This should have been written and posted whilst I was sat on a train this afternoon, but our glorious public transport infrastructure royally bit me in the arse when all train in and out of Birmingham New Street due to an issue with overhead power cables. Rather than abandon collection altogether, I coughed up for an Uber which I ended up sharing with a random lady who happened be to heading to Oakham as well. Honestly, it wasn’t as creepy as it sounds, even though she did ask that I didn’t murder her! This will be quite a long post introducing my new car, so I’ll break it into sections to mak

Heaveho said: Good choice going for the 3.2. I've had this for about a decade, 2005 3.2S. I didn't think it would be my thing, given my penchant for Jap stuff, but it's been very kind to me and I've come to like it very much. They go very well and mine can outperform my 410 / 400 Evo in terms of top speed.I had a low mileage 987.2 3.4S off Copart also about a decade ago and repaired it. My best mate bought it off me and still has it. The car was a good buy, but Copart are a right crowd to deal with.Good luck with yours, sounds like you've ended up with a decent car regardless of the history. Front coolant crossover pipes, backboxes corroding on the top corners ( where you can't see it ) and suspension knocks are common at the mileage. Mine's had the first two ( 80k miles ), the suspension has remained remarkably quiet in my ownership. I see yours has already had a used backbox, which is how I resolved it with mine. I kept the old backbox and intend to have it repaired as a spare.That’s a lovely colour. I ideally wanted to avoid black, silver or grey which seem to the default choice for many of these. Cobalt Blue or Guards Red would have been my first choice colours. Luckily I didn’t have to deal with Copart. The annoying bit is that they binned not only all of the history but the manuals etc. Judging by what they sell for, they’re probably on eBay! Gits. The suspension on this is quieter than some of the other cars I drove. Front springs and struts are new. My plan is to gather parts over the winter and refresh in the spring. Coolant crossover pipes look OK from what I can see, but I’m aware of the issue so will keep an eye on it. The stock exhaust is quiet but I’ll leave it be until I’m not having to commute in it etc.
