Sorry to hear about your loss m3 was lovely.
Porkers nice. I'm not very knowledgable on 911's so unsure what the specs are, but it bet its great to drive.

So now onto the garage queen ..... My dream car has always been a Porsche 911, my mum knew this and was always buying me bits and bobs related to the 911, telling me one day she would buy me a real one.
So with the money from the M3 and some money from my inheritance I started scouting for 911's in my price range, with the stipulation set by my dad that it won't ever be used on tracks. I also added, due to the nature of the meaning of the car, that I won't ever sell it.
Eventually settled on the one below. It's a 2001 3.6 996 Carrera manual in Basalt metallic black with Graphite Grey leather interior. It's on 47k, and the last owner had it for 5 years, and in that time hasn't skimped on keeping it running It's by no means perfect, well not in my terms Needs a damn good clean, which will have to wait until it cools down abit, then I'll ship it off to Rich for a detail/ correction similar to what Ed had done on his Boxster when I can get booked in
Thanks for looking

I used to see your VXR quite a bit in Hemel and wondered as it had been a while if you had sold it Andy!
That brought a tear to my eye as my own father passed away beginning of April this year, and I think it is absolutely wonderful of your Mum to leave you some money knowing you would be able to afford your dream car bless her. You now have your memories and a lush car to remind you of her, which is worth more than any amount of money IMO xxxx

I picked it up and as I was driving home a 997 Turbo pulled up next to me at the lights

You were lucky to spot the VXR as it was very rarely ever out

I think I'm more recognisable in a crappy blue/purple corsa than I am in the porsche
