992 sounds like an interesting buy (although I still wish they were a bit smaller). If you got one would you still want an MX5? Have I misread your post? :? It didn't feel big - incredibly easy to place on the road. I wouldn't write off the idea of a 911 because the 992 has got too big. MX5 is the ...

lol, how on earth do you know that?!

Its April to August thankfully!

Some very nice cars there

I've kind of lost track with Porsche as to what all the different models of 911 are now. Must have a mooch down to the local dealer at the weekend to see.

What are used values and depreciation like on "normal" models of 911 these days?

At least it sounds like you have a judge who is not going to take this BS for much longer Gavster I was speaking to an architect about our barn renovation today and when he could get up for a look, potential timelines etc. "Well, looking at the pictures, first thing I need to do is get a quote ...

I'm with Jobbo, I was all febrile at the expected gratuitous pictures of vintage music playing kit and have been left utterly disappointed.

Speaking of audio pr0n, I've just ordered this book: Jonny Trunk Audio Erotica

Was down the Borders running today and drove back over some nice single track roads which are popular with cyclists - I've ridden them a few times myself. Fvck me, do some cyclists really not want to concede an inch of road to let you overtake. They're blowing out their arse going up a hill 2/3 abre...

Sounds like you're nearly there and good to hear the judge is trying to move things quickly to what you'd hope will be a resolution.

55K is not surprising, but what a kick in the nuts to end up not getting any of it back given what you're expecting to happen.

It was the same here, the audience was very quiet when it finished. I think I'm right in saying that the third part is definitely going to happen which makes sense as the end of part 2 clearly felt more like an intermission than a finale.

Fuckin' Helmsdale! Nicely out of the way, that, but close enough to inversneckie to allow visits to actual civilisation, at least as much as Inverness can offer :D I was waiting for your reaction :lol: Yeah, we can still easily get on a train or plane from up there to Inverness or more likely Edinb...

The bustling village of Helmsdale. Which ironically now has three coffee shops thanks to the NC500 I guess.

Its up high on a hill looking out to the sea which was a major selling point...

Managed to get in to see that house which popped up for sale. 500 mile round trip with some fun twisty bits at the end of it, came back, put an offer in and its been accepted. They have some summer bookings in July, so will aim to settle at the end of that month and will start moving stuff up to th...

That is a thing of beauty

We went to see Dune 2 at the IMAX yesterday and it was pretty mind blowing. The visuals and score were stunning - an absolute assault on the senses. Loved it. Would recommend. Went to see this tonight too (although not IMAX) Not sure if good or not A stunning experience visually and sonically Which...

I think I'd definitely go and buy a Ferrari or 911 Turbo S, make sure my immediate family were sorted and then next on the list would probably be a holiday house in France or something.

Money would then be spent on traveling rather than a Highland castle.

I took it out on the M3 as its value is probably through the floor already and thought it was well worth the few hundred quid. But like Jobbo, its hard to feel like I'm paying for something that should already be covered by my insurance.

I've read that twice now and I'm still not sure how they can try to paint those results as being positive. What's at the root of Aston Martin's issues which seem to be perennial? Is it the fact they ultimately have a smaller appeal and audience for their products than other similarly priced alternat...

We're still waiting for a valuation on the plot of land and final build to come through, but have also been to look at a house that's come up for sale in the same village. It would be half the price of the new build and is much smaller, but comes with a long outbuilding attached to the house which i...

Or more likely based on Matt Carr's recent video, 3 Taycans.

Love the way Porsche sell a foldable spade for £144 and the holder for £77! :lol: Spec'd one last night, £188k for that is pretty good value. Then I went on Aston Martin and spec'd a new Vantage.. only problem is it doesn't show prices and so I have to guess what it costs :roll: (https://my.astnmrt...
