Today I was supposed to be collecting a "new to me" 911. After much time waiting for the cash to clear, paperwork and new tyres to be fitted, the big time arrives. A very worried looking salesman approached me only to inform me that some rich kid in a Range Rover had just reversed into the side of it.
So I am now driving a new 718 Cayman R until it's fixed. Nice car but definitely not for me.

Blimey Martin, that's bad luck. Something similar happened to my MINI Clubman Cooper D - but fortunately I'd just dropped it off on a trade in for something else! Long day yes - seems despite escaping the next round of compulsory redundancy they are still trying to close down our facility and relocate what's left of the work up to Erskoban. So my few days holiday this week will be rewriting cv and perusing the employment pages...

That's really bad luck, hope they get it repaired to your satisfaction quickly.
Look forward to seeing some pics when you finally get behind the wheel.

So Martin, the yellow peril has gone..........
Sorry to hear about your day. It sounds like this rich kid should be driving something easier to park.

Worthers +8 Yep a switch from yellow to white and Porsche are fixing it so it will be sorted to a very high standard.

I suppose early retirement with a nice redundancy payout is not on the cards Graham.
