Completely O/T, but is that a 996? I could have sworn they all revved above 7k before redline??

Is it really wrong to think that looks great?

Which, as I hadn't noticed until recently, matches the interior door handle..

And the outer curve of clock binnacle

And the rear profile of the mirror casing

Bloody hell - hadn't spotted those. (Was the 996 designed by the illuminati or something? )

I really like design details like that.

Its a Turbo isn't it? They revved a little lower than a N/A car.

I'm with cmoose on the 996 design, there's more to it than most give it credit for. It may not have won universal acclaim, but it's nicely proportioned and it's aged well imo (in both adorned and unadorned form)

Are the sensors in the image I posted OE items ?

Put bluntly, if anyone needed them on a 996, they probably shouldn't have been driving one in the first place ....... AG's very discreet way of indicating to the wider world that a numpty was behind the wheel ......

15 pages of my car is better than your (very similar) car :-)

Of course the 996 gets more stick than most and it makes mine sooooo sad:



lol carry on!

That's what tends to happen when you don't use a decent washer fluid additive.......

If my 911 was that dirty I would certainly not be postying pictures of it online, virging on indecency that is!!
