After much deliberation over many years, I finally succumbed to the Porsche itch. I had tried to avoid it for some unknown reason since I spent a week with a mate's new 996 C4 back in 2001 and loved it. The only reason I can attribute to this delay was that the 911 is an obvious choice for a committed driver and therefore, in my mind, to be avoided at all costs...! I have a somewhat eclectic car history predominantly based on impulse buys of less obvious "drivers" cars that in my mind however, have been mostly very cool...
So I have dipped a toe with my local independent, RSJ, (Who have been absolutely stella so far). I have a fairly basic 997.1 C4S manual in black on black. Carrera Classic 5 spokes (RSJ swapped these for me), Sports Chrono, PSE, Sports heated seats. I have added a Pioneer touch screen and 5mm spacers front and back.
Pick it up tomorrow before going away with the family for a few days at the weekend so it will be put away almost immediately. However I have booked a few nights by myself in N. Wales the week after to fling around the Evo Triangle and also to head south during the day to try and catch some action at the Mach Loop...
