Dynamic Turtle Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 If the wofe lets you then an elise or cayman would be great, failing that you're not going to lose anything on a Z4M unless you put silly miles on it.

Ekona Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Dan, whats the script with spoilers on the 996? I really like them but no all of them have one. Was it an option or is it a particular model? All 996 cars have at least a spoiler that rises at approx 75mph and lowers at 30mph built into the rear deck, the GT3 had a fixed wing and the Turbo a more traditional style motorised spoiler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not something I'd want the other half trying to squeeze into a Tesco parking space. Agreed. Mine doesn't actually feel much different in size on the road than my old 911, but when I tried to fit it in the garage the other week I quickly realised it does a very good job of hiding it's size! Since I've installed the bucket seat and by doing so lowered the seating position, I'm having to learn how to place the nose on corner entry again. I'll have to lift the seat back up I think when I get the Recaros in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyG8nby Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I Have been thinking on what to change the 350 for when I eventually decide to move on and the only car I keep coming back to is the 370. I have had plenty of quick thirsty cars but the 350 is a great compromise of everything, Comfy, decent on fuel and sounds great. Try and find a 370 with a few nice extras 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hensh65 Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 is it the one that's part of the GT3 aero kit you're after? This is my old one... I remember looking at this when you had bought it but I couldn't remember who is was that had it! Yes the aero kit looks to be the one that I like, not as keen on the big flap coming up but thats just IMO. I would love the M6, and again remember Kyle taking the jump but I know for a fact the misses would refuse to drive it I showed her a few last night, I thought the Porsche would have got a bad reception but apparently not! I love the Massi's but they are again pretty big, the 3200 is quite small but its not as nice looking. I think the list is currently looking like this: 911 TTRS Cayman(not sure because of the issues but I still love it) 370z(modified, will obviously need ot see whats out there come Nov) XKR I showed her a cracking SL55 but she absolutely hated it sadly!!

It is, that one is probably more for hope than anything Plus I would need to find one that isn't covered in wood/tweed and doesn't come with a monocle! TTRS is high on the list, I like the softtop, she doesn't. £18K is looking like a 59 plate with 70+miles. I am hopefully that come NOvemeber the prices might slump a little.

Ponsonby Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I went through a similar process and ended up getting a 370Z My budget was potentially higher but decided for looks, value for money and reliability it was going to be hard to beat the 370. The Auto is great. Full auto for effortless wafting town driving and then paddles for 'spirited driving'. GT Edition suspension gives a very smooth ride and soaks up the bumps in knackered roads easily. Just make sure you budget for a new exhaust. Way too quiet as standard.
