You make a pretty compelling argument there, I can go along with that (as long as the weather is good).

My Galaxie isn't something for chucking down a b-road either :lol:

It's comfortable, but capable & competent...... not really.

I've voted too. Might request a P-ride, but let's see. Might also be a no show depending on when the SiL sprogs and what that requires of us (looking after her first, not planning on being involved in the delivery).

If you can sort your own insurance and it doesn't come back with less petrol than it started with (and you don't break it, obvs), you're welcome to.

Who wants the the 911 ?

Excellent. Although I'm tempted by SJ's offer of the 911.

Done and done. Name your preferred short term insurance provider.

I’d be interested if you guys can get short insurance, I tried to on SJ’s Aston, and nobody would give it 😔

I recall having this with Cuvva when trying to test drive an XKR. There will be a way.

PM'd.

One additional requirement from my side: you need to let Duncs have a go too.

I'm giving Gavster dibs on the 911 right now but I'm sure there would be opportunity to drive it.

Although; you're probably the only person here tall enough to drive it without reworking the seat mounts !
