Is that a 966? Love the wheels on it.

986 Boxster, poor mans Porsche.


The wheels are from a 987 Boxster, makes it look a bit more modern. Slight different stance and running small spacers at the front. Its over tyred in this set up but fine for road use. I have its original 17's and keep saying I should throw a set of tyres on them for track use but just haven't the time at the moment.

I know it's your car but this thing about poor man's Porsche grinds my gears. It's still a Porsche which is a great car and holds its value incredibly well.

Kinda like someone saying to an Irish woman, nice coat and they reply....."Penny's" :pac:


I get an owner saying it though. But as MM says, it's still a Porsche. Most people have never sat in one, never mind owned one. It's still a rwd, mid engined, 6 pot, NA, petrol Porsche! Fair play to ye running it and enjoying it.

Shur look you can tell the women you own a Porsche! After that who cares! I think it’s class.

I remember Porsche Challenge on the PS1 22 years ago
first game you could do a handbrake turn on, all Boxsters

Interslice

The driving mechanics in that were actually pretty decent from what I remember. For it's day.

colm_mcm

Yeah, those PS1 games haven’t aged well, I got the mini version and I much prefer the Nintendo classic.
Porsche Challenge was realistic for the time though. Tried playing destruction derby again, couldn’t believe how bad it was.

Cheers all - just getting in first though as usually someone throws in the comment.



The other Stuttgart weekend hobby gets taxed today so will bang up a pic of it, 6 cylinders, N/A and petrol also but completely different apart from the fact that you have to be a bit mad in the head to do these things.

Winter weekend project now road legal and out and about. Will give her a good run over the weekend and how things go. Few more DIY things to do yet but needs a shakedown now to prioritize the list.

6 cylinders but petrol, V instead of flat and definitely down on the power to weight ratio compared to its summer buddy. Anyway - nothing like a bit of variety - no point in having everything the same is there??

2002 S280 W220 with 163,409 kms on her.

Picked this up today, 5008 GT auto 180bhp

bear1

So this is what 700e worth of damage looks like.
Came out of work to find this.
Someone smacked into it and ran.
Dash cam didn't catch anything and parked nowhere near any CCTV.
Out of pocket on this one.
Bonnet has been pushed as you can see, headlight ruined and now points down (brackets broken), bumper cracked at the side and the wing is dented.
Booked in next week for the repair..
Gutted.

punisher5112

That's a tough one.... Did you source parts from breakers or eBay?
May work out cheaper.

bear1

No, just the headlight and that alone is 150e used.

Bad buzz dude. That's not the first time either is it?

No it happened back in August as well.
Wasn't near as bad though. This was a serious bang

Did someone say diesel Golfs :pac:

wotzgoingon

@Toyotafanboi I know this is about cars but did you build a house?

Toyotafanboi

Yeah, well kind of. Bought a 60's bungalow in rag order on a decent site, gutted back to 4 walls, and a ground up renovation. Rewire, replumb, new heating system, windows, doors, roof, decent extension and changed the existing layout, insulation under floors, loft, external. Took around 18 months, myself and the father in law doing it evenings and weekends, probably why I haven't been online that much the last year or so.

The site is still a ****hole as you can see but we moved in 4 weeks ago, so kind of taking a breather. Great experience, but never again :pac: Well spotted!

wotzgoingon

Fair play.

I had forgotten about those “Edition R” Golfs

Volkswagen Ireland have announced the launch of a new addition to the legendary Golf range, available exclusively to Irish drivers – the special Golf Edition-R.

With the Golf Edition-R, Volkswagen is looking to building on the loyal following the Golf has attracted over the last couple of decades.


Motor industry figures back up VW's claim that the Golf is a particular favourite with Irish drivers - the current 6th generation of the smart German hatchback is the best-selling car here.

But despite selling well, VW clearly fel there was a gap that they could exploit, albeit a small one as the Golf has to compete in a particularly competitive sector of the market.

In an effort to squeeze into that gap, the Golf Edition–R sits somewhere between the current Comfortline and Highline specificationsof the car.

The new Golf's designers have tailored their design for Irish drivers who like an especially dynamic body and interior styling.

Getting down to the details, the Edition-R offers 16-inch "Pescara" alloy wheels, multifunction display, Bluetooth connectivity plus an R design sports styling pack, together with fog lights and an RCD 510 Touchscreen radio with 6-CD changer & Aux-in MP3 player as standard.

Prices of this limited edition start at a competitive €21,995.

“Irish motorists have been very loyal to the Golf and this provides the motorist with the chance to get their hands on an impressive and exclusive vehicle," says Adam Chamberlain, Head of Sales & Marketing Volkswagen Ireland.

You know, as my historic posts probably show, I was never a Golf fan. The 7 and 7.5 are a very nice car. The 6 is actually a thoroughly acceptable car.

Running costs, tax, insurance, fuel and servicing I couldn't picture being any cheaper. It's a grand yoke for commuting in, reasonably comfortable and you could park it anywhere without either feeling ashamed of it or being overly worried about it. Only problem is it's very dull but sure so is a Corolla/ Focus/ i30 or whatever.

I was never a Golf fan until I bought a GTI (had an M3 before it & needed a break from BMW's specialty: "preventative maintenance"), it's so bloody adequate at everything I can't buy anything else that'll give me as much bang for it's buck. In 5 years it's maybe cost me 1k in servicing/parts, insurance average 500 each year & tax is reasonable & depreciation is not bad at all. Still don't like the looks but it has everything else.

You really can't go wrong with a Golf and the range has something for everyone.
