Wingnonut Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 So I went to see Tom at 911V and the red CR. Car was everything I wanted it to be and everything you lot said it would be. It definitely felt more than a slightly lighter S. Felt really special in the way a GT3 does to a certain extent. Would have bought there and then if between us we could have got the numbers to work. Still hopeful a deal can be done but if that one goes then at least I know it was not a daft idea. Just how often do Red manuals come up! And don’t worry. Current plan is the Boxster goes and the 911 stays for now. Which begs the question....... June’s Euro trip...... IB or CR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busybee Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Brilliant mate. I’d say pretty damn rare a red R. Most seem to be white or black. If you get the R, I have a feeling you will use the IB very little for quite some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haway man get your super dupa negotiating skills on the go and get it bought. All dealers like to end the week with a nice fruity sale and you could be blasting round the local roads all weekend Bribes of beer and biscuits - whatever it takes! does this help?

786 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 you guys have nice roads over there so cars like these make more sense. over here spending $50k on a used "slow" car is a tough sell. certainly people out there who buy them but CR's sit a loong time at dealers.

Its entirely up to you - we are a broad church. Gordon will be 997TT. I will be 987 (or maybe another noughties car). Fraser will be ??? The majority though will be IBs. Personally, I love seeing other cars pushed to the limit and how they move with the road, how the suspension works, how they sound and how they put power down, etc. I habitually lead the group, but enjoy following for these reasons. For exactly those selfish reasons, bring whatever car you like as far as I am concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR "Slow"?! Bloody hell. Don't you guys need 5 litres to pull out the garage over there? 1 minute ago, Richard Bernau said: Its entirely up to you - we are a broad church. Gordon will be 997TT.

He did say that the CR was easily capable of handling a lot more power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
