That's a very odd headrest arrangment - does it have a single strut?

Doesn't he already have a Bentley?

Anyway - correct answer is an L405 FFRR TDV8. Loire Blue with Ivory interior to be precise. Call me for details.

Maybe relevant to post this here as much as the fleet running reports - my son is now tall enough to sit without a child seat so he now ocassionally travels in the front of the 911 when his mum is not with us. He got to do that on Sunday and I took him down Harry's road (which he has seen in the vid...

With the particular chassis dynamics of a 911 I'm not against ensuring it has the maximum traction available... Even with 295s on the back of mine, across a twisty B-road in Scotland over crests and dips you can feel the rear subtly moving and shimmying across the road surface - I'm not sure I'd wan...

That turbo is a tip - are you looking for a manual or an auto. If the latter you need to go for a 997.2 with the PDK IMO. I'd always spend the extra on the 997.2 having owned one and driven my fathers 997.1. Its mandatory to retrofit the PSE sports exhaust (as I did) but that can be done easily and ...

Have also had some thoughts about a 997 after @Robinoz sent me an advert for one which looked excellent at a very sensible price; I hadn't appreciated that the dip in used prices for 911 generations had reached the 997 properly yet. Buy one now, keep it years and it'll probably appreciate by 2030. ...

I drove back from Oxford to London this morning and there was a council worker with his spray can out marking areas for repair not far from where I live. It was tempting to say to tell him to draw a line across the road where he was stood and another by the roundabout 400m away as the whole road nee...

I know the world has moved on price wise but to me I'd struggle to justify spending £120k on a 911 that isn't a Turbo S or a GT car. Plus the depreciation is going to be very sizeable on a nearly new car. If I were stretching into that price bracket (and putting myself in your shoes with preference ...

I'm reasonably open minded. I'm not hugely in to mindless first person shooter games (notwithstanding I've bought COD but that's largely due to its reputation). Appreciate that is not much of a steer...

Amusingly I see Tomb Raider has been reissued on the PS5 - that takes me back.

As mentioned on the other thread - I recently had a mid-life crisis and bought a games console (PS5 Slim). The first one I've had since the PS1 in the late 90s. I've spent a fair chunk of time on GT 7 already and have downloaded COD (but not spent any meaningful time on it as yet b/c of the inverted...

Black one IIRC. They use to rib him about it never being used and nicknamed it the unicorn as it was never seen other than in folklore.

I hadn't noticed that! It also logs cumulative time played and I was quite embarrassed to see I'd already clocked up 17 hours :? Oh, OT for this thread but anyone know how you invert the look up/down on the joystick in call of duty. Apparently old people like me press up to look down and down to lo...

My Merc is automatic - not sure how. Possibly it's 'online' all the time, as it does have that assistance dialer built in and the remote app that I can use to query the car. Yeti is a couple of buttons. I think most cars from the last decade or more change automatically based on the time signal tra...

On average looks to be 3-5x their start price though.

Yes the auctions look like the way to go don't they. There are a number of four digit plates that go for significantly less than the base price of £5k that deals seem to charge. I also agree that some 5 digit dateless plates are as good as a four digit. 17 RSR is in the next auction which would look...

:?: PSE 6 is for sale which would work on my car - PSE being Porsche Sports Exhaust on a 6 cylinder car. £8,995 though :? to me, that's about the dumbest reasoning ever. I know they are not your thing but the whole concept of private number plates is either the aesthetic of having fewer numbers or ...

Wow - I didn't realise that they had gone up so much in the last 15 years but I guess that's in line with everything!

Maybe... number + XXX are all £5k+ so I would want it to have some meaning if I were to get one - even if tenuous.
