Having just taken ownership of my first Porsche I thought I start a diary thread for reference and information.
Like many it's taken me a long time to get to this point having spent over a year weighing it all up and sourcing a car I was happy with.
With all the doom and gloom about the well known issues at times it would of been easy to forget it all and I don't know how many hours I've spent reading up the pitfalls but in the end I just took the view " sod it I'm having one"
Having covered all the pre purchase recommendations my hard earned was handed over Thursday night and I drove home feeling a tad nervous but with a huge grin.
So here we are aged 51 a very pleased and proud owner of my first ever Porsche and it's a lovely 997 Carrera 2s manual in Arctic silver
A little more detail about the car/spec etc to follow but right now I'm off for a drive.
