OV9

Deposit down on a 987 S from Northway. Good spec level, well looked after. 06 plate and 63000 miles. Hope to collect next weekend. Thank you all for playing! Good work What colour is it, couldn't see it on the Northway site 😆 Black. Not on the website - I pounced on it before it even got listed!

Let me know; I might pop down just to be nosy

Off to see a cheeky little S tomorrow morning!

I was astonished when I did some work for a private company that (unlike the dear old NHS) there was a group of people who also called themselves IT that would take a problem like a computer taking ages to load and slowing down your work seriously and come up to sort out the problem so you could get...

What happened next? You wind up at A&E? Hope you’re on the mend.

Oh really? I should be there later this week, all being well. I’m in Oxford, so it’s 45 min away from me.

There’s enough 911s on the forum now we should have an OV9 911 meet or trackday, those that are 911-curious welcome too

Have it up North.. the LGBTC+ meet: Leeds Porsche GT, Boxster, Cayman Curious!

This is the problem with a lot of medical areas - they are evidence free zones and you rely on ‘expert consensus’ (which, given a lack of evidence is really no better than ‘what some bloke reckons’). As the medical establishment currently doesn’t know who should take a preventative aspirin every day...

Long chat with one of the technicians at Mortimers who said they found the most bore scoring on 3.8 911s of that era and not had much in the way of problems with the 3.4.

Was at Mortimers today and they had some extremely tidy 911s in the high teens. Get one now before they start going up in price!

Another to see later this week, then will decide which I buy out of a few potentials (but one clear front runner).

So after some more test drives today I can attest that this was correct

Words from a medically trained person you should probably take as sound advice Nonsense. Don't believe it for a second. They're all in the pockets of big business. What you need is s twice daily infusion of a strong tincture of eye of newt mixed 50/30 with adder spit following the homeopathic rules...

There are case reports of chiropractors causing strokes by manipulating peoples’ necks - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6016850/ for instance but the event rate is so small it is hard to know what the actual risk level is. Re sciatica and back pain - depends what is causing it. Muscula...

God, this. I found “the senior nurse has pacifically asked for x, y and z” in a notice on a ward the other day.

The slushbox auto Jag 3.0 gets 30mpg on the Oxford - Cambridge run, which I was feeling bad about but I was speaking to my dad and it transpired his 1.6 Focus auto gets 28 mpg :shock: I can only assume he drives by planting his right foot firmly to the floor and shifting the box in and out of neutra...

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...
