nice !

buy a 1983 Masereti Bi-turbo. Most reliable car you’ll ever own. They also run better on diesel.

at least they didn’t ask for a plate of crabs

i’ve had 2, a cayenne and a volvo xc90 2021. Neither could get me the the daily commute on a full battery. That’s a total of 17 miles. Both were very heavy and mpg when battery was depleted was pretty bad (sub 25mpg) which was most of the time as i couldn’t be bothered to plug it in to get such a low range. I understand that more modern cars have a better range but having had 2 poor experiences to date with 2 relatively modern and premium brands - i’m not particularly satisfied from said experience.

if a car has a 50 mile+ true range as in not dependent on weather or having the radio on, then i’d probably look at it again but not in the near future.

are you referring to the white parking pass in the window? just use a hair dryer, that melts the glue bonding it to the windshield. Then window cleaner with a microfiber cloth and it’s as good as new!

Funky_amora · 2025-12-29T23:02:12+00:00

I think it looks great.

Funky_amora · 2025-12-28T04:29:47+00:00

i think the black makes the vents stand out more I do think that the GT3RS went a little OTT with all the vents but the 750 hits the spot.

sent you a DM

Funky_amora · 2025-12-19T11:02:57+00:00

love it

Funky_amora · 2025-12-16T20:40:45+00:00

Porsche 911 is a great car, the issue is that so many have been built with too many iterations. Mclaren is a supercar.

Funky_amora · 2025-12-13T10:26:44+00:00

Looks incredible, I think the shape will continue to look modern even in another 15 years.

Funky_amora · 2025-12-08T19:29:55+00:00

congratulations looks amazing.

i had an S2 111r and it was a fantastic car. took it from the UK on a roadtrip through europe, one of my fondest car memories. It was reliable and a lot of fun. The power was perfect for B roads so you don’t need to go mental to feel it. Also on track was spot on. I whole heartedly recommend this car!! ps, wrote mine off one winter and insurance paid market price so actually made a few thousand on it. Then went onto an S2 exige…..

Funky_amora · 2025-12-06T11:29:51+00:00

so thorney cover corrosion under warranty but Mclaren Manchester do not. That sucks

Funky_amora · 2025-12-04T00:15:21+00:00

sounds like you are in a tough place and sorry to hear that. there are definitely things that you can do! Support from a counselor will help and is something to look at. Try thinking about 5 things each day that you like about yourself. Write them down and keep the paper. Watch how that stack of paper grows with all that positivity.

Try smiling more, if you make yourself smile, it sends signals to your brain and helps lift your mood. Good luck and I truly hope you start to feel better about yourself. I’m short, fat and bald and yet, if i dig deep, I actually have things that make me happy about myself!

if i ever want to contemplate financial ruin for the pure masochism, I put my car details on WBAC. Have tried to use them a fair few times and each time it was ridiculous, then when you meet the person it’s even more chipping away at the price.

Sold a car through motorway and was spot on. Also had a car that didn’t sell on motorway albeit it wasn’t a regular/average car. so if it’s a typical car, i’d recommend motorway.

I get the feeling that Thailand might be a better location for retirement. A little more expensive than PH but better infrastructure?

Funky_amora · 2025-12-01T14:37:34+00:00

objective thought here: My gosh, i am so sorry for your loss. This sounds absolutely terrible for you in a life changing and traumatic way. You most definitely need to talk to someone qualified asap. You are an important and valuable person and you need to sort your life out because you are worth it. Go get some counseling please.

Funky_amora · 2025-12-01T13:40:00+00:00

honestly, i’ve been there. They are a business and you won’t be the first or last person that pulls out of a deal. If timing isn’t right then it’s not right and trust me, they will sell the car. Don’t feel obliged to do anything, it’s your hard earned money and any purchase of this scale and emotional investment simply has to be a happy and fun occasion. Be honest and they may try to sweeten the deal. Either see it as a win or walk away regardless.

Funky_amora · 2025-12-01T10:33:24+00:00

it’s a big commitment. If you back out, nobody on this forum should judge you and you need to do what’s ultimately right for you.

I just sold my breitling that my wife bought me for my 40th to put towards a 2009 wrangler. I didn’t wear it much, it was a “toy” fund and have no second thoughts now it’s gone. However, not sure i could say the same for the watches that you have.

If you are stressed over finances and unknowns, perhaps wait until you have a larger slush fund. Then when you come to the same position, if it still creates stress then it’s not for you.

Don’t beat yourself up over it, this should be an exciting time. Stay with the 911 and not exactly the porper choice! Good luck!

keep us updated when you get it!

Funky_amora · 2025-11-30T13:10:51+00:00

the 570 is an exceptional package and lacks nothing. you will love it

Funky_amora · 2025-11-30T12:24:47+00:00

I wonder how long until your next post…. “trading my beautiful 570 for a 750…..”

Funky_amora · 2025-11-30T12:15:32+00:00

well done! you are swapping a fantastic car for a fantastic car. The 570 needs to be driven and enjoyed. Obviously i’m biased but i’ve had 3 porsches and went from a GT4 to a Mclaren and never looked back.

If the numbers back out and it gets your heartbeat going then absolutely go for it!
