Hi
One time forum member, long time lurker, I thought it time to seek counsel
After 6 years, I'm thinking of getting rid of my 997.1
The car is great and in really good order, but I only do 3k miles a year (currently 92k) as I use run-about (Mini Cooper D) for day to day and commuting. The special days are still special, but they seem few and far between. Plus my annual Le Mans trip will soon need to be accompanied by my 2 sons...
Bills have been ok, and there are none of the warning signs of impending doom. Even though my car as all the 'preventative measures' installed, I always fear 'the big one'. Whilst I could probably afford a re-build, it would be really sickening on a car worth circa £20k.
I'm thinking of chopping it (and the run about) in and getting a £30k M2/M3/M4 or even (whisper it) a Golf R and then using it every day.
I guess others have been in the same boat and decided one way or another. Really interested in hearing how others have rationalised it.
cheers,
Dave
