Realistic question. Do you think we're in an air-cooled bubble right now? I can't make heads or tails of the Porsche market. They're all $$. A 996 turbo is looking like a great deal despite water cooled. Been that way for a few years.

996 is probably the best value Porsche 911 you can get atm.
If you decide to get one, be sure to change the IMS bearing, better safe than sorry.

Don't know why all the vitriolic remarks towards Chris Harris. I think he comes over as good presenter, knowledgeable and a good driver too !

Got to say, I find him way too shouty and overbearing too. I'm not saying he doesn't know his stuff, but it's a bit like Kevin Spacey. Good actor but not a great role model!

Very nice p/w.

But not as good as me on my Bimota.

And how much is it in Oz......

ps. Not a fan of the old or the new TG presenters.

You just created this account to post this as your first comment. By coincidence I see you have the same watch as DuncanInLeeds. Welcome to TRF, I guess?

Tesla can't even handle the model 3 production and they already announce new models. Musk is living in a dream methinks..

This is actually the "standard" Singer 4.0 motor...but they are all something else! It's easily my favorite car I've ever had (not that specific car however).

Yep you're right now that I do some research. My friend got all excited when he saw the car at the show and told me it was the new motor. Usually he's right about these kinds of things. I'll be sure to pistol whip him next time I see him

Quilted leather engine compartment liner. I swear to Feck I took a pic of those Tag chronographs but I'm not seeing them in my album Car geek and WIS worlds collided and I can't find a pic! Sheet!
