The Bounty Bar Kid

Thanks Andy, Yeah I put my foot down a bit in the test drive but nothing too aggressive. Of course I'm going to be careful until I know her handling and limits better. Slowly pushing every day until I know what she's capable of. Already got a list of things to do... GAP insurance Put my old plate onto her Front 4k and rear 1080p dashcam Winter alloys and tyres Rear GTS lights Window tints Exhaust - maybe but the two I like are £3500/7000 so that might have to wait a bit. Maybe next year 🤣 Oh and I've named her Carla 😍

Yeah there's some real dodgy alloys out there. This was the only design I liked. Now to find a set I like to wrap in winter tyres.

HO train 69 it is 🤣

So your name... Is it meant to be Hot Rain 69 or Ho Train 69? 🤣

Pics from the dealer

Originally I'd done insurance quotes without knowing the registration. Said £550 extra, now I know the registration, typed it in, £297 extra over my X reg (2000) Renault Clio 1.2 8v with 59 bhp 🏆

So I got to see the car in blue and black. The blue isn't as nice as I thought it would be. Must be a different blue to the one I'd seen on another Porsche a good few years ago. Shame. Anyways, the black was stunning and enjoyed the test drive. Deposit paid. On my way back home, I suddenly went through somewhere I recognised. A pub in Ockley where we've had a 350z meet before, good times 😍

They have a blue GTS but it's reserved. Shame prices have gone up so much, otherwise I could have afforded that. They used to be 40k ish, I think and are now 50k ish.

I'd have loved a 370z Nismo before, but the Cayman is in a different league IMO and the opinion of others. If I can "level up",within reason, I'll go for it.

When I got my 350z I always wanted an azure one but they didn't do it in the HR engine so I got a black one. Didn't.stop me falling in love with it. Black is my 2nd choice. Let's see what happens when I compare the 22k miles black one with the 77k miles blue one. Sewing the blue in the flesh might convince me to wait it out.

My dad 🤣 If he had said here's 40k do want you want, I'd have put 25k into my garden as it's what I'm currently saving to get redone then put 15k into a 350z + mods. But I can't do that. Also not a fan of the TT. Especially the original one 🤮

Yeah it's just a nice to have option tbh.

I'm going to give up on finding the perfect spec. The one I'm going to see is only missing 2 things I'd like. Rear view camera and sapphire blue paint. Every other option is there.

I think I'm pretty set on a Porsche, always wanted one and the 981 s is the best I can currently afford. I'm very picky on cars. The new Supra did peak my interest, possibly only car that I might consider for the money. There were others I'd like but not sure if they're a great buy or other factors like servicing costs/tax/ insurance got in the way. Anyways I need to scratch that Porsche itch whilst I can.

Think you mean September 😝

R8 doesn't tickle my bits unfortunately. Had a look at them. V10 maybe but not in my budget

45k plus on auto trader. Looked at them already.

Probably is. But I'm not going for a turbo s. I'm going for a Cayman s.

Unfortunately the condition on the money is to use it to buy a car. Nothing else. Mods would have to come from my own money. If I spend less than 40k, I don't get to keep the difference.

Test drive booked for Saturday 😁

😍

Well I've found a great black s with low miles which I'll go look at hopefully this Saturday but they've got a much higher mileage sapphire blue one too. Although I won't get that one, if I fall in love with the blue, I might hold out until I find the perfect one.

Unfortunately I can't go that high. I've got 40k plus my car and that needs to include insurance and tax. I can chuck in a little more but that's it. Can't stretch above £42k all in.

MPG is important to a degree. I'd rather the 3.4, more fun.

Nice Camaro but what's it like round going round corners and I bet the mpg is horrendous.
