Hi guys, just thought id share my story.
I first started out with a 98 Porsche boxster back in 2002.
Loved it so much and was actually pucking a punch back then!
I then got myself a BMW M3 e46 cab.
it was an absolute power house, going from 204bhp to 320 bhp was a massive jump.
I adored it! but then, i decided 911 is now the right time.
I sold my m3 and got myself a 911 1998 with new engine from john oakley.
It was incredible and i only now appreciate how amazing the driving experince actually was.
Cut a long story short, i had to sell it because i wanted something newer.
Oh the GT3 badge was on when i bought it, removed it the same day!!!!
Then.. my real power house arrived.
Then i had it wrapped to super car standards!
Insane headturner, and Police stop machine.
Oh the tickets!!!
Now ive sold the 997 carrera S because I devolved scoring and the ticking noise was unbearable and losing lots of oil.
:floor:
in the end had to sell it for 13k to a guy called Tim Shaw from 5th Gear i think he said at the time and they were going to do a full rebuild as part of the show. So his daughter arrived and she had an ipad to video com live with him around the car as he was in LA.
Really nice guy and easiest sale ever, sold it in about 30mins from listing it and wired me 3k deposit same day.
So that went.. and i was at a stage where i never had a 911 because i moved very rural and instead bought a few landrovers.
Now.. im back in the hunt, found one for sale near me, hopefully picking it up Tuesday. Jet black C4 CAB. I can't wait. never been this excited for a car before.
I will post pics when i pick her up. Oh the joy with the summer coming!!!!!!
