This is not a probability of success.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored.

Hi All,
This is my first post so bear with me. 🤓
I decided to prove to a friend that I could buy the absolute cheapest 911 in the UK and run it for a year without breaking the bank. So I did a search on Autotrader (criteria was manual, C2, coupe with an MOT). Picked the first one and bought it without driving it and had it delivered to me. I even Amazon Primed a camera and filmed my first drive and just stuck it on YouTube (sorry, terrible video!).
So I am now the proud owner of a 1998 996 for the princely sum of, der der derrr...£6550!
So after a year I'll either be saying don't do it or...everyone go and buy a 911 now!!
Admittedly, I broke all the rules of car buying so I wouldn't recommend that.
Anyway, enough of an introduction, I'll be looking for lots of help I'm sure so I'm hoping I'll be able to call upon your expertise and experience.
Wish me luck!
Apologies for the quality, I'll improve subsequent ones. I didn't have time to prepare for this one because o really wanted to drive it and capture the moment

Thank you 😊
Drink may have been involved when I was challenged to prove my argument but I decided to go through with it and, come on, it's a 911 for under 7 grand! ðŸ‘ðŸ¼
Thanks dude, will definitely be making use of this forum as it is quite rough around the edges but I've been using it every day to get to work and love it so far (despite some of its issues)
