Hmmm. Review of new 911 Turbo and a 996 buyers' guide.

Mentions RMS and engine failures of course..............


Anyone else see the GT3 in the classifieds, 16k miles, £38k.....!!!

Yes sir..... After a discussion (one way!) with the Bank Manager I have decided to stick with it for a while. Have fallen back in love after a good wash and polish session followed by a good blat.

On a serious note, could you please PM me with price of the big oval zorst trims?

Sticking to the original thread, I was very disappointed with the article.

I have read Autocar (on the bog of course) for many years and have hugely enjoyed that particular authors previous work. However, the "996 buyers guide" seemed to be a piece cobbled together on the back of a fag packet 10 minutes before deadline.

Did I read correctly - engine out for RMS replacement?

Do you have clear front lenses for a 996 (2000) ? If so how easy are they to fit?


cheers

Thanks for the call. Happy to help as discussed. Would you be interested in a short piece on the last two years with the 996?
