I got it for £8008. I put that as my maximum bid because it spells BOOB.

My wife and daughter seemed bemused when I told them of this. Bloody heathens. Genius and you got a 911 so you win this week.

Good thing he didn't put his highest bid at £8,008,135.

My 8 year old son just got up, his face lit up with joy at the bid!

Proof, were it required, that males are better.

[Foz]

Good Luck!

[Barry]

Madness. I love it

Feel like bringing it to Scotland with YK, myself and others in September?

[ZedLeg]

Bold move Rev, I approve.

TBH I kind of hope the engine shits itself an hour after you pick it up so you skip straight to the LS swap .

[Foz]

LS swap will cost upwards of 10 grand by all accounts, engine goes I would be breaking the car tbh

[Rich B]

Yeah, I imagine an LS swap would be best left for people with a proper attention span! Fingers crossed it’s just a bit of tarting up needed!

Definitely sounds like a plan!

Can we make that at least 3.5 hours? I’d like to get it home, at least!

[Sundayjumper]

I have a trailer should you need it

[NotoriousREV]

OK, confirmed that I'll be collecting it on Wednesday. My train gets into Reading at 11:10 so if SJ, JonMad etc. are around and want to come and point and laugh, let me know .

I'm impressed now I know that. Hope all goes well.

A taxi from the station will probably take ten minutes, so you'll be there about 11:30 ?

I'm in Aldermaston during the day, about 20 mins away, so I can pop over to do a quick bit of pointing & laughing.

If you're wanting lunch, The Cunning Man would be a good call. Just a couple of minutes away.

An £8k 996 C4 which can be driven home. Nice, and never mind a few marks here and there

Yep, that sounds like a good plan. I've been practicing the secret Shonky Porsche Handshake.

Does anyone have any recommendations for Porsche-friendly 2nd car (i.e. no NCB) insurers? Admiral are coming up as the cheapest on the Meerkat at £735 at the moment. My 10 years NCB only gets £200 off that, for comparison.
