OP you may well be the most qualified person in the world to tell us how they actually drive on UKs less than average roads? Is it a stiff set up?
Love it!

IMI A - regarding the drive on rubbish U.K. roads -it's considerably better at soaking up the bumps than I expected.....when I pull out of some sloping driveways at an angle I'm momentarily on 3 wheels- it's undoubtedly a stiff set up.....but yet it only gets jiggly and nervous on the bumpy B roads if you are doing silly speeds- like well over 100mph.....I understand the Gen 2 991 GT3RS front springs are twice as stiff and rear are 50% stiffer so I think for what I want it for I'm best to stick to the Gen 1.
I really can't recommend the model enough though- I just can't imagine a keen driver buying one and being genuinely disappointed with the performance.
It does get some unnecessary attention though, recently I was driving out of Costa Coffee drive thru when I was confronted by around half a dozen young lads on BMX's who were blocking the exit. The gang leader tapped on my window and said they'd move when I gave them a blast of the sports exhaust!

Ha you should see the roads where I am. UK roads a bumpy racetrack by comparison. Re the car will have to try one some day. One of the nicest 911s I've ever seen yours. Don't blame the lads for wanting a listen - X Factor off the scale

You will be dead a long time- barter hard and go for it...

Having forgotten what they look like yesterday I got my cars out of the garage, looked at them for around 6 minutes, took a couple of photos, then returned them to the garage.
I'm still loving the Mexico blue- can't wait to hit the road on a proper jaunt....
