[jesus]

Good luck getting insured on that!

[efq]

lmao, i am going through alot of the papers with my dad. he wants me to 'drive carefully' in it.. im sure that i will.

my mum and dad said that i can have it after febuary 2009 because they don't want me going around in winter skidding like mad on first goes. So where its cold but still ok i get used to it.

[jesus]

...how old are you? You can't legally drive a car with an engine over 2.0l until you're 21.

[Metric1]

my mom was going to buy one of those in like 02', but then the 03' Mercedes SL-Class came out and she leased a 2003 SL500 (much nicer than the Porsche!)


...how old are you? You can't legally drive a car with an engine over 2.0l until you're 21.

Thats a really small engine? So if your parents have a normal sedan with say a 3.0L engine a person under 21 has to buy their own smaller car?

[efq]

I'm 20, but by then im 21!!!
I am going to Uni, late so I don't think my car will be following!!!

Thats not the law, you may find it hard to insure, but I'm pretty sure that isn't the law. Also, you can get alot of power of a 2 litre, more than most American companies get from a V6 :P

[jesus]

I'm 20, but by then im 21!!!
I am going to Uni, late so I don't think my car will be following!!!Oh I take it back then! I thought you were about 15 or 16 or something. Post pics when/if you get it!

[piddle2k6]

LOL ur insurance will be through the roof. Id rather have a seat ibiza :)

What a strange reason, I don't live far from you and Cambridge isn't that icy in winter... Are you sure they're not pulling your leg? "Let's buy him one in 2009, then when he asks again that year we'll say we'll buy him one in 2010 :P"

[Andys]

Take it your parents are rich...
£40,000,000 for that car :|
Anyway, I'd much rather have a 911 :)
But yeah, nice ;]

How much will the insurance be on that? :P

[Metric1]

My mom told me to drive her car's carefully when I got my licence, and I tried but then I ended up wrecking one hahahah

[prada]

sounds like a ***********, who the **** buys their kid a GBP 43,110.00 incl. VAT car? lmaoooooo

[efq]

Oh I take it back then! I thought you were about 15 or 16 or something. Post pics when/if you get it!
Yeh, I'll remember because its such a beast.
Haha and the Insurance is hard to find lol.
I have around 8 months so I think I will have enough time.


Cambridge one above, Well, earlier this year I was in Chesteron, in Cambridge and I crossed the main roads and my car slid into this Pub wall... The back wheels had no grip but then no salt trucks came that day.

Luckily for me it wasn't my car lol.

I have a pic somewhere... This is my mates house this winter, the dudes car I totaled by accident.

[GTA-Andy]

Wow thats snow down south? It's not snow until you need chains here. Lol. Good luck either way.

Quick example, Snow on Great Dun Fell, Cumbria:

Lmao, If I was there with my Porsche, I'd make sure its kept somewhere very safe, and very high lol.

Keep my baby warm and safe!!!

[GTA-Andy]

Hehe, don't think it would ever get that high to start with, even without the snow, too low. Anyways, if you do get it make sure to post up some pics.

[efq]

I will, also to first post on this page again. I get it in march in 2009 so I get used to the car, if i get it within the next few months winter will soon arrive and I wont be use to the car fully, so likely to crash off into a ditch.

So in March 2009 I can get used to it before Winter.

[jesus]

Are you sure you're even getting one?

[efq]

Yeh, my Mum & Dad said I could, Ive waiting like 2 and a half years.

They have found a few and they are looking at them and talking to the sellers.
It isn't a second hand car its brand new. http://www.porsche.com/all/uk/?cambridge

[jesus]

Post some specs plz.

[efq]

I used the rebuild car model on their site to show you what I am getting.
http://i29.tinypic.com/2lmurlx.png

[jesus]

42k.. how rich are your parents?! :O

[efq]

How do you know the price?
The reason I covered the price is because I'd rather not talk about it.

[jesus]

I know a lot about cars. :)

Oh well, if you do actually get it then good on you!

I'm happy with my little Clio. :)

[efq]

Yeh, I'll try to remember post pictures, but I won't bump this thread in 2009!
But I'm sure I'll be having alot of fun showing off, I am worried about leaving this baby in town. I don't drink alcohol, just coke ect.. so I take the car so I can take my mates there and then bring them back, saving them Taxi or breaking the law.

But leaving that outside the Haymakers. Is it possible to get tracks on a car so you can locate it at anytime?

[jesus]

Most cars over 30k come with (optional) trackers these days.

[efq]

I think that will be added. Luckily my neighbour hood is nice and friendly and I am 2 minutes from a Police Station so perhaps the baddies will stay away.

My neighbour hood is going to be less happy when they hear the engine every day.
My Mum and Dad just said, "If we're getting you this car, you have to do the shopping and let us test drive it".

[jesus]

What cars do your parents drive?

[GommeInc]

I can't imagine an ocean blue interior with that exterior, but it looks good :) Hmmm, keeping it outside in the open maybe a problem at night, I can see drunk people jabbing something through the roof... Surely there is somewhere safe to park, like a multi-story?

[jesus]

Or a garage!?

[efq]

My Mum drives a Nissan X-Trail and my Dad drives Lotus Europe or Europa, ill go check the back of the car.

