No!!  The other chap!

lol!

 

Can a salesman look like that?  No suit?

That Tom Jackoneli. Romans is a family business founded and run by the father Paul. Tom mostly works on sourcing the cars but as he is a mate I came to him. Lucky bugger with all that commission! The car is mint fellers, brand new. 450 miles on the clock the tyres are factory fresh.as I said on IG it needs a few bits and pieces done to it before it's ready to be driven. It's such a focused thing thou. Hard to get in and out of. When you are in there it's like a race cockpit. I think I'm going to like this car a lot!

I have pics but he forum won't let me upload as apparently they are too big :( they will trickle out of IG don't worry.

That's a awesome collection of Orange being built up!

Love the new allocated number plate.

Is it too soon to start thinking about what might be next?

I may switch my turbo s for the mk2 991 if they give me a decent deal, then next year a gt2

Apart from that my brother really fancies a classic so may buy a project together.

Really though I'm done! I have all my dreams covered!

*cough, cough* Bullshirt!   :P

 

Until the day you realise you aren't done, well done on building a dream garage us common folk can only dream about and drool over...  Moreso down here where LHD cars are not allowed (unless they are classics over 35 years old or something).

Same here. Insane. They literally have no regard for vehicle maintenance and health and safety, but they do care about LHD for some bizzare reason.

Question for you Woppum. Given your love of track driving, did you or would you in the future consider a totally track biased car. Eg 650S sprint or even a GT3. I know they don't make financial sense as the residuals are poor as they soon just become last years tech and you need transport and suport in the case of the GT3, but for pure driving!

Ok, now you've got my attention, what sort of thing are you looking at?

 

The Macca etc is great, just not my thing, it's the classics that interest me when talking about super cars.

I've thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Your enthusiasm is infectious and you certainly seem very planted and down to earth with what can really only be described as a car purchase for the few. There are many here that appreciate your passion and sheer enthusiasm, and no doubt envy you but in a nice and respectful way! Keep posting please

 

This^^^

 

Wow, stunning colur and cars, and not just garage queens they are used. +++

Well pleased for you Wopps.

It's nice to see someone who is really into driving getting these great cars....rather than just someone with loads of wedge who doesn't appreciate them.

Make sure the P1 has had the 6463 software update and also do the flapper mod for a bit more sound :grin:

The p1 sweets your hair on fire!

I've no doubt!

 

Believe me, I fully appreciate the P1 for what it is, not only that, but all of your fleet are cars most would give their right arm for, they are undoubtedly fantastic cars and I'm glad they are owned by someone such as yourself, to wrap them in cotton wool and leave them in an air conditioned garage is just wrong in my opinion.

 

But for myself, they just don't pique my interest as much as something a bit older does, I can't explain why but for me it's the 80's and 90's cars that really interest me, I'm quite excited to find out exactly what it is you and your brother are thinking about.
