This Saturday will be a very sad day.
It will be the day i wave off my car for good with its new owner.
Thank you to everyone i have met and given me advice along the way.
Id like to think that while ive owner OTY 831F that ive made many improvements to the performance reliability and cosmetics.
I wont be a stranger to DDK, the money has to go into the house for now, but ive always fancied one of those whale tale 80's 911's.

You'll be back. I sold an MGB roadster to build a kitchen quite a few years ago. If you fancy 80's then register on impact bumpers

Yup when we built our house our 993 became a kitchen
Was porscheless for 6 months - it was he'll.
A 968CS then another 964RS sorted that out though....there is no escape!!

If you had bought a kitchen from me you would have had a kitchen and still kept your cars

Funny, I bought my car by selling a kitchen.
Commiserations Steve, there have been a couple of times over the last six months where I thought I might have to turn the 911 into bricks and mortar.. and it`s still a possibility.
Onward and upwards.

Sorry for the delay.
I know what you mean, ive already looked up a couple of other toys..... Pontiac GTO being one of them and a couple of 80's 911s i really dont know the first thing about them though and i have a mortgage going through. oh dear.
The car has gone to a very confusing french chap in Hemel Hempstead. Unfortunately his words to the recovery guy who took it down there were 'its staying in the garage until the hot weather comes round again.' Doesnt seem like the die hard type or the social type unfortunately.
Hes actually tried to give it back since but i got a good/fair price for it and have the money committed to other things now.
Hopefully you will see it at a show near you soon!
And between me and you, im sure a 'bad boys' 911 will be in my garage in the next couple of years. will keep you posted.
