Cos they're always broken aren't they @Ant1

You just cannot fall out with that 996 era, great looking things.

Wouldn’t know bud, 996 is for poor people.

The turbo has the Mezger engine which is much more reliable than standard 996 / 997 engine.
It has dry-sump lubrication and basically zero chance of intermediate shaft bearing failures.

Look s**t, sound s**t and driven by t***s

On the pages the turbos are always broken and cost ££££ to fix in comparison to the 996. 996 need the IMS replacing as precaution then are pretty reliable

It seems I only post old cars, but ooft

Jesus Christ, i would rather crash that car than listen to her...f**king hell.

Gary has the patience of a nun in a coma, she is one irritating c**t.

 

[YorkshireKyle]

I think I'd rather have someone relentlessly hammer tent pegs into my chode until my japs eye split to either side of my hips than share a car with that screeching horrible c**t

@Ant1 . The low mileage Indianapolis Red M5 I was on about local to me. Just coming up to 42k now apparently. Shame it’s not a touring.

Were you in the middle of falling over when you took that photo?

 

[Philip.]

Couple of quick snaps at a local show. Shame about the w**k plates on the GT4.

 

[aucky]

Spotted one of these making a slow looking but gloriously sounding overtake on the way home.

 

[Steve1986]

Came out of Lidl to see this parked next to me. Absolutely spotless, even had the original exhaust

 

[YorkshireKyle]

Had an Indian pump wagon near me too

A mate of a mate recovered this this week on the A55.

Not a car but a Caddy - never seen one like this before, was properly tidy as well. 6 pot Porsche brakes up front as well, had to message the company and ask what engine is in it lol.

Has he still got that, Kev?

 

[Oggy997]

We've Forge 6 pots on our diesel caddy, the minimum requirement for her driving tbh.

 

[Gally]

Don't think so! Haven't spoke to him in a bit, he had the alpina like Waiteys for ages. That M5 was the loudest car i've ever had the presence of.

Unsure as yet mate, i’ve messaged them to ask, it really was well done, looked spot on with that kit on as well!

Popped to Kings Head in Heath WF1 this evening

 

[NickReilly063]

I saw that Mk1 Golf earlier this year at a show in Huddersfield - it is an awesome bit of kit with its 20v Turbo engine.

The work that’s gone into the interior is to a mega high standard and looks amazing with the Recaro seats fitted.
