Not condoning some of the driving there but the noises, brutal acceleration and nervous laughing sums up the GT2 for me

It's an old one I think I, it was the subject of its own thread and was roundly condemned on here as I recall ......

Can understand why that might be the case! It just reminds me of the sounds and senses in my GT2 when driving on a good road with the window down, lots of noise and the laugh out loud acceleration.

Crazy driving but, I'm sure on a good sunny day we're all a bit guilty.

Matt at Fearnsport took my car out for a test while Karl and I waited outside, we heard Matt
all the way up the straight leading to the roundabout, from outside we couldn't believe it's the same car
because of the noise under load. Sounded very powerful !

Mine after a quick spring clean today. Whilst the turbos love the icy cool air, I can't subject her to all that salt I'm afraid...

Donutting around a timber yard. Bet their local friendly tyre fitter had a good week sorting that out for them.

Still, we've all done it.

Nice, according to Google today: 246.400 Euro equals 209.97 British Pound - what's the tax & premium portion of that?



J, you asked for pictures of my old 996 with black wheels in an email, sorry a bit late to reply, here's a couple:






Really liked it at the time but probably wouldn't do it on the 997.

25% up to 150k EUR, 20% over that.

So Hammer price (EUR) 199000 and 47300 to the auction house. Or something like that. Surely no tax on an old car..?

A friend has just recently purchased this from the Porsche art gallery that is JZM, 9100Miles on the clock. One of One in that tone, is there a lower mileage car out there ?
Cannnot find fault in the condition.

Gorgeous. When I was hunting for a good 996 turbo, grey would #1 choice for me. I happily settled for silver, but, IMHO grey suits these cars better than anything.

9,100 miles though! What a waste of an opportunity. That needs sorting.
