Stu Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 Don't turn this thread into a Escort vs what else...... The Escort is still on the cards.. the only reason i'm pondering is at the moment cashflow isn't great, so I have time to contemplate until some invoices get paid!

escortjas Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I've already said keep the escort, you want something a bit raw, strip it out a bit. You'll gain an immense satisfaction from beating the Porsches in a car thats your own work, just think of the look of suprise on the guy's face...

Stu Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Well.. visited Porsche this morning.. The Cayman is a truly beautiful car in the flesh, it really is... Problem is, I don't comfortably fit in one. Not enough room around the steering wheel for me to be happy (I do like a bit of spirited driving, and lack of clearance could be fatal!)... But I did get to drive something else... a 996 Turbo!... And of course, fell in love.. After 20 minutes driving one of those, you realise all this car modification blah isn't worth it.. it sets a new benchmark for automotive enjoyment!... But.. I can't own one at the moment, it's just not practical. Right now i'm kinda considering spending the next 12 months living like a pikey, getting as much money into my business as I can, getting rid of everything I own car related and just picking up a cheap estate car to get me about... And then.. Porsche time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skell18 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Do it stu! Buying my M3 was the best thing I ever did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meekstaaa Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Your scary enough driving a diesel, i wouldn't want to be in the car with you in any of these! The saloon is a great idea but you have already done it remember, and you know what your ideal car is, so maybe you should wait...... The choice is yours at the end of the day. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
