Triumph ! classic !
If only they stayed together better but the Poms made some wonderful vehicles back in the day......shame their manufacturing went up the poop.
We do have a other sports interest thread more so motor racing that one bloke here says all they do is go round and round but I forgive him.
Here was one of my dream models back in the day.
Higher end sure but what a classic - the first silver one, when I saw these on the roads I fell in luv.

Yeah rad cars.

I bought a Porsche about 5 years ago brand new.

Would never do that again. They’re a pack of cunts

It was fun for the first year then I had lots of problems

Would

Absolutely love

I've got a mate on another forum who is a Porsche officianado. I'll try and get his opinions on this whale of a tail....

Although if I was looking to invest I'd be heading down this road.

The early 911’s were temperamental buggas the drive - like a 2stroke motor crosser of old.
Didn’t know when the power would come on unless you knew it and the clutch’s were bitchs.
Mind more modern ones are far easier due to tech - anyone can drive them compared to the early days.
Yer very nice specimen that black one - cool low stated and class.
What did you get tsf ? I’d never buy new might I add.
I can’t deal with the loss depending the model.

I'm not really a car person (they're all A-to-B mobiles as far as I'm concerned) but a few years ago I had the royalties from three books burning a hole in my pocket and wanted to do something meaningful with it.

It occurred to me that it might be fun to have an interesting car so I put my royalties, plus what I'd normally pay for a new car, plus my trade in all together... plus another $10k to get an Audi TT. I wanted a manual so had to wait 4 months for it to be specially made and shipped out from Germany. It's a nice looking car and I do enjoy driving it but...

Mind if I ever get some proper money then I gets one of these....
