So i have to much down time at work when the weather is bad!!!!!
i have been loving my rs replica during the summer, but I'm beginning to ponder if a newer 997 turbo or 4s might be a better everyday car for the whole year????? its my only car.
geeeees I'm posting out of some hope of a slap in the face or sanity check???
current car....... I Absolutely love it, but, oh you all know what its like, bloody piston heads!!!!!! :frustrated:
Why not get a cheapo 4WD car or somesuch for winter use and keep the 3.2. Probably be better off financially in the long run than owning a newer car which may/may not have more depreciating to do, and the 3.2 is going up...
I think you will kick yourself repeatedly and vigorously for swapping air for water cooling. I love my 997 4S, but I often find myself in iPhoto looking at photo's of my old '78 SC with a stupid grin on my face...
This was her from a few years ago... look at it. Perfect.
I actually had a lump in my throat on the day I px'd my '88 3.2 for an at the time new E36 BMW M3 for the same reason of day-to-day usability. Sheer madness. Not helped by the dealer then parking it behind a wall, where I could see it peeking over when I went back a day later, almost looking at me like a scolded puppy :sad:
If you're wondering which daily car to buy, then buy a R53 Mini Cooper S. I have one as my daily and it's loads of fun. Fast and great in the corners. Enough power that you won't miss the Porka too much. And you can pick them up for a couple of grand now.
I've done over 103k in my r53 jcw it's the one car I would never sell and to think what they cost now compared to new they are the performance hatch of the millennium
