The Bounty Bar Kid

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.

Needs to be ULEZ compliant. If the expansion happens, the new edge of it will be a 3mins drive from my house. I live just outside the London area so would have to pay £12.50 each day to go into it.

Didn't know i definitely wanted a Porsche. I was thinking about a 370z before and then a 911, but realised it was too expensive. Looked at some of the other suggestions like R8, Lotus and Vantage. But so far the Cayman wins, unless someone can recommend something else.

Oh and I do know a good indy, used to on here with his Veilside 350z. I'm sure I'll contact him if I get the car.

Love the colour but bit too high mileage. Found a black one with 22k miles on the clock. But really want one in that blue.

No thanks 😊

And I wouldn't be able to afford the servicing costs 🤣
