Cool number plate, is it for sale?
Sure — Everything has a price, but you probably wont like the price that I would be willing to let P911 RED go for.
Are any of your cars for sale?
Yes -
After careful consideration, I have decided to downsize the fleet, to create some space on my drive and concentrate on Scarlett
How many vehicles do you currently have
Well… the five on this site, plus my wife’s Kia EV6 (very nice car, but let’s be honest — it’s no Homer).
And then there’s our 2007 Transit-based Hobby T550 motorhome, which is perfect when we need to disappear for a couple of days and pretend life is organised.
Update - Cassie, Julliette and Vader have gone off to the Iconic Classic and Restoration show Auction at the NEC
Electric car -call yourself a petrol head?
No — I call myself a car enthusiast.
Do I think electric cars are the future?
Not really.
But they are the present, and while not everyone can charge at home… I can. And for a daily driver, it simply makes sense.
Running costs tell their own story:
-
My Tesla costs about 90p per day for my 30-mile round trip — roughly 3p per mile — thanks to cheap overnight home charging.
-
The same commute in Scarlett costs around £8.50 per day (28p per mile) thanks to 24 mpg and £1.50/L super unleaded.
-
Insurance on EVs is higher, and while there’s very little servicing (Tesla recommends a cabin filter every two years and a brake fluid check), it’s not the miracle saving some people claim.
But for the grind of everyday commuting?
The numbers don’t lie.
Electric wins — so I keep the petrol for what petrol does best:
making noise, making smiles, and making memories.
Will you add more cars to the collection?
Possibly, but for the time being, I am concentrating my efforts on keeping Scarlett in top notch condition.
Why create this website?
Because each car has a story worth telling — and this gives me a place to document them, share progress, store photos, and keep everything neatly in one place.
