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..

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!

😆

*untick*

Sorry, that was a bit mean, I’m Laughing at all the folk that assumed it was a 911/boxter/cayman

Nice one OP delighted you’ve managed to scratch that Itch!! Enjoy!!

Two things I’ve always fancied in terms of cars – a car with more than four cylinders, and a car with no roof. Not necessarily the same car.

I suspect the former might be cheaper to accquire in the short term mind.

Ideal >4cyl car would be maybe an A6 with the 3.0 TDI.. do they still do air suspension?

Just don’t get it with the auto……………………… ……………………………………………………….. ……………………………………………………….. ………………………………..box

They are DSG nowadays aren’t they? I like DSGs. I’d never get a luxo barge with a manual, that’s just ridiculous.

I used to have an Elise – great fun, but no good for transporting your bike in it, sadly.

Congratulations OP, one of my friends is in the process of buying one for delivery in November.

My goals are a bit more modest, to buy a house – with a garage.

I can’t complain, when some of my peers from school were settling down, doing the sensible thing, buying houses I was traveling the world and getting up to mischief, had I’d known I was going to be left broken, broke and nearly bankrupt from a perfect storm of ****-ups at 32 I might have done things differently, but I doubt it – I’ve few regrets.

Now nearly 40 I’m trying to be a ‘first time’ buyer – the good news is we’ve got 2 incomes, good jobs, a deposit so we’re not nearly as screwed as the people trying to do that same 10-20 years younger than us – but it’s still graft.

One day, years from now when the kids are grown up, I’d like something sporty – It won’t be a new Porsche, not really my thing – but I’d love something like a GT86, nice second hand one, nice but not so much money I’d been scared to use it or park it in rough parts of town where I work sometimes.

Neither is pistonheads.

Seems strange wanting a car for 20 years that didn’t even exist 20 years ago. In fact, most people probably wouldn’t have thought Porsche would even be making an SUV 20 years ago.

As good as the Macan supposedly is I was surprised that was the choice.

Good choice of manufacturer. I had a Boxster for 5 years and 70,000 miles and loved it. Well until the last year where it seemed to have a new fault appearing every month…

Fantastic achievement, well done. I too have a goal to own a 911 Turbo S at some point.

🙁

I should clarify, the spitfire I’m talking about is the one with a Merlin and wings, rather than a Canadian trail bike or a 60s triumph…

Your 20 year goal in life was to own an SUV? Its not a diesel i hope?

Each to their own I guess.

What year/engine? Audi themselves said the newer models have been remapped and there is plenty online about the issue. My brother has a Leon FR and he finds it similar to mine and he has driven an auto for a good 10+ years so he is very used to driving them (he’s had a Peugeot, Ford and Volvo before the current car).

Plenty on the interweb about it….

My dream car is not going to be a manual. What do you think I am, a weirdo?
