Cool, bringing the whole fleet!

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/ is the most popular property search site in the UK at the moment - you can set up email notification for houses in your spec and location, might be worth you getting that going in case you miss a good one.

Cobham is like 30 miles from me & other 911 nut-heads so you shouldn't be short of things to do.

Good luck with the rest of the build, its looking awesome.

I lived in England for 7 years before moving to the US. Never owned a RHD car.

RHD cars don't feel right to me... I have been on the track with Caterhams and Elises and the driving positions threw all my reference points off...

Momentary drag semi-off-topic: Matteo, so you never found it too difficult driving our LHD cars over there, even on the road? I ask because there's a possibility I might end up in Australia in several year's time, and I really want to bring the track car with me. I'm not worried about track driving, just the road to/and from.

The only problems are when u get into a parking garege and u need to lean over to get the tix... But with a car like the 911 is not a big deal.

Highways are 3 to 4 lanes... most A roads are 2 lanes.

It could be tricky on minor B-roads that are single carriageways... but then you just floor it and overtake people....

i drive RHD cars overhear all the time for one of my buddies who imports cars from japan.

really isn't an issue i don't think.

its nice for drive through etc....they can just hand the food to your passanger.... i guess that doesn't apply to the 911, i never allow food in mine...but....

I WANT MORE PICS

-once again, looking crazy nice..... are you still getting a ford gt? my dad was minutes away from getting one about a year ago....very nice cars.

Pictures really don't do justice on how nice this car is and the workmanship is outstanding...Zuffenhaus is making a name for themselves!

Mike, find yourself a nice piece of land and I'll build you a lovely house in Cobham!

David, I'm doing most of the stuff myself with the exeption of the paint. this will be tackled by either a good friend or a relative who just so happens to own the body shop that pimp my ride UK was filmed at. (bonus!)
