I've had 2 previous 911s so knew what to expect but even so it's been a revelation getting back into a flat 6.
Nothing quite like the noise, feel & poise of a rear engined car like these.
Very special & 100% the right car for me after 14 Z4s.
Anyone thinking of following the same path my advice would be to study hard , get as much information on the cars as you can then form your own opinion instead of simply reading the negative Internet & magazine articles that offer little in worth or value to anyone seriously considering one.
Yes there will be donkeys out there but do your homework , search hard & you will find there are plenty of genuine well kept examples at very reasonable money.
yep, liking those boys. 
Looking good gents 8) :driving:
Ive always wondered where the location Mr Wilks goes to for his pics was.
The only thing I can see is a sign saying victoria mill.
I take it that this is an old mill that has been refurbed. It is very well kept, not a weed in sight. Surprised you can get so close to it to for pics.

The whole area is known as the Weavers triangle in Burnley , approx 20yrs ago lottery fund gifted £300k to start refurb off with a small hotel development on the canalside , it was started then the developer went bust but had already had the moneyNictrix said:
another 7/8 yrs left derelict until the council purchased & created a learning centre / college along with a few offices & a car park . This closed 3-4 yrs later & now there are a glut of well preserved buildings in a prime location just stood empty barring a few small business offices .
Down the line i can see it becoming housing of some sort with maybe a few bars / shops but no sign of it happening , so for now it makes a ideal backdrop for car pics
Thanks for that. It does look a nice place. One of the pics looks like it might have been a row of houses for whoever worked in the mill.mr wilks said:The whole area is known as the Weavers triangle in Burnley , approx 20yrs ago lottery fund gifted £300k to start refurb off with a small hotel development on the canalside , it was started then the developer went bust but had already had the moneyNictrix said:

Yea most probably were weavers cottages at one point , the back side of them overlook the canalside & it was this part that should have been the hotel rooms . Pic here shows the opposite side https://www.instagram.com/p/Bjb6R2alCa6/
