Mike C. Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Mark, Were you the under-bidder on the phone? Some lovely cars, but all a bit posey for my tastes - prefer the more austere, but practical, useable and affordable, classic Porsches.

Julian Thompson Posted August 3, 2003 Author Share Posted August 3, 2003 Still for sale I think.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Thompson Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 I've decided it is a bad idea to sell this car as I'd only want one again sooner or later - and I just couldn't bear it being driven off down the drive! (wose still one of my mates wanted to buy it which would have been torture, especially if I ever ended up being overtaken by him on the track!!) Thanks for everyone's input Jue 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_E Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 You know you have done the right thing. PS Anybody know of a Dino buyer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino ferrana Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I wasn't aware I was for sale! 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Thompson Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 Dino - You're not for sale but I know where a by all accounts lovely 246GT Dino Ferrari (as opposed to Dino Ferrana!) is !! (And Rich, I'm going to have a look at it anyway because, as one of my customers said to me yesterday when I was rattling on about the housing market going to shyte in the next 5 years : "All I do know for sure is that in that time, you'll just be 5 years closer to being dead!"

Julian Thompson Posted August 8, 2003 Author Share Posted August 8, 2003 I think he probably did! I've just been measuring my garage - I'm thinking of a kind of stacker system....... 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Barbie Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I have considered getting a hydraulic ramp setup that will allow me to drive the Caterham onto the ramps then raise it up and park another car underneath. Right now I have three cars and a trailer and they won't all fit in the garage at the same time as I'd like so the stacking idea is not as mad as it may sound.

murph7355 Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Those systems are used a lot in Japan. They can be bought here for about 3.5k I think. I looked a couple of years ago but moved house instead. If you have a XF car I guess you'd need to park that on the lower bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I reply to every thread Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Robert - one problem - your garage ain't tall enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Barbie Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 AVES, I know, I abandoned the idea after I did a quick measure up. Would have been cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Thompson Posted August 8, 2003 Author Share Posted August 8, 2003 Mine is only a single and a half with "normal" height but since the Dino and the 7 are so small I think I might just get away with it!
