I took the old girl for her annual inspection and as usual no issues. Miles covered since last MOT was 659, which is 64 more than last year  I love owning the car as much as I do driving it but is it time to say goodbye? I don't need the cash but spending about £1.50 a mile is a bit nuts? |

Absolutely nuts. In the good way, though. |

i can help you out here, how about i hire it off you for a day or a weekend, you benefit in 2 ways... 1. it'll have more miles on it so £/mile will come down! 2. it will actually earn you money! so... when is it available? |

Sean, how can I put this politely. You have a car in the UK that you don't like taking out in the rain, ever! In the UK it pees down a lot AKA bu99er all mileage per annum are you surprised?  Either move to the south of France, or flog it to someone who doesn't mind it getting wet

£1.50 a mile is a bit nuts? gawd !!!! don't start talking about cost per mile, cos I will remember to worry!! if the cash is not a concern Sean, how could you sell her? |

What is causing my dilema is, I have a turbo itch that I need to scratch. 996TT, 964T2 or a 930LE? I need to advertise the Cabby to make room or convert the garage to take 4 cars. SWMBO is not overly enthusiastic about a 4 car garage. So the '44 has to go but there is no rush I don't want 2 911's that never go out, becasue I'll only buy something that is in a similar condition to the old girl. |

why not buy a 911 with some miles on it but in reasonable nick and actually enjoy the experience for a year? then if you have the turbo fever chop the 911 in and go from there? |

You obviously don't like the car if you only do 6 miles a year in it. Sell it to someone who does!! |

IMO it's time to sell Sean, it can't be doing the car much good not being used regularly. Buy a 911 track rat that you can really have some fun in
