In what context

...in the context that I don’t have one.

.....I’ll get the positive comments in before, the negativity starts

Nope, can’t decide but then again i don’t need to yet as I’m keeping mine to the bitter end as it’s such a great car. Current thoughts at the moment are a 16/66 plate facelift SL400 or the Z4 and maybe aTTS, the Idea of a Boxster still appeals but worried about doing 500 miles a week in it.

There seems to be a glut of Z4 M40’s on Autotrader with £10k saving on new.

.....can you lock your own threads ?
Any developments with your car choice Sars..?

Some of you may remember my Zed getting hit whilst parked on the road outside our flat (insurance covered the £2,300 fortunately!). I spent a nervous 6 weeks with the Porsche parked in the same spot before we managed to make the jump from renting to buying. Such a relief parking it on my own driveway tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac

. Got a garage too, however thats filled floor to ceiling with boxes as we've only just moved in - will convert it to a man cave in time.

Great news Marlon.

Lucky you have a drive too - it doesn't look like your car would go through the garage door.

Nothing like having your own ‘castle’. Congratulations and the car looks superb.

Nice one, Colin. Car and house look brilliant.

What’s the background to the plate? Could be worth a bit in the Chinese detailing community!

Nice move Colin

if you struggle squeezing those hips through the opening (car not yours )

then a change of garage door install can add 150mm to the gap , i know cause i recently had the same issue

Oooh your own bricks - always a smart move in my book particularly with drive and garage
