Evening all. Just wanted to do a proper intro, after an initial hiccup where I hadn't appreciated the closed nature of the forum and my first post was a for-sale ad for some 991 parts.
I know a small handful of folk on here, including Nick who has cling'd a few toys for me some time back, including a low-ish mile CSL and the 1M that replaced it. Naturally I managed to sell both at completely the wrong time, but enjoyed my time in each.
I've kept a couple of BMW M models in the stable, but still feel like the E46 M3 is amongst the best drivers' cars ever built (at today's values) and can be an absolute bargain if found in well maintained condition.
Have been lucky to have some nice Porsches over the years, including a 987 spyder as well as 991 GT3 (LHD car with 918 buckets). That said, am addicted to 993s, having owned a C2S and C4S in the past. Once again, managed to sell before prices rocketed before realising I wanted another. So picked up a leggy manual C2 coupe a couple of years ago which has become a labour of love (bare metal respray, RS-inspired interior return, engine refresh, plus some choice upgrades inspired by the experience of others). Am nearly done with it, and it's one of my favourite cars of all time despite not being 100% factory original.
Anyway, I must confess that I haven't been out on track much, other than experience day invites from BMW as well as some PalmerSport days organised as client events from work. Would v much like to get some track experience and driver training, so that'll be the mission for 2017.
The forum seems like a fantastic meeting place for like-minded folk, and I'm proud to know some of the members on here already.
Hoping to make a contribution and will get some pics of the machinery up if that would be of interest !
