I bid on it, I knew I wouldn't get it but it felt good to be in the running for a couple of seconds. I'll not bid anymore now I know Grahams having it.
Sym and I had a go, but no bargains today!
Never mind, wish I had gone and viewed, might have gone a bit closer to the mysterious reserve.
At least I have time tomorrow now

I am waiting in suspenders too.
Hope he got tempted and got it. I can never resist a car. Have bought everyone I've test driven - no, not joking!
Mind it has just started raining here. I would not like to pick up a 300BHP C43 and drive it home in the rain :

I know. I am on car number 5 now and three of those (the last 3) have been because I just wanted to see and then fell in love. Just stopped on impulse, then made purchase totally out the blue.
You see why the restraint in not viewing the C43 just for the hell of it

Right.
Where shall I start?
Few stone chips in the usual places, ie: front of bonnet and front bumper. Spec is as given in the auto-trader. It's the same car.
Was well impressed by all the goodies on show.
A few too many switches, but I suppose I could get used to it.
Tyres good, but rears will need changing in about 2k. ( about 50 miles cos it'll be a new toy).
I was offered £8k for mine if I left all the bits on it, so with the negotiated price, that leaves me with £7k to pay.
Sold my 911 yesterday, so all I've got to do now is sell my bike.
Anyone want a zx9r?
Decision time folks.
Not sure whether to go for this, or continue with the purchase of my own artic unit, which will make me money in the long run.
If I was still single, my mind would already be made up.
Anyone want a second hand wife?
As for the seats in it, they are the best seats i have ever sat in. They have the adjustable sides which inflate to suit you.
All in all, I can say that it was a very good car, fmbsh, all the extras you could want and a pleasure to drive.
The acceleration from 80-140mph is phenominal. Talk about the need to change my pants.
He's on holiday for a week now and I'm definately considering it, but that means I wont get it in time for the gtg

Never mind the GTG, his hols give you time to breathe.
Sounds like you gave it my kind of test drive.
Gad I did not go - nothing worse than getting back in your own car and it feeling crap after the car you have just tested.
Purchase and inflated servicing/running I could handle just, but £2000+ per annum for insurance I cannot all the while I have my mortgage.

Bar Steward.
That's why you should have it and I shouldn't then.
At least I can look forward to the benfits of ageing.

Told the missus I was 90% toward getting the car and 10% towards the lorry.
She said and I quote, " If you get that f***ing car, you can f***ing sleep in it".
Looks like I might be investing in a new single quilt then.
@ Graham C230K: If I decide to get it, you can have a go in it mate. I'll put a £1 worth of petrol in it for your test drive.
