     Alternatively, if you like a car, an eltric one and want one with "dials" you could commission one.

    Do you have any idea how much that would cost? It would be way out of even your budget. :D

    You are making an assumption that is wrong as you do not know what my capacity is. To commission, ie have dials in place of a smart screen is relatively inexpensive compared to a whole car. Even whole car are not that expensive when compared with many Marques like Bentley, RR,  Ferraril, etc. It's all relative.

    You have no idea of the complexities of what you are proposing.
    You are making and assumption that is wrong. Simply put, I do not need to know about the "complexties" etc as we have had a car commissioned years ago. Prices vary greatly and vary again based on what one is looking for and their budget. To get dials into a car into an ordinary car is no big deal

    Thanks but just had a look at the car, it just looks wrong. We have a 911, 
    Of course you do.
    I thought that you had a Range Rover:

    329 spam points!  OP seems to be the most unpopular member of the forum!  Are there any other members with that high a score that are not banned?




    Admin tend to ban when a user becomes "hard work". Spam reports mean nothing but they have to reply to reports sent directly to them. When enough people use the report function to complain about a post then they take action.

    Personally I just have them on ignore.

    The spam points are a good indication of how a member is generally perceived by the wider community.  It’s clear than many users find this OPs posts utterly ridiculous but I would guess  many have been warned for marking the OPs posts as spam 🤷‍♂️

    I suspect you are correct. I also suspect the poster is report button happy and complains about their spam reports.

    Maybe if you’re so concerned about pollution and the earth you could sell one of your fleet of high value cars, do you really need as many as you currently have? Does the 911 get used as much as it good be or could you make do with the RR and S class? What about the R Type? Surely between you these can’t all be driven at once? 

    How about you sell a couple of those and then commission yourself an electric car you actually like the look of, as according to you commissioning cars is so affordable 

    or was this thread just another excuse to brand drop the cars you already have?
