BeagleGuy78 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 The term ‘huge undertaking’ is relative. But before entering into that discussion, why not simply consider buying a different car with the engine you want? Mostly due to cost. What I really WANT is a black 620S ... But those are VERY expensive. This one is far from 620S trim but would be fun till I could afford something with more grunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Edited to add - I just looked at the laundry list of my automotive money pits in the signature footer to this post........and admit that I am not much better... With that laundry list you still think you are somewhat better??? :jester: -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croc Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 I know Antony well - he's my insurance broker. My supreme confidence comes from knowing that I am better than anyone who drives a Porsche. Porsche owners buy a car to make themselves look good. I don't need to do that. I look in a mirror and see something much better looking than a Porsche, far more reliable, much easier and cheaper to service (even women can!), parts are cheaper although quality fluids for me are on the expensive side of things but know I can drive faster than a Porsche. Quite a compelling case. :jester: Now to anyone offended by my statement, please PM Kitcat and complain - he's an attorney.:leaving: For those Porsche owners really offended, just substitute Subaru and the statement still all works. And it was nice knowing everyone since John is about to ban me for life!:seeya: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I've heard Caterham referred to as the Porsche of se7ens, and since you have two of them...

Croc Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 LOL - That would be a long signature line if I include the ex-cars or my daily driver. I sold a lot in recent years and pared it down to those I want to hang around. Even then some are restore, keep a little while and sell. For that reason I only show the ex-sevens and the current cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panamericano Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Croc, "Writing up this post while watching Goodwood live on TV - sensational racing!" Nothing to do with me picking up (at HPB) today a 1985 biography of John Montagu of Beaulieu. A true motoring pioneer. How fortunate we all are that the motoring spirit has lived on in the family. After WW2, it would have been so easy for us to lose all that the Lord and Goodwood have given us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
