sleazius Posted 1July, 2021 Report Share Posted 1July, 2021 I'd have to sell something to regret selling it. I tend to hold onto things. Yeatesy and Tips 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgy Posted 1July, 2021 Report Share Posted 1July, 2021 Of all of them, my 997.1 GT3! Glorious car, and we had a good history together… but RS is a hell of a drug! 😂 TwoHeadsTas, Yeatesy, luzzo and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM Posted 1July, 2021 Report Share Posted 1July, 2021 Owned lots of cars including 964C2, GT2, 3 & 4 but this is the one I’ve had again if I could find it. Circa $35k. Affectionately known as the carrot. Honda F20C, stock 240hp, 9000rpm, 6 speed, 620kg. Great fun on road at sensible speed. Great fun on track albeit not super quick due to aero of a brick.

I too hold on to good things - like my '84 Carrera and some other toys, too good to sell, no matter how much I'm offered. But here are some things that I coulda shoulda bought but did not - Gull wing Mercedes, in pieces but 17,000 km and perfect - went for $4000 (am showing my age!) Chevron B8, ready to race, on trailer, with 16 spare wheels and all the good stuff $6000 - one of the prettiest sports racers ever built And, wait for it: Porsche 911 RS $8000 - it was a beast and I was frankly, nervous . . . . blue_ixxi, Yeatesy, FAP911 and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocketscience Posted 2July, 2021 Report Share Posted 2July, 2021 My Honda CBR600. Granted it looks prettier on my wife's finger, and I wouldn't change that for the world. But I miss that bike regardless... Sov and Peter M 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaaaand we have a winner of the thread! The RS is a given when it comes to "I probably shoulda kept that one", yet the Chevron...😍😍😍 18 minutes ago, pocketscience said: My Honda CBR600.

But I miss that bike regardless... 😂 I had the 'opportunity' (a.k.a told) to sell a bike (an old Katana) to put a ring on 'her' finger, yet coming home early one day to a removal truck and her whole family emptying our rented house, gave me the inclination that all was not well with the relationship 😂 Dodged a bullet with that one 👍😁 GC9911, 3legs and luzzo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted 2July, 2021 Report Share Posted 2July, 2021 My first Blue 911 I did the turbo / EFI thing to. I ask the current owner evey now and then. Its not for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishcop Posted 2July, 2021 Report Share Posted 2July, 2021 My dad sold my Goggomobil Dart (yes the Dart) for $500 when I was living away and it was taking up room in his garage... He was chuffed he'd doubled my money. We took some time to 'reconnect' after that SteveF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiller Posted 2July, 2021 Report Share Posted 2July, 2021 Many. Previous regrets have turned me into a somewhat of a serial hoarder of cars and also parts. It's not a healthy relationship. Number one would have to be my 996 GT3 that I sold in 2017 ago, mainly because I had to spend another 50-60K to get back into another one four years later!

My 2004 GT3 I bought from Rob Rymer in early 2017 was a peach - 21,000km with 2 previous owners. I often consider what I was thinking at the time - not much by all accounts. And the most humiliating thing - my wife warned me not to sell. Yeah right, sorry darl, you were right (again)...

Stephen your wrap up on the 996 GT3 vs the GT4 definitely swayed be back when I was tossing up which way to go the second time around. I shouldn’t be so silly to sell this one (everyone gets one free pass). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man - this is me. I now question every sale over & over again because every car I've sold in the last 3 - 4 years I regret. '55 mint beetle, 77 C3.0, 1996 993, 1967 bitsa hotrod, 1977 landrover 101 FC, 2nd gen golf gti...all of them much regret...I'd happily turn back & keep them. But....can't have them all (he says with a heavy heart). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
