Daz Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Where's that taken? Somewhere in the Yorkshire Dales north of Skipton on the B6160, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F*ck me, if ever a more dreary car park existed I've not seen it, aside from the pork, not a single remotely interesting car in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy2shots Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Are you parked in a disabled bay Andy? I always had a hunch but didn't want to ask. Or, those are some of the best size spaces I have ever seen. Everything around me is Daewoo Matiz size and normal cars touch both white lines with their tyres.

I've blurred the background on this one for you. Are you parked in a disabled bay Andy? .Maybe, don't want anyone parking too close.My CB M3 parked in the same place, March 2001. Hmm, picture didn't appear, trying again ... Edited March 30, 2016 by Andy_Bangle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Bangle Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Old? yep, I purchased it from Porsche Zentrum Pforzheim for £61k and collected it from the factory in March 2000 (I was in my 20's) (then flogged it to Tom Hartley to buy the M3), still got the original receipt Edited March 30, 2016 by Andy_Bangle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Would be July 2000 on a W plate? You timed that well, probably not long after Porsche slashed £10k off the list price due to the exchange rate and increasing imports etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Oooooof. That is lovely. One of my ultimate stable cars and very high on the list of what I'd put in the stable first! The P1 and 911 really do look special, very special indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) This morning's trip to Porsche Reading did include a walk through the back areas, to get to the compound where there were a few cars in the shapes/colours I'd said I was interested in. One room we walked through had £10M of cars in it, apparently; I counted two 918s and two CGTs. Sadly I was dragged straight through and out into the compound. On the way back in we popped into an old shed. It had a range of 80s 911s, three CGTs, two 918s, and a sad-looking shell of a '73 RS. They could have left me there and I'd still be gazing at them all. Edited April 3, 2016 by patently 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipex Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Love the F40, I think myself and MrMe have a very similar taste in cars, the F40 along with a 355 would be in my lottery garage. Out of interest, which orange do you prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) The F355 is a car I am still holding a distant hope of owning one day. I fear I may have missed the boat from a price perspective and should have done it 6-7 years ago, but you never know. The F40 is a car I got to drive for about a mile when Reg Vardy had a dealership at Houghton le Spring. The car belonged to the son of Sir `John Hall (I think, if memory serves me correctly). It was very much a case of trundling along with a brief prod of the throttle up the incline to the dealership, but the car is on my list purely because of how connected it felt and the sheer raw noise and feel of it. There are, of course, much better cars, but choosing the 'best' isn't always how these things work, is it? I also have a soft spot for the Alfa Romeo SZ.

Woppum Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Saw that one, very nice! Has he decided what colour to have yet? I didn't kniw he was going to paint it ? I always imagined he would keep the livery. Think he has only used it twice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) In for a rebuild and colour change, apparently? It's in bits* at the moment. *technical term Edited April 3, 2016 by patently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Haha is that a trick question ? Lol, no it wasn't, really. Just wondered if you preferred Worrange or McOrange, they look quite similar in a lot of pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Lol, no it wasn't, really. Just wondered if you preferred Worrange or McOrange, they look quite similar in a lot of pictures. It probably OK to say it now as I own a P1 but Worrange was based on volcano orange! I think it has a tiny more red in it but the difference could simply be down to the light and fact p1 was clean and RS filthy the only time I have seen the two together properly!
