However in due consideration of my nerves and love of my Porsche, I think I might be a little circumspect about you suggestion - unless of course you would like him to use your car occasionally too :?:

I'm a bad example, as a young apprentice, I had the use of a GT40 for the day in the 60's.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have been caught on many occasions by mt eldest son to lend him my cars in the past. If he wants a Porsche he can buy his own :wack:
I'll sort my Entry too.
Regards Big Bob :bye:
I've always used Autotrader. As you know a lot about cars, you'll spot a good model as well as a bad un.
The dealers buy from this site and look to get a 15-20% discount off already keen prices. Some of the London bankers who own these cars don't give a damn about dropping their prices by a few grand, they'll still be better off by selling privately rather than to an OPC.
BTW my 20 year old son also wants a 911 - no chance!
Good luck!
Don't know how old he is Bob, but the best advice that my dad ever gave me (though I have always ignored it, even today) is that "A sports car will always keep you poor" It's sooooo true - ask me how I know
Thanks Rhenders and Seagull. My oldest lad James who is up for the Porsche is 30, and his Bar Practice seems to be paying the bills.
But you are right Sports Cars can keep you poor, but so can booze and women! But I love em all :floor:
Yes we have spotted a couple of cars of interest in Autotrader :worship: .
So eyes are peeled. :fisherman:
Funny I have not been touched yet for a loan :?:
Regards Big Bob :bye:
Bob, he's 30 so any loan shouold be resisted. I was driving TVRs at 30 and they kept me poor then, yes I was financing them myself. 16 years later on and there's always an unexpected ocurrence that keeps you poor - very poor (see members bar area)
ANY CAR!! will keep you poor really!
BUT!!..... the fun from a "sports car" wellllllll ....
you only live once and the fond memories I have of my burnt orange Alfa Romeo Sprint are (were) worth every penny!! It was burnt orange honest ... not "just" rusty!!
I'm a bad example, as a young apprentice, I had the use of a GT40 for the day in the 60's. I blew a whole weeks money to drive it to Goodwood for the weekly practice day (Not on the Track - just to watch)!!!
Regards Big Bob :bye:
I have a customer with a 2000W C4 with a factory Gt3 aerokit, sunroof, litronics, sports seats, 51000 miles, Full main dealer history, still under Porsche warranty, looking for £26,000 ish,
previously supplied by me 3 years ago, looking to sell privately rather than px with me as every penny he gets for it gets him a better 997!
car located in Herts
Hi

Now Sundeep that is a thought :food: . However in due consideration of my nerves and love of my Porsche, I think I might be a little circumspect about you suggestion - unless of course you would like him to use your car occasionally too :?:
