and we’ll all do barspinz on the moon until forever.

Ideally we’d all realise the current system is too fragile and needs to go in the black bin.
In 2008 it was the banks, now it’s the airlines (and any number other international businesses, RIP Debenhams 4evainourheartz) begging for free government cash because we’ve stopped buying the shit they’re peddling for a month. The same businesses that will have paid out billions to investors and The Board in previous years.
A month.
That’s all it’s been.
And super-consumer capitalism has proven itself again to be too weedy to survive even that long without being propped up.
What we need it a spiritual revolution. A realisation that we need to put people at the heart of our systems, not coin.
What we’ll get is business as usual within a short while.
We’ll get back to worrying about shit that really doesn’t matter, like global warming, Brexit, the left vs the right, endless economic growth and all that. And they’ll find new shit to peddle, and we’ll buy it cos maybe that’s what’s missing from our lives.
And big pharmaceutical firms will continue charge us billions to hang on to our confused, unhappy lives a little bit longer, and we’ll not question it one bit.
We’ll keep wanting more of everything because that’s all we can conceive we need.
And then.
One day.
Something even bigger than Covid-19 will happen.
Something huge.
And we’ll finally realise the ultimate truth.
That Icke was right all along.

The wide body 996s and 993s look great, especially the 993S which is just so fat and low, so they’re more valuable. The first time I saw a 993 Turbo on the road, I was 16 and it was black, I couldn’t believe how fucken cool it looked. It was my absolute dream car, until I got one. (A few years ago when they weren’t £100k).
Have a go in a narrow [manual] 996 and you’ll understand. They’re so much lighter to steer, turn in so much quicker and ride so much better. The C4S tramlines, fights you over every camber and rides like you’re being bounced up the road on a scaffold board.
By comparison of course. Against an Audi a C4S steers like an Elise. :)

I had an Amethyst 928. Everyone was very pleased to tell me I had a pink poor man’s Porsche at every opportunity. :(

No point in a 964 as that's really just the older Carrera with fugly bumpers, the 993 had much better rear suspension. So that would be my choice.
No...
The 964 was the big changeover. It’s coil sprung, the earlier cars were torsion bar, has power steering, ABS and much better high speed NVH.
The 993 had mild mechanical revisions by comparison.
The 964 feels fleeter of foot to operate than the 993, but is more refined and faster than the 3.2. It’s also something like 8cm narrower that the 993 something you really notice on the road. You can pick a line in the 964 and still stay on your side of the road.

Whut?
Putting a £30k motor in the worst handling 911 ever made?
Daftness level = pro. Good on him.

That’s Amethyst, it was a standard colour, would have had 3 different pinks on the seat centres.
Still lush.
But it’s mos def pink, not purple.
