GranTurismoEra Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 Yeah that's nice, as soon as it landed I'd swap out that steering wheel for the sport one and add some minimal ambient lighting. I think these 991 gen have bottomed out in the 40s for now. Looks like it's missing the exhaust button. On the Caymans it's just pops and bangs and a tiny bit more volume. I couldn't tell the difference aside from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 Speaking of preferences 😉 @The Bounty Bar KidJessica Lawrence nah once you've seen it, you've seen it all. Now since the 370Z is a poor man's 599. How about an actual 599 converted to gaited manual. "Gimme me numbers". 😎. Apparently they were available to order in manual but people mostly ordered flappy paddles. Only 30 or so were bought and all GTBs apparently. Manual command 5 times the price. Can be converted and sold at profit... Anywho back to my financial lane! https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-spottedykywt/manual-converted-ferrari-599-for-sale/48028 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTurismoEra Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 (edited) All good because 599 and insane 599XX are one of my favourite Ferraris aside from Testarossa and Enzo. Edited January 8 by GranTurismoEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTurismoEra Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 leaning towards the F-Type V8 AWD tbh. Because with Porsche once you start its addictive i think. Can get one after im done with brutish, loutish noise and excess consumption and speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 (edited) Lol £2300 for insurance on F type. When I paid £900 on the Z. It's falling under JLR Range Rover. One of the most stolen in London. Z is still around same price so are Caymans except GTS and above lol. Old GTRs are also coming up the similar to Cayman S and cheaper the 718 GTS. Nissan Z - £866 Porsche Cayman 981 S - £900 Cayman S 718 - £950 GTR - £1000 Cayman GTS - £1400 F Type V8 - £2300 15 years license 14 years no claims no points...38 yo based on London. It is what it is. GTR usually fit in group 50 insurance but 50 has a lot of sub categories. Only thing I can think of is JLR thefts and value combined..

Fortunately no one's looking at the JDMs unless they're R3* or Supras 💀 Accidents are common too. Traveller gangs. They catch them send them to the hotel for 6 years then the gang leader replaces them with new members...all the way from north London to Hampshire it's the same gang...also near A40/M40........BBC documentary said it's an endless cycle.

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) 42yo, licence for 24 years. 14 years no claims bonus. 0 points. 9000 miles a year. 981 Cayman S - £614 When I was looking around for what car to buy, I did look at some of those cars and it was definitely cheaper than those prices, even if I took into account the price increases from last year to this year. I live just outside London. Location can be a dream car killer etc. Edited January 21 by The Bounty Bar Kid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 (edited) I added a few can dream cars on there. Can't believe the 4 banger Emira will cost around the same as the V6. Lol... Nissan Z - £866 Porsche Cayman 981 S - £900 Cayman S 718 - £950 GTR - £1000 Alpine A110 - £1117 Cayman GTS - £1400 Lotus Emira - £1500 GTR Facelift - £2200 F Type V8 - £2300 Edited January 23 by GranTurismoEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about them is when they go wrong its nothing less than a couple of grand. Warranty wont cover everything especially with the age. Brakes are around £2400.....but its a nice car for the summer. Wouldn't keep it long term lol... Probably level on maintenance costs vs GTR. I want the F Type but i dont fancy paying those rates for insurance lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 (edited) £700 reduction in F Type R insurance. Interesting. Anyone looking for similar car have a look at the rates. Offset by increased used car costs approaching summer Edited March 15 by GranTurismoEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 The Cayman is definitely underestimated by many. The handling is superb. I have a mate who was going for a spirited drive in his 997 Carerra 4S and his mate in a 981 Cayman S was able to keep up with him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 (edited) Reputation costs money 🤑. Soon Caymans will cost old new 911 money. Very informative video. Edited April 6 by GranTurismoEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
