You pull a bird she asks what do you drive before you finish she has walked off, it will be great to take it out on meets or the odd track day but that's it. The 911 will never be out of place anywhere....
If the women you talk to are only interested in your car then I'd walk away from her, shallow, money grabbing, blonde bimbet I should think!

that was one example I wouldn't buy one unless it was a lot cheaper than 50k, the skyline gtr looks a much better car to be honest

Cool

Brand loyality is sometimes more important to a purist then money alone
never stopped the purists paying 40 k for a 22b 12 years ago
it's. Bargain

And good luck selling it when the warranty runs out.

Already know of one guy who is looking at a 2007 model, about to run out of warranty, for £38k

My mate has just blown the engine up in his after turning up the wick

He owns a successful import business 10 mins from here, so its not to much trouble to have another engine sent over, but its not what we were expecting.

40 k for 22bthats crazy you can pick one up now starting 18k to 25k and thats a clean one. it held is value pretty well but i still think its too much money for what it is.

40 k was for brand new one in 1998/9
the P1 was 32k and lots of purists specced then up
WR 1 was 30 k and the RB320 was 33k I think
whatever price they are some purists to the marque will pay it

Has anyone ordered one yet ?
I need one at the
NBO 8
as the long suffering misses won't let me have one

This is the 1st biggest thing that Cosworth has done in years and it's going to cost a pretty penny that's for sure. And I bet in after this is out Ford will want to put there name back on the map with Cosworth! So who said motor sport is dying and cosworth is dead ?

I bet June will be July and even August!

They say september. but..... I dont think this is a real date. the guy at Subaru thought the new wide body sti would be around the 30k mark when out next year.. £5 short of £50k is too much IHO. And they wont have one in the dealership for me to try before I buy.. I'm going to wait for the wide body I think

Exactly what I was thinking. Subaru are all in all a bit of a joke in the UK right now.

Why? Building four a week starting from June with rumours of only ten or so left left, would mean delivery if ordered now for later in the year?!

If indeed that many have been sold I would say September is about right, possibly going into the first week of October.

So they want you to pay a deposit for a car that you haven't even seen the spec of, and presumably if you back out they keep the deposit! And they can't even tell you when they are going to deliver it after you have paid the deposit! Details were supposed to be released in March, now June! I wouldn't be rushing to knock down their door with the scant info provided even if I did have the money!
