Nothing definitive as yet, but considering getting something 2+2. Thoughts on the above? Or indeed any other suggestions would be welcome. You can pick two options each.. go!

Also, enjoying a pleasant stroll around Richmond and thought this was a clever solution to something that may affect my decision 🙈

Has to be a turbo s. It’s been the one 911 I want since the 993.

All of those fish look to be Turbot...

Out of those choices I'd go with a 992 GTS of either variety. Near as makes no difference the same performance to the earlier Turbo cars and more modern in every respect and likely quite a bit less money than the 992 Turbos (but I haven't looked how much).

992 GTS and Turbo S are similar money (I want rws and front lift).. I remember wanting a 997 T S and nearly bought one when the 991 came out; so Turbo S is appealing - not sure if I prefer the Turbo more aesthetically speaking, as I think it’s more discreet

It’s like he isn’t listening and could make a terribly bad decision.

lol.. 993 is in front of my parents old place, so I think I’ve got the photographer’s number.

Thing is, this is to be a daily, not a weekend toy and the pic I posted hinted that it’s unlikely to be garaged and more likely to be parked on a driveway or road. Plus more modern should be more reliable.. 🤞

Where's the 992.2 GT3 Touring option?

Failing that, Roma.

Quite like the Roma bar the horrendous grill, but you can't really see that in a dark colour.
Is it similary priced to an F12? I'd pick an F12.
Not useful am I.

I will say, you can sleep in a car, but you can't drive a house. So that's the last option ruled out ;)
How about not having a sig at all?

I'm not a Roma fan. Looks bloated and a bit like a potentially nice design that got melted a bit.

Thought that was just me. I think it’s just that the non limited models are ten a penny in London so it’s a bit common.

Buy the house first, then get a sorted 928S4 or GT.

Joking aside, after looking at some properties today, maybe a Caterham (or a bicycle!) would be more sensible purchases!

And a new email from Oracle finance now has me looking at TVRs (reliable.. ffs!). Apparently the Sagaris is now classed as a Classic by HMRC, and I remember driving the T350C after Tiffany Dell stepped out.. massive want.

I still want a 289 something, so maybe I should just hand my testicles in and buy a Tesla 3 for d2d?.. like I said, nothing definitive about this 🤦🏼‍♂️😂
