So... things to watch out for when buying a 24 year old Porsche 911 Turbo for the engine and gearbox.

1) you have a trailer that will fit it.
2) if you don't have a trailer to fit... ensure the brakes are not worn down to the minimum, the clutch is not shot, the rear tyres don't have canvas showing and it's not made from rust...

If you fail at both of the above. I AIN'T BLOODY DRIVING IT!

It may have only been for 40 miles.... but that was the most terrifying thing I've ever had to do.

330bhp and rear wheel drive tail happy car with bald tyres on greasy roads with almost no brakes.

Soon my pulse will slow down and my sphincter will relax....
