If you ...

Post by neilbardsley »

If you spend 38k on a car and sell it for 26k are you a "Careless Whisper"?

Maybe as it's their BUSINESS they haven't put that much into it themselves......

See what you did there Neil.

Its true though, if you are going to drop 38 bags on a transaxle, you know you gotta have faith.

I know that’s what people call the front engined cars but - 911s have a transaxle innit? And 356s. And 914s. And Boxsters.

Hang on just googling...

Just sounds better than ‘engine speed prop shaft’ Porsches I guess :)

I prefer that actually. Sounds clever and technical. And more worthy of a £38k spend.

Yes, you are both technically very clever, but can you work a George Michael reference into a scenario involving an ill-advised level of financial commitment to a 944 restoration?
You can not.

Yeah. You’re right.

Regardless, I’d not spend £38k on a forty-four. They’re not even that Fast, Love.

Amazing, I Knew You Were Waiting for the right car to come along Sam but maybe a 44 is worth One More Try? Some may say it's akin to Kissing a Fool but maybe a bit of an engine speed prop shaft Porsche may Heal the Pain?

What financial commitment? You gotta have faith, faith, faith ...
