Buying a Car II.

octatonic

As we are returning to the UK I need to buy a car too.

About a month ago I went to a dealer and ordered one.
It turns up in 8 weeks time.

Nope, I think I'm done with BMW for a bit.

I've gone for a Macan S.

Nice - should be a lot of fun and still room to cary plenty of crap

That was the plan.
I nearly bought an old 911 and a cheap runabout for drums but I will need to go back and forth to Switzerland a bit so made sense to go all in on one vehicle.

This is a rubbish sequel.

 You can't make Citizen Kane 2 or Casablanca 2. Don't mess around with the classics.

Are you sure?  Final answer?

Nice motor! On the subject of Porsche, the 'new' 911 made me quite hard when I first saw it, it's perfectly formed. Macan is a beast though. Pics when you get it hopefully.

Just be thankful it isn't a porn parody.

I've now also bought a bike- a BMW R1250 GS Adventure.

My dad used to transport his jazz drum kit on an old Triumph motor cycle in the 60s.
And no it did not have a side car.

Car is delayed , which might put it perilously close to Brexit, assuming we are still having one.
Porsche are lending me a car for a bit- I was specifically asked 'do I need 4 seats' to which my answer was 'No'.

Totally.
I'm hiring cars at the moment too, so it is expensive.

There’s a cheap Honda Civic available in South Wales

In hindsight I'd have saved money buying a beater than hiring a car for 3 weeks but we were expecting it to have arrived by now.
