It was the new M6, awesome bit of kit, brutally fast. I have driven the 640d too and that is also a lovely drive and in day to day driving more than fast enough.Originally Posted by GOAT
My daily driver is still my A3 2.0 TDI SLine Quattro uprated to 220bhp. I had a pic in the thread but its gone.
I recently bought a part completed camper conversion VW T4 and now have this. some pics are part way through the conversion and some when completed.
My 1972 GT Junior 1600 going around Monza and I think its beautiful engine.
One of my modern cars , Jeep Wrangler.
Nice V8S. I had one a few years ago, in Cooper Green. Lovely car it was too. One of those that I sold and wish I hadn't.This was one of mine a few years ago, yes it is the V8 version.
My current fleet consists of a lowly Focus 1.6 Zetec which I use for commuting duties, a Skoda Octavia estate for family trips and an old Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo (tweaked and running 320bhp) as a weekend toy.
We have a boring passat tdi and boring golf tdi. Then i bought this as a Sunday car recently. I can't believe how much car it is for the money, I am really loving it.
S2K is fun Olli, I had a test drive in one c2003ish I think. I am like an excited little boy today, collecting my new 997 Carrera S in the morning and can't wait!
997 - Beautiful car! Hope to get one one day! Please post pics when you pick it up!
Will do, have been hunting for a nice one for a few months now and finally found one last week. Will get some nice snaps in a day or two
Absolutely stunning. One of my all time favourites. I grew up wanting one of these . Still as beautiful as ever.Jaguar XKR. I've had this for four years and I've no plans to change it, even though running it doesn't make financial sense - 13 MPG!

E89 BMW Z4....possibly going for a new boxster......
I'm sure the person who lives in that house would love me too but I'm not that keen ;)
This has been very good to have this rather severe winter
Easily sits six persons and is very nice both on- and offroad.
Im 6.4 and this is the first motor, that Im really comfortable driving.
I have a roof tent, but find it ironic, that I use a tent on top of a vehicle already equipped with a telescopic roof section.
Cutting a hole in the roof of an brand new motor and installing the telescopic roof how ever had to be done in order to shave 50-60K off the price of the vehicle which already cost twice that.
There is practically no where this wont go, though of course the running boards/step puts some limitations on the fun and games. The vehicle can be lifted and Im quite surprised, how steep an incline such a heavy vehicle will defeat even when its running on mud or ice.
A rough 'n ready pic of new car, collected today. Already fallen in love with it! Longing for some decent weather now.

Cheers, it's a 2005 997.1 Carrera S. 1 owner car with a great history and Porsche warranty so fingers crossed cheap-ish(!) motoring until the next service in October '14.
Bellissimo!

Snap!
I have one very similar, although not an 'S' had it for 18 months great car! Would well suggest you look at the low temperature thermostat, just about to do mine.

I've been into cars and motorbikes longer than I've been into watches so actually have a bigger collection of them.
The daily
The fast one
The commuters (picture taken at our last house)

Will you be using it as a a daily? Can I ask what these cost to run?
Nice wheelsI've been into cars and motorbikes longer than I've been into watches so actually have a bigger collection of them.

Which Range Rover is that? (and whats the audi in the last pic)
That is super cool looking. I dont think i have seen that shape in that colour before, looks very stealthy.The fast one
Why thank you.
The range rover is a TD6 vogue, my first green oval but I doubt it'll be my last.
The Audi is my wifes (A3 tdi). Completely sensible to balance out my ridiculous selection.
It is isn't it. The thing is I bought it about eight years ago but now I'm in my 40's I look a little sad in it.
Its a Japanese import and looks exactly how it did when it left the factory however I have made some changes in the engine department though so it's running a little more power than most.
This as of yesterday after 3pm

Not a daily as such but will be getting good use (share a 1 series with Mrs and have a van for work/long journeys). Servicing isn't too bad, £450 for a minor (plus £150 for brake fluid) and about £1k for a major every four years. Obviously tyres are expensive c£1k a set, and if things go wrong it could spiral. Have a year's Porsche warranty which was a must to cover any potential engine issues, and I'll be looking into other warranties come next March.
How many miles has yours got? I am up to 27k ;0(
would well recommend reading this....

Cheers, have read up quite a bit on the issues, rather not read anymore now otherwise I'll never sleepCar is just over 50k, peace of mind of a recent major service/inspection and all is good. I think the issues are probably built up worse than they actually are, you don't often find all the 1000s of owners who haven't had any problems posting on forums. Certainly going to keep the car under warranty though as you can't be too careful.
Congrats.This as of yesterday after 3pm
I'm actually very taken with the new 5er and yours looks very nice!!
What interior do you have? :)
This is true, it infuriates me the amount of people that go on, about the issues which are few and far between. I had a major service done in november by a well known Indy and the service and price were excellent! I still havent really had a proper drive out in it yet 140 on christmas day on a private road was as brave as i have managed to be, but the Porsche Museum is calling at some point! Enjoy your new toy!
Cheers & yes, would love to visit the museum at some point too!

Box is a Touareg, my worst purchase ever.....
Thanks westy,
This interior, lovely combination of Oyster/Black Dakota Leather and dark ash high gloss wood trim.
It horrifies me to think what my kids would do to that interior.Thanks westy,

Lot of car for circa 20K. Just enjoy it and don't worry about possible issues or the fun of ownership will be tarnished.Cheers, have read up quite a bit on the issues, rather not read anymore now otherwise I'll never sleep
Nice!
I'm with hogthrob though, the family could not be trusted....
Nah, my kids are banned from sticky or oily foods in my car, simple!
My Merc interior was spotless when traded in, little eating and regular valeting saw to that.
It's leather in the end so a wipe clean with a light leather cleaning spray.
Cheers

This is my ride - never thought I'd be Mondeo man - well, in a manner of speaking - this is a Ford Fusion, which is the North American/Canadian version of the Mondeo back home. This is the Sport, it has a 3.5lt V6 coupled with a six speed automatic and AWD. It has a good turn of speed and a lovely rumble when you fire it up
Rear view with my Veterans plate
Something sturdy for the day-to-day while the wife and I look for something fun for the weekends.
It's actually qute fun with a 4.0 V6 and LSD.
That looks cool! Reminds me of a modern version of the car in Back to the future!Something sturdy for the day-to-day while the wife and I look for something fun for the weekends.

Trucks and Utes all the way down here, great wagon for the beach run, ski fields, tiki tour and the trips to the dump on the weekend:)
and the Audi in the background for alternative speeds
That's a beauty Nick, I have always been a fan of the 911 ever since I was a kid. I will definitely own one one day.A rough 'n ready pic of new car, collected today. Already fallen in love with it! Longing for some decent weather now.
