Hello from Nottingham
Hi , my name is Pete from Nottingham and am over 4 and a half decades old. Have visited this site a few times over the last 2 or 3 years and found it really informative and friendly.
I have never owned a 911 but I feel after 3 decades of wanting one, now is the time to bite the bullet and start looking. I am not a seasoned expert at looking at these cars either so I would prefer to try and buy a well known car that is in excellent condition and that has not been modified too much.
My preference would be a bog standard matching numbers 2.4T or E . I love viper green and blood orange but I suppose I will just have to see how the search goes.
Look forward to picking your brains when the time comes.
Cheers
Pete

Re: Hello from Nottingham
Welcome to another Nottinghamshire member.
Good luck with your search, you probably should have started it 2 years ago price wise though!
Hope to meet up soon.

Re: Hello from Nottingham
Thanks for making me feel welcome Bootsy, Sladey and Jason. I live in Arnold. Do the Notts lads have a meeting anywhere? I hope I do find something in the near future and its a shame that the prices have risen so much so quickly as its probably priced me out of some really nice cars. Trouble with me is I spend too much time thinking about stuff and not getting on with it and doing it. I suppose its good news if you are selling but not so good if buying.
If anyone knows of a nice matching numbers 2.4E or T in RHD then I am interested !
Cheers
Pete

Re: Hello from Nottingham
hi Pete,
Welcome. I am based around Ranby, which is just about within Notts, but I lived for 11 years in Lenton. There is a good number of real enthusiasts in the area so there is an opportunity to sample a bit of all! (Even, ahem, *caugh* some impact bumper action.)
Take care,
bert
