A mans car

[The Doc]

Who is our man there?

I looked up the number 01793 615888 so I'll give him a call when you give me a name - if you don't know anuone there then NP I'll start from scratch!

I have been looking hard for one that is for sale!

Be quick before it goes PLS

[Matt555]

Give Tim a shout, he'll do his best to sort you out.............

Good luck 

[The Doc]

I'll call him in the morining.

Do you know any more on the spec of this motor?

[Matt555]

No idea of the spec boss, but it's a TURBO so what else to think of 

Just been reading EVO, worth a read before you go shopping........  The Lambo might just have the edge, but if I were spending 100K then I'd have to look at a 430 Fezza........

[Matt555]

I've told him to expect a call from you Doc.....  I didn't know your name so just mention that you're 'the Doc' LOL.....

[The Doc]

Thanks for your input - I tend to buy the cars I like or need to "research" rather than ones that EVO or anyother mag / person etc tells or thinks I should buy, after all I earned it so I must have the say on what I get right? Plus for all I know you cold be a 15 yr old kid reading your dads car mags 

The reason I want the 997 turbo is for playing with as well as "playing" with and I think the spec is to me very important - but hey ho thats just me -I have no good reason to buy a lambo or a ferrari but thanks anyhow 

Back on subject I just returned from work and called but the place shuts at 5pm!

I'll call 'em again in the morning on my way to a test day with Land Rover at their Gaydon test site where I'll be driving the new RRS SuperC'd HST on the Land Rover off road test site / on road / around a test track.

[Matt555]

Have you called yet?

There's nothing wrong with using a respected car mag to get info fella!!  I can't imagine to many people an get out there and drive everything they want too....  It's information, and information is good when your about to spend big bucks on a motor........... 

If you want a motor to play about with then the 996 911 GT2 is a fantastic one to tune up.  With a little ECU work you can easily crack 500bhp, and with really strong residual you'd not feel any great pain after a year........

A RRS off road!!!!!!!!!!  Now that's a first 

There's ony one proper LR  and that's a V8 Safari    4 months driving them down the Falkland Islands was simply awesome 

Let us know how you get on............

[The Doc]

....their closed on Sundays. 

Info is one thing but I dont base what I buy on car mags as its down to the tester i prefair to get in the car and find out for myself and I have driven my mates 997t and I love it plus we need 1 for research!

LR was a great day out - the RRSport S/C HST looks and drives very well for a large off roader - after the track drive and the off road sections I wanted one there and then but on the road test it just wasn't fast enough 

Fuel economy was 5.3 around town and I got it up to 8.4 on the motorway - not that I mind too much but you must have to fill up daily!

Never mind

I called the Porker center this morning and seeing as it was only 35 mls from Gaydon I thought I'd nip over there when I had finished at LR but they were closed.  I have also located one in Stratstones of Wilmslow which is far more local but I'll speak to both dealers in the morning to see what price and specs the cars have 

Thanks for your help!

[Matt555]

That's strange!!!!!!  I've been down to the dealer on Sundays before? 

Just called to find out that they stopped opening on sundays sometime back.......  I wish I never had to work Sundays!!!!

Good luck.

[The Doc]

Yes, strange but true...

I have spoken to Tim today and he said the demo would not be available until Jan / Feb next year and that he is going to see the DP to sort out my price! In the mean time I have found one localy and I'm going to drive it in the next few days...

Thanks for your help! 

Next the really hard one! Who can I get to supercharge my R32?
