An old car …

An 80ies 911 …. A true icon.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a coupé, convertible, targa or in this cas the rare Speedster.
Actually it’s the only car a man could wish for.















But times are changing (BS) 😄 … .
In order to save our planet, our dear politicians have decided we need electric cars … with 760 hp … 100% deductable if you own the right company. That’s the reason why here in Flanders one out of 3 cars is at least a BMW hybrid … loads of SUV’s and loads of Tesla and other 2000+ kilo planet saving vehicles 🤣.
Okay, i took the ‘ Taycan Crossturismo Turbo S bifuel unlimited GTR bipolar megaconce tric ultra enemy worthy bizarre ‘ … that’s the full name but it doesn’t all show on the rear because that would be a bit hard to read … so where was i ? Oh i took the 760 hp EV Porsche for a drive and it was monstruously fast and brutal …. End of story … NEXT ! 

Emotion ? Yeah … but not like a GT3 or an Alpine A110 … 
Tech stuff ? … yes absolutely  … but the owner wasn’t really convinced and said his Tesla was a lot easier to use.
So at 220K a very expensive toy …. But that doesn’t matter as it fully deductable 🤣.








Porsche going the Ferrari way …. That’ll be a couple of thousands for this plaque embedded in the coachwork sir … 100% deductable 😀.





And in the mean time poor people like myself and Nicolas have to drive lightweight petrol ICE cars, often with a manual transmission.
How unfair this world is … i am dreaming every day i could drive that Taycan every day …. NOT 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ! Okay , just maybe a few times for the acceleration and to show off a bit 😃.

One day ;-) … or maybe the Caterham 😆

Did you mention Caterham ;-)) ..

It’s possible to enjoy both methods of propulsion 😎 ...  

As much fun as you can have …

I was never a 911 guy (chuck it off to my mid 80s birth date), but I will say that the vintage 911 Speedster is far more appealing to me than the hyper-polished (pun intended) brand-new Taycan Turbo S .... Enjoy your ICE manual while it's still a viable o... 

I’ve never been a 911 guy either.

But i do love the looks and the way it drives. That Clio and my 1988 Peugeot 205 will only go over my dead body.

Hahaha xD

Ditto for whenever I manage to get my manual, naturally aspirated Aston . Cheers, Filip

Vantage V8

I had a few drives in a automativ Vantage V8 …. What a car …. And the manual should be excellent i heard.

Indeed :D

Obviously, it will depend on what's available in the marketplace at the time of my purchase, but a manual would be my strong preference . Cheers, Filip

100% true

The 'plastic' canopy instead go the convertible canvas really gives it some hips

There's a bigger problem...

My current car is around 2000 kg. Slightly less actually. In USA, I kid you not, there are soon going to be 5000 KG electric cars (pick-up-truck/SUV shaped cars) on the road! The new Hummer Electric car is nearly 5000 KG when loaded with cargo and passeng... 

Hmmmm ...

Trucks also weigh a lot over 5000 kilos, off course if your car gets run over by one you're are gone ... but unfortunately those 5000 kg pick-ups will be driven at far higher speeds and some less careful people as well. We haven't seen the end of the madn... 

The trucks that weigh 5000 kilos in Europe are often driven by professional drivers...

 
 By: patrick_y : April 16th, 2022-03:04
Here in California, normal car drivers will soon be driving these 5000 kg cars! While talking on their phones, being disturbed by the screaming kids, etc. Definitely a very big problem!

I am seeing this more and more over here too !

And we still have too many Eastern European truck drivers on our roads ... last Friday I unfortunately saw ... 'the white blanket' again :-( .... lying over a deceased one. The traffic jam that followed took me 1,5 hours to cover 5 miles and you wouldn't ... 

Good thing you're not on a motorcycle as often as before!

 
 By: patrick_y : April 17th, 2022-06:56
Much higher risk of injury on a motorcycle! But seriously, car companies should be more cautious... To make a 11,000 pound or 5000kg vehicle on the road, for a "basic license" driver is just irresponsible. I understand batteries are heavy. But to make a h... 

I've never seen a speedster I don't love.

My dealership had a 991 speedster that I was contemplating on getting. Was out of town for the weekend and it sold in a flash. Even at the $100k over list price. Great cars!

That's the downside of those special ones ...

People with too much money see a business case.

True, very true.

Actually with all the cool stuff ...

If only people with too much money would invest in dumb stuff
