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!

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
.

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

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!

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

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.
