Looking good Adam. 8)

I hope you set your son away on scrubbing those arches out once you got home. :D

Cheers Mark :D

Arch scrubbing ..
hate to say it's not been cleaned yet :eek:

It will though .. cleaned and tucked up under cover on charge :grin: :thumb:
 
Well done Adam, you secured a beauty there. I actually contacted Mark when he was selling it, but I was just too late and his friend (Mark again) has taken it. Enjoy it!! Give me a shout when you've had your fun though. :D

Many thanks Marc - Yep, really pleased !
I'm really looking forward to getting some more time out in car the in the spring. 😎
 
Finally got round to giving the car a wash and polish today (as was filthy after last run) before tucking her back up.

PS excuse the temp cr@ppy ill fitting car cover (I have a new one on the Xmas list) :D

Thanks very much! :D
Are you thinking of a 996 to accompany the 993 then ?
Beautiful 993 BTW!!

996's are great cars and a relative bargain in comparison :thumbs:

Sadly the 993 is for sale, need to get a deposit together for a House purchase..

I think I'll be Porscheless for a few months [or longer!] until I can even start to think about starting to look for a P-Car.. But yes, a 996 will be sought.. Gen 2 Carrera 4 I was thinking..
 
Congrats on getting a great car :thumb:
Anything else planned for it? Or just enjoy it?

Thanks Lee - really looking forward to getting some use of it in better weather next year 8)

Re anything else planned.. not much at all cosmetically as in my eyes it's pretty perfect (thanks to Mark :grin: )..

Bits I have in mind..
- Think I'm going to swap the Carrera badge for a simple black '911" badge.
- Might paint centre console body colour.
- I may consider a short shift kit but not major priority.

They're the only real things that spring to mind at the mo and these aren't really urgent.

Other than that, keep well maintained (whatever it needs), keep polished and enjoy
:thumbs:
 
No real progress in term of mods/maintenance as it's been snugly wrapped up since Dec, but needed to post as love this car !

1st run out of 2020.
Warmed her up gently then had some fun.
Massive smiles 😁
With all that's said about the m96 motor, it's a peach when it's on song ..
Proper smile car 👌🏻

Roll on spring 😎😎
 
Nice one Adam. 8)

Another month to go until mine comes out.
I got your message. Goodstuff, glad you're enjoying it.

Speak soon. :thumb:

PS. It looks great in that last shot. :thumbs:
 
A while since an update.
Not really much to report as 2020 been a quiet year for Porsche trips out and usage.

I have however managed to get to 2 meets recently and the car was awesome and I thoroughly enjoyed the drive outs.

1. Brands Porsche fest (scaled down) with my son (Porsche nut in the making):

2. Beaulieu 'simply Porsche"

Car looks great and well sorted, but I am a bit bias towards that model with the aero kit😄

Thanks Neilios
It's a very sorted car ! :D
And no probs about being bias :grin: :thumbs:
 
Hi all

Just a small update.. well 3 digits .. '911' :D

Today had small paint blemish on the boot lid sorted (detailed in Mark's thread - pg1) and took the opportunity to replace the 'carrera' badge with a simple '911'.
Something I've been meaning to do since I've had the car but one thing or another (mainly lockdown) has stalled this.
I'm very pleased with how much such a simple change has made to the look and think it looks great. Much simpler than the carrera and suits the rest of the look of the car :

Before:

After:

F499-A0-CF-44-F9-40-DC-B9-F3-E40-FF751-D393.jpg


Next on the list (before summer Wales road trip):

X4 new MPS2's
New speakers (to replace tinny standard Porsche/Nokia speakers)
Maybe a short shift
