£7k seems fairly silly, but I guess everything is now.
It feels like it was only a few years ago you could get a 944 (non turbo) that needed a grand of work (sills etc) for £3k. I mean I was looking at them at one point.

Then I think back and that was a decade ago.

Nah, I was just idly looking at that stage, so nothing to reinvest into :D

Another pickup want, but at the other end of the size scale. This would probably fit in the back of the F150 :lol:

Was it one of the Police Academy films where a tall chap ripped out the front seats of a 126 and sat on the back seat to drive it? That’s not possible in this, and you’re tall; there’s no chance you’ll fit 😂

Evo (or someone) need to do a comparison test of the McLaren range as a used buy. The prices are not that far apart; is a 600LT a better car than a 720S? I have no idea.

That is nice. I’ve had a look round a 720S - better in the metal than in pics.

@revsRus will inform you shortly that upwardly exiting exhausts are essential.

Agreed I hated the looks when released from the photos, which was March 2017 interestingly, but the car now is probably a game changer in terms of design.

They look incredible on the road!

I would have one over the 600LT personally, and the person I know who’s driven both agreed.

Upwardly exiting exhausts are essential*

*more essential in winter when it’s dark enough to see the flames. Not visible until around 11pm in Scotland currently

One of those cars that don’t photograph well yet look amazing in the fresh.

The 928 of the two for me (purely on looks, I haven't read the ads). Both 8-) obvs.

I was thinking the same. As much as I'm a BMW fanboi, I can't help thinking the 928 would feel more special.

I'd rather have the 635, but then I'm not a huge Porsche fan and I'm a bit of an old BMW pervert :lol:

If it had been an M635CSi that would have been tough. As it is…. 928 all day. But a manuel instead please.
