I agree I am either fussy or down right old fashioned! 

Pretty much all the reviews I have read have said how well the gearbox matches the engine so its only because I am a luddite and lust after a 997 GT3 coupled to a lovely manual gearbox.

I was joking that the fire bit was irrelevant.

This is my friends old car http://www.jzmporsche.com/porsche-for-s ... r-sale-526

When he sold it to them they put it up for £100k a few months ago

They now want £116k

Values are going up on gen 2 cars probably cos they are manual it would seem

He was an ex racer and I've been flung around the LeMans circuit bouncing across the kerbs in that car on slicks and it was awesome!!!!

Its an absolute beast for sure and I need to lose my obsession for the old fashioned way I think!

[pvr]

No you don't. It was boring to drive because of it, so I can not wait to really "drive" one instead of just pressing buttons ….

[quote="535dboy"]
That's the one they are lending me in a couple of weeks for 3 days!!

Taking it on a jolly to Gloucester.

Agree on lights, obviously they are the best wheels though. Much better than the fuddy duddy ones on the 50th anniversary one.

Other friends 50th anniversary turned up last week, I told them you could wait for yours.

IT-when I have it I'll come pick you up for a dirty weekend. I've just come back from Anglesey then
Chester with the lawyer so it must be your turn next

this one?

Cheers pvr  I like the voice of reason and I am happy to be part of the enjoyable and rewarding camp rather than the sit back and feel detached camp.
