Was thinking of a Tuscan (as cheap as 17K for a OO) but can't afford the required weekly 6K rebuild!

I test drove a Tuscan Red Rose just before buying the Porsche - Jesus, what a lot of car! It would undoubtedly have wrapped itself and me around the first convenient lamp post had I bought it. My wife also threatened to leave me if I came home in it.

I was still very tempted...

Any chance of you stickin a picture of your 911 on your file sometime , Mark?

[markomah]

I will, just as soon as I work out how to get something from a digital camera onto my computer - I wasn't blessed by the Computer-Literacy Fairy at birth...

[ballcock]

I know what you mean .. I posted the wrong picture and can't figure how to change it since .. And it's no good tryin to explain how to me .. I just keep fiddling with the mouse til something approximate to my expectations occurs!!

[markomah]

OK, there's finally a photo on my profile - if it dries up later, I must take a few more and try and post them on webshots.com.

That's pretty tasty lookin! Looks like new to me .. I'll be keeping an eye out for you.
I've posted a thingy bout 996 oil pressure .. have you noticed a drop in the pressure if you're on a long journey (over 90mins) ??

Nice. Did you buy it in Wicklow by any chance?

Thank you!

Yep, bought it in Rathdrum, which has a delectable selection of twisty, second gear-ish roads for test-driving on!

My missus took the car for the afternoon, so it's possible. She told me she was going to Jervis St to do some shopping, though...

I'll give her a light thrashing later and get the truth out of her!

Flattery will get you everywhere!

I saw your post about the oil pressure - I hadn't noticed anything myself but I'll keep my eyes open and get back to you one way or the other.

A former boss of mine was a previous owner. I have driven it on occassion. Small world!

[markomah]

... I have driven it on occassion...

Tell me you nursed it along gently, keeping it below 3000 revs and observing all local speed limits!

By the way, he sounds like either a very nice or a very naive boss!

[ballcock]

Hey .. Lucky you .. looks like she even refuels it for ya on the sly!
Must work harder on my wife !
