Opinions vary. Mine is that 986s look better and handle better on 17s.

The tyres are cheaper, too. So it's win, win, win with 17s.

That's a pretty good point and ties in nicely with certain journalist(s)' nosediving quality with the transition to video.

It does, you just have to be logged in as a member to see it. God knows why they want to restrict traffic like that, but they do.

It's worth the asking if it's as good as you say.

£4k would be my take on the value in a generic sense. But if it's genuinely a brilliant example, it's worth the extra £250.

Correct, Clarkson han't been a car journalist for years. Plus, while he's always been a great writer, he wasn't a great car journalist. He's always put the story first.

123,000 miles. Original IMS bearing. 1997 2.5.

Warm it up fairly carefully, then rev the snot out of it. Change the oil circa 5-7k usually.

My view is dual-row are best left. If I had single...

You often get the "omg, where's the engine, then?" question from friends. Hard to believe it's not fairly obvious the Box is mid engined.

Barring keeping food hot in the rear, I use the front.

Car is already rear-biased re weight, so if I'm adding any, makes sense to put it up front.

No, but you're dragging around 50kg+ of fuel with a full tank which is fine if you're going a long way but dead weight otherwise.

Late 80s to mid 90s Mercedes and BMW.
