Well what a motor and why not buy it you deserve it. Plus you only live once. I understand your concern about parking of the vehicle 🚗 but you just have to use your head on where you leave it,and my first thing i would put on it is a Tracker. Enjoy I’m very envious of you 👍
ОтветитьNice one and enjoy 😊
ОтветитьAnyone reading this can search "autoexpress best car checks". Basically their 1st choice is £3.99 a check vs CV which is £15.99 a check.
ОтветитьYou can have whatever you want life if you worked hard enough you work hard so why not enjoy it and at the end of the day if you ever need to free up some cash it's always there I'm with you the 911 is a must have for any petrol head hope it fulfills a tick on the bucket list
ОтветитьYou deserve it m8!! You work bloody hard so you should be able to treat yourself without feeling you need to justify it 👍
ОтветитьWell done, lovely motor!
ОтветитьIt looks like one massive on going bill to me, not to mention the stress of every time you leave the car parked up in public.
ОтветитьLove your car. Enjoy
ОтветитьNice well I'd drive it like you stole it everyday
ОтветитьIMS is fine, but how is it for the cylinder bore/rings issue these thing have?
ОтветитьFantastic Car enjoy it, and would feel the same about using it and parking it. Well done.
ОтветитьJames! You bloody well deserve this 911/987! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. What a gorgeous car. Good job sir!
Ответитьwishing you health and time to enjoy this wonderful machine. if it was me i would dedicate my enjoyment of it to long country runs with a loved one stoppng for a quiet bite on a beautiful summers day/evening .
ОтветитьYou only live once take the time to enjoy it. If you dont spend it the Boss sure will.
ОтветитьNice car fair play.. yea I wouldn't go over the speed limit either 😉😂
ОтветитьWhat you did wrong was you didnt do your road test through a tunnel 😁
ОтветитьPay with a credit card whenever possible. Then you’ll have credit card protection. If a firm doesn’t take credit cards - think very carefully.
ОтветитьGorgeous
ОтветитьThe worries about damage are why I'm not the least bit envious. It's just not worth it. I don't drive anything special though I could afford it, not worth the stress.
ОтветитьGreat car well done , living the dream , sometimes life is alright lol
ОтветитьJust use the car as it was ment to be used if you truly broght it as your dream car then resale value is pointless worring about its sad to see these cars mothballed and parkrd in the corner for fear of losing a fiver because it had some miles on it or a scratch on it if you have the money to buy a car like that you can afford to use it and take the devaluation on the chin
ОтветитьSeems to me the guy who had car last bailed out after owning the porche for 2/3 years because its obviously a cash pit car for your average person. However its a lovely car so enjoy
ОтветитьOn a different note 😢. After watching clip to the end when you took your daughter out for a spin.
I feel sorry for future generations who may never get to hear that mighty roar of a V8
It looks like from your video , its 3/ 4 k per year to mantain. Good video.
ОтветитьKnow how you feel regarding using it. I am the same position with my Audi S3 Bought from new. Didn't want to use it because I'm afraid of putting wear and tear and mileage on it so much so it's only 6000 miles in 5 years.. Madnes I will not use it in the rain. I'm paranoid where I park it on the few occasions I used it. Still sits in my garage like a Queen. While we drive around in a 9 year old VW Up, and it's only an Audi S3. Been looking at 911s as well but cannot go through this again. It will have to be used.
And yes, my wife thinks I'm mad as well
The only fear in the car trade just now with premium and prestige marques is…. was the car owned my Marcus Rashford? Or is it Rush-ford? 😂
ОтветитьDream car , happy as a weekender and everyday car . Sensible but fun too .
ОтветитьIf you cannot treat yourself now and again then what's the point of hard work? 😂
Ответитьi'm with you on where to park up i allways try to find a spot away from other cars like when visiting ASDA etc and i drive a 2017 Peugeot 3008 wife says why do you park so far away ? but thats me if all the other drivers were like me iv;e allways been the same with all the cars iv;e owned and i'm 77 years old
ОтветитьSpec and condition but more importantly (history) ……
ОтветитьLove the five spokes. I think the best OE wheels for the 997.
ОтветитьOne trick when buying things like this is to use a credit card for at least a set and quite low amount of money. This then makes the credit card jointly and severally liable for the debt if something goes wrong, so you do then have some means of getting money back.
ОтветитьHaving been in a situation where I had paid an overly large deposit for work to be done on a vehicle. I had to go to the former business owner and explain that it wasn't just business it was personal. It was all fixed up in the end.
ОтветитьDon't worry what people think, treat yourself and enjoy. Quick note though, a 911 of any marque is not a super car, nice sports car, super car.... No. Enjoy.
ОтветитьI've got almost exactly the same spec car, I didn't think my car had the sports exhaust because I had no dedicated button, it turns out it was supposed to work of the sport button but my valves had seized
ОтветитьGood find ! What's the story with the smart roadster?
ОтветитьFabulous! Keep it up!
ОтветитьI also hear many stories about Ltd companies. Now as he was sent photos claiming to be the work carried out and it was not they are not protected from fraud and deception and the company directors are liable to prosecution and assets seized as they are from criminal acts. Police report needed by the guy
ОтветитьHa ha, my 996.2 rear spoiler deploys at above 75! I used the manual button, honestly officer! 😂
ОтветитьSleepless nights 😂
ОтветитьThat’s a keeper, use it keep mileage low, you won’t get another that good, happy for you
ОтветитьI had a blue one with all the options possible. Great car but not as balanced as the boxster from the same era. Need looking after with regular service and care, tyres cost a bomb as well 😅
ОтветитьThought it was going to be an interesting car. Oh well. Glad I scrolled forward to see what it was so I didn’t waste my time.
ОтветитьI've never had a problem like that, I do the bulk of the work and have trusted specialists for the things I can't to.
ОтветитьGolden rule. Don’t lay out ‘up-front’. Huge disincentive for the dishonest restorer to do any work - he’ll just move on to the next one.
ОтветитьSupercar 😂
Ответить2 years ago I bought a 2006 low mileage 997, and I’ve gone through all the concerns that you mention in this video. Mine was a retirement treat, an ‘if not now when’ moment. Bought mine from a Porsche specialist, and traded my 2008 Boxster. Like you, the fact that it had recently had its engine reworked was reassuring and apart from new front discs and a damaged suspension arm, it hasn’t let me down. My car is a base model with similar extras and I worry every time I leave it somewhere. Thankfully, most of the attention it gets is enthusiastic rather than sinister. At 72 I’m more worried about my IMS than the one in the car.
ОтветитьA few years back, after never having enough disposable cash, I decided it was time to buy myself a really posh guitar to use in my band. £7,000 spent and everything was tickety-boo.. I took it out for it's first gig and it lived up to my expectations and some. During the break, I popped it on the stand and went to get a pint.. I turned around to see the venue owner moving the guitar (still on it's stand), nearly dropping it and leaving it balanced on an uneven surface .. I was horrified even though there was luckily no damage done. I never took the instrument out of my house again..
Ответитьim a simple man and im now 64y/o and a car i have ALWAYS longed for is a simpe 1. 6 ford capri but as always i cant afford one it has always been on my bucket list ,
ОтветитьYou've more than earned this, what other people think doesn't matter. If it makes you happy just enjoy it. Well chuffed for you. Top chap, or should that be Top Chop?
Ответить
