and yet more 996s with replacement engines....

www.911virgin.com/996dug.htm

www.portiacraft.com/ (see the one at 22995)

Somehow I think it would be better for specialists not to mention this "bonus"- to me it just sets alarm bells ringing!

[fidgits]

you must really want a 996 para with all the scaremongering your doing about the engines!

[M@verick]

how many 996's were sold in the UK ?.

I dont think finding "another" TWO with some sort of engine replacement (i dont have time to read the links at the moment but from memory Henry's doesnt specify what caused the replacement to be necessary) constitutes a ring-tightening moment for 996 owners everywhere.

I wouldnt (and quite obviously dont) worry about it para.

Oh give it a rest Para.

Yawwwn.

At least the car isn't *ahem* lavender.

Doesn't come across well in photos, greens and oranges are particularly difficult to replicate it. Does go well with the Silver, and I'm not the only person to think that...

Anyways, I'm now this close to keeping it.

Or keep on condition as Jamies motto seems to be....
