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

Really reminds me of a Mazda6...

Look at it! You could drop it right into this collection

Fuck. I am a retrogrouch. It's official.

This appeals to my interests

Does it have an a/c switch?

New car arrived! Delivery driver washed it in Kew before driving it to Paddington.

Covered in white water marks.

Sent it back to be washed again. Happy first ever new car day!

50k.

I like that it looks a bit like a less round Brera from the back.

At pickup for 911, no price mentioned yet. Tension rises. Tea proffered.

My sons have over half of these.

It's the future.

RIP Bank Account.

Goodnight sweet prince.

Ah. Above my budget also.

I think, being a maniacal haggler, pre-reg, going for finance you could get it down to 40k ish.

Would still be large monthly on PCP

Goods have arrived. Still waiting for tyres.

Looks very smart! Is the plan to get a second one or keep OEM passenger?

Nice. Needs 6 point Schroth harnesses though.

Leaving the passenger side, the drivers side was not inexpensive.

Definition of ‘not inexpensive’? A very expensive cup of tea?

£1,200 for the seat, £450 for the base, £1,812 to re-trim and paint it. £20 in misc bolts and washers.

Jesus. I’m glad I am sitting down! I hope their tea was nice. Looks good, health to enjoy.
