    Default Another car change, keeper this time

    So the supercharged Type R I bought wasn't really what I wanted in the end and a bit too loud, managed to get what I think was a good price for it in light of the new Type R coming out next year and it left last week leaving the money burning a hole in my pocket.





    Decided I didn't want another hot hatch so this weekend I travelled to Ireland and bought a car I've wanted for a few years. Some people will recognise it as Keith Robinson's old car so I knew it would have been looked after (although not as pampered as his Nova ) car is very well specced with all the options I would have wanted as well like Bose and factory switchable exhaust.

    Had a terrific drive home from Scotland after getting the ferry back and I'm really happy with the purchase. Got a few little things I want to do but its in great condition for a 12 year old car.



















    Hopefully keep it long term as haven't managed to keep anything for more than 18 months except the Nova.

    Cracking looking car you've bought Lee, seeings you've bought it off Keith it's bound to have been spoilt and serviced no doubt.
    Amazing to think that you've stepped up so quick from a Let Nova so quick... Fancy putting it on the stand at billing

    Brought back some memories seeing Keith's Nova though (think it could be the first i've seen since selling mine a year ago) and I can't see him bailing out of that like I did with mine.

    At least he'll have some time to concentrate on it now and hopefully get it to Billing next year.

    Nothing, I'll probably look for something else in the spring or summer. The only car to replace a 911 with is another 911

    I was expecting you'd got a maserati quattroporte

    nice motor that lee, deffo nicer than the civic

    one bit of criticism - that big ol' grab handle on the back is as big as manchester . altho i guess with all that power, you need it to keep the ass end down.

    ive always liked porsche's... even the old 356's have something special about them
