only problem with that is you would be lucky to get 20% of the costs back when it comes to selling.

I'd be happy with the standard V8 R8

I think there is now an R8 V8 Spyder...

this morning the dilema continues after speaking to one of my friends who has spent a lot of time tracking 997 GT3 & RS's.

Still wondering what to do although last nights bill at one stage was looking so large that i thought ""f*** this, I'm having a lambo!". Fortunately that was just the "research trip"!!!

Going to speak to both today and go and see my local dealers to see what they think about them etc.

An there was a cracking R8 come up yesterday!

Peter, i reckon as you have one, I should get something else so we can swap when the occassion arises

Can you pass the details of the cracking r8 onto me if you are not going down that route, I have an itch that needs scratching soon

If your are going to greypauls porsche in Edinburgh speak to Andrew maxwell, he is one of the salesmen there and a top bloke and will look after you. I work with his brother so mention my name and I'm sure he will give you a massive discount!

haha! I know him, but he's got no stock of interest unfortunately.

just been told of a 997 Gt3 RS at good money, with 6k on the clock - sounds like a compromise

Lol, Andy I was going to suggest that we car share but you have to buy all the tyres based on our differing driving styles.. End of the rack and back indeed!!
