Hard to justify keeping the Speedster.

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?

Move doon south - there is more opportunity to drive it as the weather is lush :idea:

Would you like me to put some miles on her? :lol:

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? :mrgreen:

Either move to the south of France, or flog it to someone who doesn't mind it getting wet :twisted:

£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?

flog it, buy a 911 you can actually use ! you say you enjoy the driving part of things?

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.

EL Gordo · **Posted:** Sat Sep 20, 2008 11:43 am

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

Sell em both and get the GT2 :twisted:

You know it makes sense !
