Chris Harris has 4 SXW on his yellow Touring. Any one have any guesses what that is supposed to represent? Plates with an X in tend to be a bit cheaper. I've got 2 TRX and I think I paid less than £1500 for it although that was years ago. presumably because it reminded you of your uncle TRevor's eX...

Yeah, I do mine and the mrs car the first time I drive them after the date. It takes about 15 seconds to do.

A friend of a friend had one for years - he bought it at around £10-15k and I remember him saying that he was using it less because it was then (must have been 2015ish) worth about £40k and he was concerned about damaging it.

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 don't really get point of personalised plates at the best of times, so I'd rather have a short random plate like his than something with my name or initials.

just a short plate no?

cooking spec 964s aren't that rare. I suspect they might be now - the last 911s which used the original body (OK, not the original original swb) so quite a few will have been modified to backdate them. I doubt anyone will be adding impact bumpers or 964 plastic valances to a bare shell in the futur...

I'm not sure I like any of the wheel options. The Fuchs style in all silver look better to me though.

Yeah, the wheels are nasty. I like the interior though.

I don't think these restomods take anything away from the originals - I expect most are based on cooking spec cars rather than cutting up an RS, and cooking spec 964s aren't that rare. I think there's room for all - and they're bespoke - so not each one will not be trying to suit every persons taste...

We're not going to start arguing about what our favourite colour is are we?! We're not 7 years old...

It's red.

I wonder how many arch extensions were lost to those puddles?

There's always been cheap Chinese cars, is it that EVs are basically more like washing machines that the threat is a little more real this time?

Why put in all the work it make it look like this then not make it drivable? :roll: :( https://scontent-lhr6-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/434453640_3755550954704904_1467560699690786443_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_p720x720&_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=5f2048&_nc_ohc=aJvFhY-lqM4AX_-UD4u&_nc_...

I reckon a 17yo will ruin it, crash it, get bored with it and want something different inside 12 months, at which point it won’t be the 1-owner mint example you paid a premium for and you’ll wish you’d bought a “normal” one for half the price. I thought the same. Theres 24 on AT under 50k miles, so...

Incidentally, I learnt the other day that the T in t-shirt (the first one) is short for "Tyrannosaurus", on account of the short arms.

the weird thing is, I looked through the link again, and o actually quite like some (NOT all!) of the rooms. Except for the consistently awful 80s curtains

Saw Top Gun: Maverick and it absolutely slapped. Essentially a paint-by-numbers eighties action film done to perfection. Great fun and brilliant on a large screen with the volume cranked up - perhaps the only way to watch it. One thing that amused me is how they didn't refer specifically to the ene...

Ha ! I’ve been there, I mentioned it on here at the time. He’s tidied it up a lot since then, none of that exterior landscaping / pool was done when I saw it. Looking again it might even be a different owner now, previous one had lots of actual workshop equipment to do actual work. It looks like a ...
