor routing for the cable to the front of the car - the positive cable was very close to the starter motor and could rub. There were at least three occasions where the cable got worn through, creating a short, resulting in complete loss of electrical power and drive to the car. In one instance IIRC there was a fire as well. This was all within the first two weeks of the car's release! There was a recall and the cables were re-routed adequately. But this sort of thing does happen.

Some good suggestions and some dick head ones from that chav from Lancaster  :fighting:

I had a good snoot round an S5 the other day but I reckon a 4.2 V8 would be a little heavy on loopy juice for me, the M3 looks nice and I would have one in a heart beat but again 4.2 V8 and 500 miles a week don't mix!  :grin:

Golf R is deffo out of the question as I have had on for the past year with an Audi badge on  :popcornsoda:

I hav thought about going back to an ED30, saving some money on the purchase of the car and blowing the rest on some mods to make it a proper track weapon. Another thought I have had is to get a cheap run around and wait to see if/when the RS3 is released. As you can probably tell my head is all over the place, i just don't know what to do  :scared:

I think I need to go on some test drives. I have found a nice white 135i with some BMW performance mods on for a resonable price which looks the dogs  :drool:


PICS???
What about this stealth warrior Tom?  :wink:
