Had a girlfriend like that

Agreed. While I owned it I thought of it as a modern 356 Speedster. The later cars lose the delicacy of some of the lines. I was tempted to slam it and fit mooncaps or disc wheels to it but managed to stop myself. I think the 996 style splodge shaped headlights actually look far better now than the...

Unless I buy something old enough to have a tape deck then there is a much cheaper kit that looks like this: <snip> The more I look at audio upgrades for the beemer, the more tempting this gets. The Jag has one. Been using a similar adaptor for the last couple of years and the sound quality is far,...

I will say if you keep looking at Boxsters, make sure the audio system is good enough - the audio on the 330 is weak as fuck without the Harmon Kardon upgrade (better speakers and a sub) and it's the only thing that annoys me about the car. Especially with the roof down, the lack of bass really mak...

New thought:

987 Boxster S
Vs
987 Cayman (non S)

?

There will be others as you say (not that I wouldn't have uttered a few choice swear words).

Northway esq did promise to help out in future and hopefully they have a decent flow of stock. Never know, might get something even better....

Am viewing Tuesday, will let you know how I get on. How did you get on ? I was about an hour away when my phone pinged up with a very apologetic email saying they forgot to put a note on that I was coming for a look and one of the other lads sold it! Guess it was not to be. Unfortunately I was on m...

Sounds like your job is a problem. Maybe exercise more, have time for your stuff, don't smoke weed and give booze a miss :D Seconded on dropping the booze. When I hit my 30s I realized that it wasn’t just my hangovers containing “the fear” but a few heavy nights out made my anxiety generally worse.

Northway are excellent. If they’re selling it, it’ll be a good one. Apparently it’s the second time they are selling it having looked after her for the last 4 years. Going to swing by for a look Tues or Weds after the bank Hol. That one looks like just the ticket. In the best colour of Atlas Grey a...

This thread has made me realise that 996s can still be had for sensible money. I've not really looked at them for a few years and assumed they would have been caught in the modern classics bubble too. It seems like most of the ‘junior’ staff on evo run them as their own cars. I dunno, I read about ...

The births columns of the Telegraph/ Times are fantastic for the nonsense posh people are calling their kids. “To Isambard and Georgiana, a daughter, Ophelia Susan Sibley, sister to Arabella and Algernon.” “To Alexandra, a son, Balthazar Henry Wolff.” (Didn’t need to go any further than front page f...

Jesus. No. I don't even own a spanner.

X-type valued at £400 trade in or about a grand if I tried to sell it myself.

Poor old girl, I didn't have the heart to tell her, although I think she knew something was up because her 'normal' burning oil smell when stationery was slightly stronger than normal. That's her crying, that is.

This is the one I meant: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201902275354971?atmobcid=soc3 I wouldn’t have that other one, either. Now why did you have to go and show me that? I am hoping GG can demolish this before I buy it! Although who amongst us can pull off driving something with a ...

Show me a solid 996 circa £12k and I will kiss your feet.

Go to bed last night at half past nine. Any reason why so early? Just couldn't be fucked with the world generally. And yes, I am thinking I need to get a change up in my meds. The citalopram is great for the anxiety, useless for motivation/energy/feeling like life is worth wasting my time with/inse...
