I’m going to bid on this
Crazy I know but I’ve watched enough mat Armstrong to know it could be possible to fix without the dealership prices

Very best of luck.....

And as a side note. I love the Mat Armstrong story. I also love that he, his dad, and his mates (I mean co-workers) spend so much time being fools....

[Brian]

@Giles how much is just for content as opposed to work I have no idea but idiocy aside with them in the videos it has shown quite an eye opening side of what’s possible

And then watching / listening to the cars and money podcast and hearing how much they actually make from you tube in revenue no wonder they are able to do what they do

@Brian does it come with the drugs and guns…

[Brian]

@Matt hopefully

R u really gonna bid on it? @goosehd and I talk all the time about faking our deaths to run away from home (not necessarily together) so that we can buy Porsches without our wives getting up our asses.

I am although I doubt my budget will be able to get it but it’s a repairable writeoff so who knows what price it might fetch
Have put some ducks in a row and have a purchase budget so will wait and see only tricky bit is it being on the other side of the country so would need transport it back which shouldn’t be a problem

I’ve not mentioned it to the wife at all

This is where the drugs and guns come in...

I can’t even imagine having a life in which I could make serious preparations to buy a Porsche without consulting my wife. I did everything wrong.

Bit of GT3 fun at the Red Bull Ring (Present from my wife )

@Chap ...you didn't happen to notice that as she kept encouraging you to go faster that the brakes were fading quite quickly?

Edit: What an awesome present!!

I did the Porsche driving experience here in Atlanta in 2015 for my birthday present with a “lowly” Carrera S but it was still a blast.

Some of the mint cars were just incredible…

Fantastic! They made great cars back then. I had a 991.1 GTS that time. Amazing car, still can't believe I sold it. None of what came afterwards was as good.

Brakes? What are brakes?

The rounds with the instructors were pretty close to vomiting, I had a severe dizziness afterwards. They brake just milliseconds before the curve and are immediately back on full power. It is amazing what youn can do with those cars if you know how to do it.

Funny thing, I immediately picked up on the inflection, and facetiousness in her voice...

I'm glad I'm no longer married...
