Is it just me that does this :? :?

Initailly thought about a 928 but then was worried about the posibility of huge bills if something went wrong so was looking at 944's then after spending hours on autotrader and piston heads seen a 968 that looks good, a 911 that seems very reasonable and even found myself considring a boxter :lol: :lol:

To top it all passed a local dealer who has a Z3M Roaster up for sale at a very tempting price.

Why cant I make my mind up lol :D :D :D

Just get the '44turbo a JMG's it's down from £6995 to £4500 now! You can't boost the power on a Boxster or Z3 like you can on a turbo and isn't Gary Lane selling his turbo, that's really nice :wink:


Happy Boosting

Andy

There is only a train station and a prison in Carstairs. Do you drive trains?

If you don't know what you want join the club first & go out in some different models & see the difference. It will all become plain. All the cars have there own attributes. Are you after a daily drive or a weekend toy. Do you want to do track days or just polish it to death & do a few car shows. Or is roof down motoring your style? Never been a better time to buy but getting the right car is crucial & condition is the major factor rather than model. You shouldn't underestimate running costs either. But you really need to ride in a few to help you decide. It's all part of the fun. :)

Its actually 5,500 if you read the ads 4500 ' plus' preperation costs of 1,000 .

In the interest of good relations , I'm not going to give my opinion on that :|