Edit: I think it said Lotus Europa S, it might of been Europe Z i cant remember but hes just gone to meetin

[jesus]

My Mum drives a Nissan X-Trail and my Dad drives Lotus Europe or Europa, ill go check the back of the car.The new or old Europa? Sounds good. :)

[efq]

The new or old Europa? Sounds good. :)
I have no idea about cars, but whats the old and new? He got not long ago

[GommeInc]

Or a garage!?
This is when he's out and about, parking it infront of Haymakers. There must be a secure car park near there. I would have a heart attack worrying about it the whole time!

[jesus]

If you have no clue about cars, perhaps it's not a good idea to get a Porsche as your first one...



This is when he's out and about, parking it infront of Haymakers. There must be a secure car park near there. I would have a heart attack worrying about it the whole time!Oh I see! I don't know what Haymakers is!

I would as well, I worry when I leave my Clio anywhere let alone a 42k Porsche!

[efq]

Its not a secure park around, ill show u map.
http://i30.tinypic.com/348614h.png
Jesus, the bottom picture is like exact!!


By I don't know much about cars I ment, Like the legend cars that old ones ect...

My Dad said he'd get the tracker but he said something about if you go in the car, it auto locks or something so your trapped i dont know, but the police can see it.

[GTA-Andy]

£46,391 for one with that spec. 'Tis a pretty penny.

[jesus]

I'd rather get a house than spend that much on a car which is probably going to get trashed or stolen.

[Metric1]

I'd rather get a house than spend that much on a car which is probably going to get trashed or stolen.

and depreciate in value over time.

[Adam$]

...how old are you? You can't legally drive a car with an engine over 2.0l until you're 21.
you can?

I'm insured on a 2.6 sprinter.

[jesus]

you can?

I'm insured on a 2.6 sprinter.I'm certain that you can't.

[GTA-Andy]

As I said earlier I'm pretty damn sure you can, I've legally driven 2.0 litres and higher on the road, and I know plently of people with 2.2l+ at my age.

[GommeInc]

You can... My brother had a 2.0 Honda Civic Sport when he was 18/19 and he drives a truck now, which has an engine bigger than 2.0, for sure :P You can pretty much drive any car/truck as long as you are insured to, so if you have the money, go for it!

[Kieran]

I believe it's under 3L I read somewhere not long ago =)

[jesus]

Well I never knew that! Thanks for the info lads. :)

[Metric1]

My Mum drives a Nissan X-Trail and my Dad drives Lotus Europe or Europa, ill go check the back of the car.

Edit: I think it said Lotus Europa S, it might of been Europe Z i cant remember but hes just gone to meetin

So your mom drives a Nissan X-Trail.. and you get a $40 000 Porshe, you think it should be the other way around?

[jesus]

So your mom drives a Nissan X-Trail.. and you get a $40 000 Porshe, you think it should be the other way around?It's $80 000 USD! £40 000 GBP. ;)

[N!ck]

Buy one that's a couple of years old and save a heap of money?

And for that price you could probably get a GTR imported from Japan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_GT-R

[GTA-Andy]

However no one wants a GT-R, it's called German badge syndrome. :P

[jesus]

However no one wants a GT-R, it's called German badge syndrome. :PVery true, German cars are built like brick ****houses so it's not surprising really!

[N!ck]

And Japanese cars are extremely reliable.

I think Mercedes are the exception to the German badge syndrome though lol.

[jesus]

And Japanese cars are extremely reliable.Extremely true - my dad has had a German one and a Japanese one and both have been the best he's had yet.

[Lost Prophets]

lmao, i am going through alot of the papers with my dad. he wants me to 'drive carefully' in it.. im sure that i will.

my mum and dad said that i can have it after febuary 2009 because they don't want me going around in winter skidding like mad on first goes. So where its cold but still ok i get used to it.

Haha drive carefully? In cambridge? :P
I had my driving test in cambridge it was a nightmare with all the people on bikes, was afraid that I was going to hit them lol.

[efq]

lol, their are alot of students around. il test down a14 and my uncle has private land with a big track so ill be sure to take it their, but not ending up smashing through the fence...

Also can people stop discussing the price, just i'd rather keep it disclosed.

[Adam$]

I'm certain that you can't.
I am, it's a 52 plate Mercedes Sprinter 2.6.

[Metric1]

It's $80 000 USD! £40 000 GBP. ;)

you could probably get like 3 X-Trails for that much!

[jesus]

Also can people stop discussing the price, just i'd rather keep it disclosed.Why did you post a thread on here telling us that you're getting a Porsche then?!

[Enrique.]

LOL.
I'm almost certain that this is a wind up. :rolleyes:
Infact, I think I am certain.

You've posted about "Bregeta" or whoever a lot in the music section, giving links to her bebo.
In her comments, are a hell of a lot by Sam Carvalho. aka, you. A name you used to go by on here too.
Age on your bebo profile; 14 years old.

... :rolleyes:

[GTA-Andy]

Granted it wasn't a wise move to post the exact specs and the configurator you used if you don't want people to comment on the price.

[Digital]

ya ya my scooter has a 1000cc engine in and does 200mph in reverse and I've got a nissan skyline :| Its only a 2.5 twin no biggie insurance is cheap....

[efq]

For now, I'll keep a open PM in my box as reminder to post images. When I sort some paper work out with Dad ill scan it on here. Main closing this because I know ye, I'm getting the Porsche but theres no need to discuss the price, Just the car.

If someone keeps me updated then, I should be able to remind myself to post pics. It will be between 2009-march+
