Not yet, Jon. Faffing over a 914-6 first.
Then I have to sell the concept of 3 Porkers to SWMBO.
But she just soooooooooo loves the 944 that I reckon it's do-able!!
Anyone want a E30 Touring?

I'm interested too, and my other half has even agreed to it
on the condition I sell the MGB first!! Doh!!
I have a buyer lined up, but he needs to sell his Mini Cooper S first - anyone looking for a LHD Mini? A very long shot I know, but you gotta try...
Nick, I'm guessing you don't fancy a trade-in of a LHD 1974 RB MGB Roadster do you?
Although, when you see what I want to change it to, you may not sell it to me anyway:

Sorry, but you are right. MGBs don't do it for me.
So yet another Safari replica huh?

Nick,
Isn't the woman in the photo the one from Germany, who knows the Nurburgring inside-out? I can't remember her name (was it Sabina?), but she's been on Top Gear a few times.

Helen,
I wouldn't do that
, I was thinking more like the Auto Kennel look (only the outside), the inside would remain nearly standard. I'm a nice guy really

I'm guessing you're aiming at the owner of the 914 pictured (not that I know who it is mind you).
I passed my test in 1991 (which gives you an idea of how old I am), and grew up with "go faster stripes" on a "not so fast" car - so I guess this would be a mature (used in the loose sense of the word) version on a car that goes a lot faster!!
I drove an original factory 356 racing car on an "oldtimer" tour last year and that was fantastic, but a little too hardcore for the road - my whole body ached after a 2 hour drive. I want to have something that stands out and a little different, but still has some comfort for me and the family.
I also like this:

(Rich, i was joking, the 914 was mine)
