@AutoInfatuation @bleusudfan My brother has one of those, proper waftmatic barge of a thing with a ridiculous turn of speed when required. Currently for sale

@MunichLegends Yep, this, when we break it out of winter storage on Friday

@hjwakerley Wagon on OEM 18’s is just 👌

@harrym_vids @AutoTrader A friend dailies a 720S, it’s currently on over 75k miles, he’s done the majority of those himself over the last 2-3 years.

[Mike Stokes @mikesto71]

@AutoPap On that reg plate it’s also not been registered for long, we’re in that range at the mo.

[Mike Stokes @mikesto71]

@ListerLawrence Almost as good as this one I spotted while back in the UK recently…

[Mike Stokes @mikesto71]

@Lease4wheels Maybe the discount given at time of original purchase offset it, I’d guess in 2020 there wasn’t much appetite for blowing loads on a new car with lockdowns etc. Similar to now here in Oz, I’m told dealers are knocking ~50% off new i5’s to move them, no one’s buying

[Mike Stokes @mikesto71]

@hjwakerley Green one was for sale a couple of days ago, have they just bought it ?

[Mike Stokes @mikesto71]

@AutoPap Or this, last week while I was back in the UK visiting the in-laws in Hale.

@tobytarrant I burst out laughing in the car when I heard you say this earlier Tobes, utter genius 🤣👍

@hjwakerley Indeed you are correct ✅

[Mike Stokes @mikesto71]

@sniffpetrol I owned one of those new, V393WNV. Thames Valley Police took umbrage at me straight lining the Milton Keynes roundabouts at 5am one Monday morning in that car…

[Mike Stokes @mikesto71]

@timoldland @AutoPap I have one, for the same reasons. Just a bit older so it’s lower tax and also ULEZ friendly.

[Mike Stokes @mikesto71]

@AutoPap Company here in Melbourne does something similar, only retaining the original chassis. Looks entirely stock if you want it to, they’re superb. Les Richmond Automotive.
For me the wheels on that one look all wrong.

[Mike Stokes @mikesto71]

@AutoInfatuation The answer of course is Boxster, always is at this price point. After that, BMW and the six pot is hard to beat, but 4k will also get the bangle butt 650i pre March 2006 so cheap tax. That’s what I ended up with for my 1 month a year back in the UK, currently sat in storage.

[Mike Stokes @mikesto71]

@hjwakerley You’re most welcome 👍

[Mike Stokes @mikesto71]

@AutoPap Now THAT’S a colour !! Bravo sir, fantastic shade of green 👍👍👍
