Wow JR
Not much room for the boxes of Millers that I've seen you carrying !!
A daily driver, yep no point having it if you're only using it occasionally, You could keep the RS tho koz it can't be worth that much now :lol: !!
My wife keeps saying about having a fun car before ......R.I.P...... would this be classed as a fun car ?

Not that I want to feed the fire, BUT... I sat with John all day yesterday and managed to catch him browsing a porsche tuning catalogue that Kim had.

Oh and BTW my journey home was <beep> great...

John,

I gave Kim a number before for a chap who deals in Porsche wheels(I got my genuine 996 turbo wheels for the S3 from him back in the day)with big savings over Porsche list price.
I've pm'd you his details.

Cheers

John, you might also like to call Gert at carnewal.com.
If he can save you money he will, and will also do a little extra if your prepared to go collect.
As a guide I saved enough money on some of my porker bits to more than cover the cost of a weekend in Ghent, meaning the wife and I got a nice weekend away, and we picked the bits up on the way home :thumbs:

For some parts he will even fit them (suspension & exhausts for example).
Too many toys, not enough time
