[Closed] 20 year wait

christ. How much have you spent?

My whole life I've been gagging to be a Singletrack lifetime subscriber, and as of 3 minutes ago I am one.

I always wanted to be able to fart louder than any of my mates. Its taken a lot of practice, dedication and commitment, but I like to think it was worth all the years of effort

Intrigued as to what it is, that it needs to be shipped in !

When I was ickle I had one of these:

And from then on I always wanted a silver Porsche with a big spoiler.

Congratulations.

I can't say I waited all my life for my Porsche but it was a joyous day when I got mine (aged 44). One of the first Cayman's in 2007. Still have it and it brings a smile to my face everytime I get into it. Fabulous cars superbly well made.

What did you get ?

Enjoy.

How many bikes could you have bought with the money? 😯

I dream of one day owning a Porch.

Just have to make do with my Vestibule for now. 😥

All I want is a power kite to call my own.

Congrats. None of the links worked for me so I remain just a plain old P

I could display my ceramic poppy in the window

*sighs*

I so envy your vestibule as I stand in the rain fumbling for my keys 🙁

If you're not fussy about which Porche you can just about get one on Bangernomics! It might end up looking like this more regularly than one fresh off the boat, though. It's probably actually cheaper than the porch perchy's after. Less dry, though.

fumbling for my keys

Haven't heard it called that before.

I don't tend to wait for anything. I would have bought the Porsche 20 years ago with a massive loan.

The way I see it is I would have had 20 years more use out of it that you ever will. Plus there is a chance you could actually be dead before you get to the 20 years...

Haven't heard it called that before.

Honest, that's what I'm doing. The other pocket has the hole in it....

Honest, that's what I'm doing

Jingle, jangle.....

"[i]None of the links worked for me so I remain just a plain old P[/i]"

Lifers still only get a "P".

Sorry to be the barer of bad news, but it's just a car. A nice car yeah, but just a car. Perhaps i'm a bit jaded, or maybe because i'm lucky enough to actually get paid to drive nice cars, but what i think people actually want when they say "I want a Ferrari" is the Ferrari lifestyle, ie the private jet, large house in Surrey, yacht in the Med, Supermodel wife etc.

Just having a Ferrari, but with a normal lifestyle is just like having a Golf, but a lot less practical....... 😆

the willy waving has begun and you haven't got it yet, congrats:)

Hats off to Maxtorque for pissing on the OPs chips. There was no need for that 🙁

Well done OP - I hope you enjoy your new car 🙂

To not be as miserable as maxtorque

*tick*

If I was in the market for a bargain Porsche I'd look at the Boxster, still a great car and history has shown unloved Porsches eventually become classics. Origonal Audi TTs are great value too, lots of mint examples still about.

I've always wanted a porsche, but then I married a very lovely practical and thrifty lady.

I think I did well to convince her to get a used 320d 😡

I'd love to have a Porsche, wish I had the money for one! What did you get???

Anyway, did get a new bike last week so not complaining 8)

Back to the OP, Not really planned, as I wasn't aware it was possible until it was mentioned in a thread in here.

When I were a lad I had a poster of a spitfire that you coloured in yourself. My dad made a load of copies so I had all sorts of different colour schemes and I've loved spitfires since.

I'm going up in a 2 seat one and possibly having a wiggle of the stick (fnar fnar) in July. Can't actually find the words to describe how excited I am.

Have fun OP! I'm intruigued, does it have the steering wheel on the right side?

As Jamba said, they're beautifully put together but as has also been said, it's just a car with the usual car bills - but probably a bit bigger.
I have to deal with the, almost, perfect storm of needing new tyres, pads and disks on mine in the next couple of weeks.
*sigh*

history has shown unloved Porsches eventually become classics.

What did you get then ?

I'm close to buying a 997 S2.

Wanted one since about 1985 when my neighbour used to drive me to college in his. He let me have a go in it once and I stalled it about 5 times. It had the old style pedals which hinged from the bottom up.

Always wanted a Ferrari.....

@allthepies - was maxtorque in Oasis?

After 20 years I don't know what... A car probably won't make a difference

How about a power kite?

Hope you have the same sense of humour that the Cayman owner who passed my wife had.

If it'll bring you happiness, I'd be delighted too.

Who needs a Porsche eh? 😀

Honestly it won't fit a bike and I walk to work

I've waited 20 years for a penis reduction operation,have you seen the length of the waiting list? oh and my penis.

Nice to treat yourself. Me I have a Golf not because it matches my life style though.

I completed my last life goal in 1998 when I finally got around to eating directly off a hog roast.

Car wise a 1969 429 Boss Mustang would be nice, but getting such a rare car just so I could peel out elevens outside maxtorque's house at four o' clock in the morning, every morning, seems like an extravagant waste.

OP and MaxTorque - cars like this are completely irrational and illogical but ..OP. I hope it lives up to your expectations and you enjoy every minute..

Sorry to be the[s] barer[/s]bearer of bad news, but it's just a car. A nice car yeah, but just a car.

I agree, once you have a family and house, the car becomes very much an after thought, but hey enjoy it...hope its a 911 turbo! 8)

I'm not a big fan of cars, find them a bit boring as there isn't much variation in the actual mechanics of how an ICE works. There's only really so much you can do with bodywork too, in that it needs doors, somewhere for the engine and drivetrain to go etc. There are some nice cars out there, but 99.9% seem a bit samey.

Having said that, I fully appreciate most people feel the same way about bicycles, but I love them!

So, good on you OP, hope the Porker brings you joy!
