i thought I would share some pictures of my last few cars with the board. oldest to newest......

I have only had the XKR for 8 weeks or so and I will not be adding to the list for a couple of years. So far I am very impressed with the XKR.

Rsvrider · 3 June 2012, 02:09 PM

Nice choices, but I must ask: 993 for 986? And was that a 996 C2S or C4S?
I'm glad you went back to sliver after the 986.

timlaw · 3 June 2012, 03:07 PM

993 C4
986 2.7
996 C4
996C4S
SL55AMG
XKR 4.2

as for the boxster, I wanted a convertible and hated the 993 cab. no regrets at all - boxsters are darn good cars and handle beautifully - did have to go back to 911's tho

silver has been a bit accidental in that the best used deals when I have looking to buy have been silver but that may be that silver cars seem to age better imo and I always buy at least 4 years old as I cant afford new ones AND watches at the same time

TSW · 3 June 2012, 04:23 PM

Looks like you had some fun over the years!

Mosco · 4 June 2012, 02:35 AM

I think the XKR takes the cake out of all these.... I've driven some nice machines in my lifetime, and the handling of the new Jags is just unreal. Plus stock 550HP under an aluminum frame doesn't hurt either.

sea-dweller · 5 June 2012, 01:42 PM

Nice cars!

z32turbo · 5 June 2012, 02:29 PM

Very nice!

Porsche · 5 June 2012, 02:59 PM

Hey Tim, excellent taste, but why the hate for 993 cab???

timlaw · 5 June 2012, 05:17 PM

just that the roof was a mess when down cos the car was never designed to be a convertible - not fond of the 993 targa either cos you lose the iconic rear window shape - anal but the 911 shape for me is a coupe every time

Benjamin Choi · 3 July 2012, 11:50 AM

I had the 996 C4S as well. Awesome rig.

I have these now.

Thanks for sharing!

timlaw · 7 July 2012, 06:14 AM

True dat! The XKR is my DREAM car. I would take it over ANY other car out there. Luxury, beauty and performance all rolled into one super automobile. (sigh) One day.........

iLLGT2 · 14 July 2012, 04:47 PM

BEAUTIES!!!

Big Porsche guy, and well, I ended at this one ;)

burakbrian · 8 September 2012, 02:55 PM

Your next car should be Aston Martin DBS!!!

myclue · 13 September 2012, 01:22 PM

nice porsches!

caryyee · 13 September 2012, 01:55 PM

How does the XKR compare with the SL55?? The Merc has such gorgeous lines ...

Art 1 · 15 September 2012, 07:58 AM

Nice.

eml92 · 31 January 2013, 11:38 AM

Looks like there are quite a few Pcar guys like myself on here. Here is my 996 C4S

ROLEX2447 · 31 January 2013, 09:27 PM

My contribution to the list of excess.......

Beemers' mine,Lambo Gallardo belongs to my wifes' best friend,
who gives it to us every summer,while she is back in China and the
94' Miata i had 17 years,b4 selling it to help allow the purchase of the BMW..

timlaw · 7 February 2013, 08:03 AM

wish i had some friends who lend there Lambo's - not mixing with the right crowds clearly !

steveclocks · 7 February 2013, 08:10 AM

Vienna_Peter · 7 February 2013, 08:22 AM

Speeding911 · 11 February 2013, 12:43 PM

Like this thread. I'm partial to the 993. Hanging on to my Arctic Silver with 25k on it. Love the 997s as well. Have to admit the XKR is a beauty and would make a great daily driver. Nicely done! Cheers.

madant15 · 11 February 2013, 12:56 PM

I have such strong desire to own an air cooled 911...

They're primitive by today's standards but that's where the appeal lies. Great driver's car. Get one. The 3.2s are bulletproof and a great place to start. Much like Rolex, once you buy one........ You'll be looking for a 993.
