Should I buy a used Porsche 911 and drive through Europe?

They are about to release new one - 911, so 997 is as good as old but I agree it looks like there is a good reason why it is easily 25k more than oldie 996.

Don't forget your private reg to hide the age. Only £455.

I bought 3 yesterday, sadly they can only be put on cars made in 2012.

I guess I might be getting 911 turbo 991 in 2020.

Signed 12 month rental on my flat today - hope THAT does not fall through

I'm previewing the new 991 designation 911 next week. Couldn't get to an earlier one I was offered in PC Cambridge. Will report back.

Thus I declare minsky1 to be the only true contractor on this board - the rest are either delusional permies or walter mitty fantasists or successful business owners. There are also mods and an admin. Some of those groups may be present in more than one types listed above.

I'm the only one that can afford 10 x 997 Turbos and then have change for two of your bedsits.

Only 5 if your wife decide to divorce you, but we both know that the only reason she doesn't do it is because you spent all your time posting tulip on CUK while she spends your money

The ideal car for this sort of thing is something like an Audi RS4.

Indeed. If you stick to the motorways you don't need to worry about people not letting you out of T-junctions.

YES! If you are even thinking it, do it. I am planning ten days around Switzerland, France and Italy in may half term in the lotus. Screw comforts, it's all about the driving pleasure. Come, join me!!! Already two porkers and myself coming! But expect to lose out on attention to the lotus,porkers are oh so common on the continent!!

well lads,

working from home today,

doing a half day and then

after lunch a mate is coming over and we're taking me pathfinder to Hintertux via Innsbruck, will be passing Munchen on the way too

meeting the advance party down there

I love driving across europe

I don't need a porsche, a big high 4x4 is plenty enough for comfortable travelling with loads of space for family and children and bags in the cavernous boot and unstoppable

Milan.
