Agree the R is going to be one of those that becomes too valuable - probably bigger premium than gt3 or RS
re turbo gt3 I would think 1 more generation of NA and in the meantime the technology of turbo will also improve Less lag, more power from a smaller engine, and maybe better energy harvesting/recovery with less weight penalty which will overcome the loss of NA sharpness.

Agree with that. Things are definitely changing at Porsche and recent issues have probably meant revision of future road maps. However the next few years evolution will already be in the pipeline and the unknowns remain (mostly rule changes in future WEC & series that might require homlogating another engine). The most anticipated milestone in this debate will be running the 9A1 derivative in Motorsport in 2016. This program is already a season later than pundits originally anticipated...

Buba. All you say is good. But when it comes to design and detail - Dave has "queer eye for the straight guy" like Macca.
Been through it all my life.
Conclusion = you cant ever expect a person who doesn't suffer from the affliction t understand what it is like to live with the affliction.
Dont get me wrong - there are upsides. I have good taste in shoes and dont listen to crap music ha ha.
I built 5-6 houses up here. Average person doesnt even notice a wall that isnt rendered to a perfect 90 crease corner. I walk up to a wall and within 30m I can tell its not right and it bugs the Sh*t out of me for ever more.
For people like Dave and Macca its hard. Do it right or struggle with it not being quite what you hoped it would be.
There are three great savoys for the perfectionist = age:
Older - you mellow with time and let things go
Eyesight - you loose close vision so not lnger stress about small scratches yu cant see without glasses.
Alzheimer - this one needs no explanation.
Some people are busy running through life and some people just spend all their time drinking in the details (if they are very lucky they may even make a living from it). Being inflicted by aestheticism in this world is tough unless you have lucky enough to be wealthy or have a family stipend. Modern life forces a balance. Managing the balance is the clue to sanity for these creative type folk.

The ultimate for me is a worn and dog eared straight car that is mechanically enhanced, in A1 order, and fits you like a glove.
This doesn't exist so a fresh resto is the reset point to eventually get to that ultimate car.
Geting the elements of a fresh resto balanced is impossible unless it is all new gear, can't have old fittings on new paint etc.
That's the part that drives me nuts. It's all or nothing.

I reckon the trouble is that there is no middle ground. With a 911 it has to be perfect or fabulously patina'd.

Sorry Paul, I ran out of time to fit the bumper, it has a lot more parts than I expected to have to deal with.

FWIW I own a PP but never fitted it as the upside of wearing an easily memorable plate wasn't that clear to me.

Seen MKUWET out and about so why not Jake. Can think of better 911 ones though. That is unless you run water injection on yours, and boost it to 750HP+, in which case it that plate is ace!
