I was waiting for the right 911 (996) to turn up. But alas it did not..

Can't wait! Picking up on Saturday, wil upload pics when I get my hands on it. Was after a Phoenix Yellow to be fair, but they seemed rare in manual guise.

Have been hankering one for a long time. The price and condition of the car was too good to turn down to be fair.

Checked subframe, all history and everything seems legit, I can safely say 343 BHP is the largest figure I have had the pleasure of owning!

I like the Phoenix yellow too. That one that was on the PH home page last year ended up being advertised by a garage/trader. I've recently learned of Messing green and like that lots too.

Hopefully the E46 will be less potential trouble than the 911. Regarding that blue one you looked at, I didn't realise that 911 C4 had reached that level.

I ummed and ahhed for so long. Thought the Porsche could wait a few more years and I just wanted to scratch the 'M Division' itch.

I really want one of these, but by the time I can afford one they'll be old and ropey. Enjoy it, and do a readers cars thread with lots of pictures.

Good work.

You'd be an idiot for buying a yellow one.
