I'm chopping in the Exige for a 911...

Yup, I've made my mind up (the fact I can't get any kids in the back on the Exige might give you a clue why...) that the Exige has to go

I've had 2.5 years of Lotus ownership that I've really enjoyed and would love to continue but the thought of a 911 (964) or a pre '84 911 is keeping me smiling. Just need to find one now!

Keep your eye on the classifieds forum for the bits I'll take off it soon!

The term "eyes wide open" springs to mind

Good luck all the same, dude - nice wheels

You`re pregnant

Love the 964, although thats probably because the only one I have been in was one of 2 RHD RSR 3.6 Lightweights which was

fast!

Good luck hunting and look forward to seeing the new car.

As someone also now sometimes having kids/car problem, are there any of the RS 911s that have rear seats?? I thought they were all 2 seaters...

Just don't go Tiptronic - it's gash... especially on changedown under heavy braking.

Manual is the way to go in a 911, every time...

I'm still waiting on a 2+2 Lotus, suppose well just have to wait and find out if project Eagle or whatever its called comes to fruition

.

Even considerd an Excell but the baby seats dont fit in the back.

Do booster seats actually fit in the back of a 911???

Nope - I tried booster and standard forward facing baby seats. No go i'm afraid.

964 RS are going for new 997S money?

Sheesh, Meaden did well for his residuals by talking it up in Evo!

Just as well, as he would have got royally shafted with depreciation on his S2 Exige - buying new and selling after 1 year.

I remember reading a report on the 964RS (possibly Autocar a while back), and the general gist was great on track, but the suspension is so hard it is horrible to drive on most UK roads. If you must have a posh beetle, then an old 964 Turbo would be nice - mad, bad and dangerous
