Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

There is a red one of these parked near where I work, dribble every time as it drives by. . Between this and the 959 are my two dream porkas. Very jealous.

I can't believe what happened to Toyota. Genuinely upsetting.

Would love to make it over there next year. Must have been great.
Did you get much sleep?

yes the Toyota mishap, made for a very exciting finale!

sleep, hmm..

Expect cold in about 48hrs. :o)

Sweeeeeeeet black with gold wheels Elise S2 tearing up Old St this morning, big wing, looked track-y, someone on her must know of it

A pic of that Porker was tweeted by Hunter Skipworth from evo on it's way through stoke newington, turns out he's a fixielord

Haha, always

Who was talking about now being time for a ratty early Boxter?

Hefty, in advice to me

Epic win.

My dad had a 912, right-hand drive and very 70's beige. I think he sold it in 1977 when my sister was born, and I think he still slightly kicks himself about getting rid of it.

I can't bear that bloke. He's a simpering, sycophantic, brown-nosing gibbon.

tim burton/shmee - yes - he had to do lots and lots of takes in the compound as several unidentified wellwishers kept shouting "CUNT!" ... ;)

How bad would two grands worth of early Boxter be?

I'm in the US at the moment and they seem a lot cheaper than in the UK

and tell me, who drives a lambo hurricane to LM, then camps in a blow-up festie tent?

Did you go and have a look at the brown one?

I was overtaken by an F40 down Gower St this morning. No pics though :(

Unless you're very lucky or the seller is a bit daft it'll need £3k spending to make it the same as a £5k car and you'll wish you just got the £5k one in the first place.

I see, but what if I had plenty of time and wanted to show it a bit of Rod Emory treatment?

Then you'd be my kinda guy.

And mine.

Emory Boxster?

Sounds so wrong.

I have the time and I've been making the space at my parents.

The old man was highly unimpressed when I sold some furniture that I had deemed to be "in the way. He wasn't so upset when I gave him the cash.

I'd like something where the body is sound (not a deal breaker because I'd get it painted anyway) and I can work on slowly stripping all the unnecessary heavy shite out of it.

I know that it'll be a labour of love, but there are plenty of breakers around that'll have suitable bits and bobs available.
