Default Need help buying a Porsche?

I'm setting up a service to take all the hard work out of buying a Porsche. Or at least I do the hard work for you!

A full website is coming soon at www.findaporsche.com but in the meantime there's a holding page with my contact details on. Do get in touch if you'd like to know more.

Cheers

Good Luck with this Phil. I reckon this will be a good thing for UK based 964 buyers to be!

Not exactly (although I AM looking [sort of] to move into a different kind of business having become sick of pushing myself so hard in this one). I've been more of what you might call Phil's guinea pig. Do they use that expression in the States?

You could say I have helped fund its setting up!

Well, I've been tentatively looking for another Porsche (additional one, that is) and Phil has been testing his skills whilst doing some looking and examining for me...

Edit: Why am I still up at ten to midnight? We came in an hour ago from a huge Chinese meal. ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........

Mmmmm, if there's one thing I miss about England, it's all the great candy! Three Cheers for Cadbury!

Yup, everytime I am about to go home for a visit I get people coming up to me and saying things like, "er...do you think you could just bring me back a couple of bags of Maltesers?" in hushed tones..

Thanks for the feedback and the emails, guys - much appreciated.

Seeing that this thread has now been hijacked by a load of chocaholics, Mars is actually a US company (owned by the Mars family). That aside, I must say American chocolate is dire - when I visited I misheard Hershey as 'horse ****' which seemed about right to me Oh, and they get their Milky Ways and Mars Bars confused...
