I still have a lot of time for the 987.2 S which has some very tasteful mods to make it an exceptional road car with track capability.
Wavetrak LSD, GT3 front and Cayman R suspension arms all around, GT3 brakes with Girodiscs, PDK cooler. Cobb tune, uprated engine mounts, PASM Bilstein B8's with Cayman R springs and roll bars etc
Having driven many 911s, I really prefer the mid engined balance (hence owning a Mclaren, MR2, Exige and Cayman). If I needed a daily useable sports car with 2 seats I would consider a 992 Turbo S but right now I prefer my GTR.

It's been awhile since this was updated, the garage is now full to overflowing to the extent plans applied for a new one. Things have escalated a bit and a V12, V10, V8 NA, V8 turbo x 2, V8 supercharged, V6 supercharged, V6 NA, I6 and 2 x flat 6 make up the fleet.
Having never intended to become a hoarder, I'll probably start thinning them out a bit but in reality they do all drive quite differently with various nuances which keep it interesting.

So, the big question. Which keys do you instinctively go for if you want to go for a fun drive out?

I would say the big question is; are you a stock broker, a footballer, or a drug dealer? There are way over a million quids worth of cars there.beanie wrote: Sun Oct 06, 2024 10:39 pm So, the big question. Which keys do you instinctively go for if you want to go for a fun drive out?
Makes me feel a total failure TBH. So thanks for that OP.

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

I agree; it is.
He does only ever post on the forum to update us plebs on his 'supercars' these day, though.

Car should be used regularly to keep them healthy. It’s a service I include with the storage.
