I've been driving convertibles for over seven years now, 90% of the time with the roof down, and I've never been hit with bird poo or fag ends or anything. I've only ever had a proper soaking twice in all that time too, as I didn't bank on other traffic stopping while it was raining that hard

There is no feeling in the world when driving that compares with dropping the roof on either a very cold or very warm night, cranking the stereo and nailing the throttle. Even cruising down the motorway becomes a proper adventure rather than just another journey.

Do it. You'll never regret it, promise. If you're worried about it then buy a mk3 MR2 as a cheapy car to try. Mid-engined so a bit different, you won't get the gay label that an MX-5 (wrongly) comes with, and it's comfy enough with minimal rattles. I wouldn't be without a convertible in my house, and the second the missus gets rid of her MR2 I'll have to seriously consider either getting a cheapy droptop or swapping the 911 for one without a roof.

Walk around the car and you'll see about 4 different shades of colour where the different materials are next to each other, perfectly normal. I used to have the exact same thing on my old car. Don't buy the car because of the next owner, buy it because you like it. Personally I love the Temper Orange, but if you like it that's all that matters as it's your money after all!

No need for flash, too many distracting images on here as it is IMHO. What do you want flash for anyway? Avatar, sig, or just a particular link you want to share?

Done and done

I'd like to see reviews for all at 10 year intevals tbh. As good a driver as I am ( ), even I know I'm not perfect.

Any numpty can fit an exhaust, go somewhere local with a good rep.

have you just watched repo man as well? Nope, I was thinking more Schrodinger, never seen Repo Man

Is it a cat that may or may not be dead?

Possibly a few quid, probably a lot of quids Depends on what kind of asbestos it is really, some stuff is worse than others. I wouldn't take anything out yourself until you know for sure though.

Had it here for a few months now

With all due respect, those are some seriously chavvy looking wheels anyway, but by putting the green on them they stand out from the Halfrauds crowd a bit more.

That actually looks pretty good

I don't think there's enough wheel (in terms of spokes and size of them) to go black, and white isn't going to work either IMHO. Tbh I actually like the idea of a fluorescent green, would certainly liven the car up externally.

The 370Z has definitely grown on me: I hated it when it first came out, but now it looks quite nice. I wouldn't say it's better looking than either the Cayman or the TT though, but aesthetics are very personal.

Of course it doesn't, but I can think of half a dozen other reasons not to want one other than the fact it's got a couple of removable seats

Well it seems a daft reason to not want one of the most iconic sports cars in the world, but it's your call.

But if you don't need a 4-seater, then surely it's not a issue?

Ever tried sitting in the back of a 911? Trust me, they really ain't four seaters I've pulled the rear seats out of mine already, I've no kids so no use for them at all and would rather have the storage space.

No mouseover reveals please, they're bloody awful and horrendously irritating when trying to quickly scan down through a page and this horrible pop-up keeps blocking text you're actually trying to read. Absolute pet hate on interweb forums

I loved my K1 and would've kept it, but it was no good for track stuff

Me too

It's a better handling car than current 911s too, not just older ones. It really is that good.

Cayman S if money isn't an issue. Its by far the better car, but then it should be for the money. Assuming Sarnie is right on the £35K budget, I'd be getting a 997.1 of some description too though.
