The car was purchased last Autumn, since then I’ve been on a number of track days at Combe/Goodwood/Silverstone/Donington to get used to the car and have a fair bit of coaching. I also managed to...
As I’m sure some of you are aware from my previous car threads I’m rather partial to older Porsches, however have always harboured a desire to one day race. Having sold my ‘74 RS rep and Manthey GT3...
Something akin to mine…. 🤣😬

I hate the new logo, no idea what they are thinking! I do rather like the one I have, and having...
Really like that spec, congrat! Makes a bloody change from the sea of black/blue/grey/silver.
How are you finding it?
My wife has a 71 plate GLE and it’s a hateful thing, ride quality is shite, cheaply built and handles like crap, I hate it! Good job it’s getting replaced soon.
Not the engine, I mean the car in general! Amount of cost saving measures in various places is unreal - long gone are the days of cars being built by engineers not penny pinchers!
I couldn’t disagree more tbh! 4 pot, only made to last 10 years at best; I guess it all depends if you want something new and shiny!
IMHO I wouldn’t touch any of the newer stuff, Porsche specialist I use has had countless 718 etc in to have bits replaced due to cheap manufacturing.
Having had a 3.2, 986S, 2 x 996 GT3’s, ‘74...

Ie leave the camera and take the .308? 😬🧐
Unfortunately a camera is not going to stop them destroying all the crops locally!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 unfortunately I couldn’t afford a GT3 race car!
Our freezer is full of venison fillets/sausages/stew etc, it’s sooo bloody tasty.
It’s called deer management, otherwise they run amok and decimate the crops; everything gets butchered and eaten, no different from slaughtering cows/pigs etc.

Tony, only just noticed you had this thread running after I put a WTB up! Looks bloody awesome, my favourite non-mainstream watch. Enjoy!

Absolutely love this watch!
Having bought and sold a multitude of watches over the years, I’ve come to the realisation that as with cars, my preference is for the older, vintage end of the market. For me these are 2 watches...
