Does anyone know what Trout does for a living?
I don't do bad - in the top 1% of household income(I think) but I couldn't even think about getting a car like that!

 

a pimp?

 

20 kids & lives off benefits

TX.

 

To do with banking of course,there the only one's par pop star and footballers who can afford stuff like this!!

 

I am not a banker

It is true some of my main clients are banks but that is more coincidence than anything else.

I mostly work with large professional services organisations to improve their relationships with their top customers. To put it in perspective my last assignment I turned one of my clients accounts from $20m per annum to $80m per annum in two years. Very simple stuff - but simple or not that is of high value to my client.

I also do peak performance training, executive and personal coaching.

I got everything I now have from practising what I preach - and I am very lucky and grateful to have it.

 

Management consultant? :spit: Kidding, you've obviously done well for yourself, pat on back etc

 

Like i said 'to do with banking' but i truthfully think fair play and well done on you Trout for doing so well and good luck for the future,not that you need it mate

 

amazing machine!

 

Nice one Trout, 75miles and you're back home taking photos to post on Scoobynet. What's up with you man?

Looking forward to seeing this in the metal, well done.

And park it well away from that battered 5 series

 

More simply I am a management consultant to management consultancies

My direct clients are Deloitte, E&Y, Accenture, TCS and Wipro. I help them with their clients!

 

I needed a wee!!!!

I suddenly realised I had to go out for petrol...


...at 10pm...


...and it took me 80 miles to find a petrol station

 

Very nice! I went in one at Bedford autodrome on a trackday. We were there with the scoobies, and a friend of ours with a 7 litre AC Cobra rep joined us. the owner of the GT3 RS came over to look at the Cobra, and i cheekily asked him for a spin. He didn't let me drive, but took me out instead.
All I can say is what an awesome bit of kit! The acceleration and grip around the corners made me nearly throw up when i got out after only 3 laps.
Are you planning on tracking it???

 

P.S I just showed my 13 year old daughter, and she says you could have bought her a horsebox!

 

Oh right, ok. Well go the long way round next time.

 

Mmmmm lovely!

Think i'd like to see more pics though....and maybe some of the house too!

 

and if that were true, we would all own a bit of the car

I await my invite

 

There are some more pics on this thread.

I am actually working properly today, in London, and everything.

Back at home tomorrow and I will see if I can get some more pics of internals and details etc.

Thanks for everyone's very kind comments. Twelve years ago I scraped together the money to get my first Subaru which, in it's own way was as exciting as getting this. I have had an incredible decade in between but at the core I am still the same excited petrol head just as I was when I joined this site in 1999.

The best thing is that the response to the car has been unanimously positive from waves from other drivers to comments at petrol stations and elsewhere. It really is a privilege to be able to own something like this.

And I will happily do passenger laps when I am on track days - if you see me just ask

 

Does it have a climbing frame in the back?

Can I ask roughly what line of business you're in Trout? All is going well here but we're always looking at other ideas including snapping up a design company.

 

That is a nice car!

 

Yes - in camouflage matt black

 

That is an awesome car Trout. One day I'll have a 911. Enjoy it

 

I know a German company at the ring that would kill for that plate!!!

 

Amazingly it was a standard price for an 11 plate.

£399.

One that slipped through the net of the DVLA profiteers. Anything with POR in cost stupid money. GT03 plates are only £250 and loads of RS plates at £250 or £399.

 

Doh!! Double post!

 

Trout - I just asked a question you've already answered!

Good on you - not an easy line of business to be in (mind you, nothing is!) and very competitive too.

Thinking of all sorts of ideas at the moment, one of which has parallels (but is completely different) to that sort of thing. As with Jods, things going well with our business but very much in the junior league compared to yourself.

Anyway enjoy it all and shout when you order your first Jetranger!

 

 

Not my cup of tea personally. I dont get the colour scheme, nor the stickers, nor the silly spoiler but whatever floats your boat and all that. How anyone can say it is stunning surely has the blinkers on because it has a Porsche badge? It may be a Porsche but it's hideous, I think it has been ruined by all the halfords stick on items and it is no different to the halfwits that spoil their saxos with the same tacky modifications.

Sorry, but its screaming mid life crisis, **** extension, hey everybody look at me

444bhp aswell isn't earth shattering in 2011. A much better and much more sophisticated choice without shouting out at everyone would be the Turbo or Turbo S surely?

Did I say it wasn't my cup of tea

 

Think you are whats called a lucky barsteward with that find of the century!!!

 

Oh no!!!

I have been sussed.

You are right, I only bought it to salve my middle-aged ego, driving it around hoping some 19 year old airhead would perhaps want a 'ride' so she could suck my tiny little *****.

Still, could be worse, I could drive a TT RS












PS Your edited comments regarding the Turbo would indicate that you do not know the first thing about 911s

 

I think Stunning is an understatement
