You're 100% correct in assuming that I'd love your 997 MkII! I own a 996 and I've had to take it to the upholstery shop to remove padding from the driver's seat. Also looked into the Euro spec GT3 centre console delete to make some room for my right knee. Driving my 911 (as opposed to my E30s) I have to be super weary…
Hahahaha man Land Rover ownership sure is something... I loved spotting kneeling Gen 2 Range Rovers around town when I was young. The new ones seem to get better though. After having some issues with his original Range Rover, my dad has now put 200,000 kms on his second Land Rover, an RRSport in the last 10 years (he…
Too. 6'6"
RRSport here,... seen the HDC Fault and air suspension drop way too many times.
So I've heard. I test drove a 1981 SC, black with the Weissach package (fogs, Fuchs, black trim, whaletail) and loved the experience but my tall frame didn't agree with the tiny tiny cabin. Slamming the 915 in 1st gear was nearly impossible while my knee banged into the dash constantly. It was awful. Maybe one day,…

Vancouver, BC. There was some mention of a machine shop, but the owner was surprised that it went that route. Just lots of bits and bobs that were refreshed. I couldn't believe my ears. Beautiful dark blue 993 4S tho, but not worth it haha.
I just got a reality check on what it takes to keep these air cooled 911s afloat. I was sitting at my Porsche shop as a guy walks in to pay the bill on a major service on his 993 4S. $19,000. For what sounded like little things here and there. We were all stunned. But since the guy behind the till had delivered this…
I've been told that purely in terms of IMS concerns, you're better off going for a higher mileage 911 than a lower mileage garage queen. All I know is, it better be. I have a very high mileage 996 that hasn't had it addressed.
That's Josh Cartu's BAC Mono. He lives in Budapest and had this custom MONO delivered to him just last month. He's a Ferrari Corsa driver and a regular on the Gumball 3000. Owns a Ferrari F12 Novitec, a 458 Speciale, and a RR Phantom LWB.
In other news, he's selling his E30 M3 Sport Evolution. And in other other news, he owns some wicked cars. http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/garage-sale-ch…
It doesn't.
The legendary LP670-4 Super Veloce. Personal favorite.
I paid quite a bit more than $15k for mine but it was worth it. Original sticker was $146,xxx. Canadian car. I bought it off the second owner for less than a third. Have owned it for nearly a year already and put a smidge under 20,000 kms on it this summer.
A friend's dad who lives in Germany had a Mercedes S400 Hybrid in brown/gold. It was his company ride. After about two years he got the BMW 6-Series Grand Coupe which he enjoys much better.
If you like him, here's more of him…
The i8 looks great in black. That's all I've got to contribute.
When I was a young boy in Europe I was once passed on my bicycle by a blonde lady in a red Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale. The year was 2004 and I heard that exhaust howl for what seemed like minutes as she shifted up through some twisty countryside roads.
A stunner!! Any comments on the electric steering or turbo-lag with what you've experienced and own prior to the M235i? I've test driven one myself a while back and having owned a 135i M Sport a few years ago, I was 90% blown away by the M235i and 10% wanting a bit more of a raw experience. Your take?
Let's see a pic of your M235i! Congrats, by the way.
