Gorgeous - worth selling the Mustang for!!!

Can't quite agree with that

Still, that's a pretty impressive beastie, Benny

I know you don't like 911s TT so I'll take that as a big compliment

Lovely!

What make are the tires on the rear?

They are Dunlop somethings. The guy we bought the car off doesn't rate them and has told us to go for P Zero Corsas when they are due for a change. I've not looked in to it yet so need to do a bit of research.

Fair enough

Just looking for something to replace my Advan Neova's with, cant get em for love nor money in the UK(well you can but £700 for a pair imported )

[RobCrezz]

Very nice!

Noticeably quicker than then 'stang in a straight line?

These are AWD right?

[benny.c]

The Mustang is quicker in "normal" driving conditions with all the low down torque, but drop a gear in the Porsche to spool up the turbo and it'd leave it for dead.

It's a hairy chested RWD

Edited for accuracy matey

I hope you're still going to post your exploits on www.s197.co.uk and don't forget your old retro American friends

Sounds exciting

[benny.c]

The whole ending up in a hedge backwards thing is a bit of a worry I'll admit

Still going to post on the Mustang forums but wont mention the Porsche unless asked about it. You American car owners can be a bit crazy I can see myself getting a classic or fox sometime as a daily driver

[Neil.D]

Bad boys right?? FY!

[OlberJ]

Absolutely bloody stunning.

Your exhaust's a touch squint though, best get that sorted out

[vrooom]

I am jealous, that is the ultimate porsche, and you got it!

[john185k]

you

[Mini_Lund]

Congratulations to you both!

Is the engine a modified 3.3? Think, the 3.6 introduced later? I'm not up on my porches, however have seen a fair few porches about the Wirral!

The clear indicator lenses certainly clean the front end up conciderably.

[m4tt]

That really is superb! And in a gay way I really like your mates house, looks cool.

[jaik]

Good lord, that's a tasty bit of kit! Enjoy it!

I'll get right on it boss

We didn't just get married

The engine is the 3.3. The 3.6s go for silly money and are getting quite rare now from what I can tell. Usually I'd keep amber lenses on an older car but I quite like the clear ones on this. Just need to get some of those silver tipped bulbs so you can't see any orange.

porsche porn... lucky man

Sorry for being presumptuous!

Silver tipped bulbs are a good idea, never though of that! Nevermind, I've tinted the front indicators of the mini anyway. Currently refurbing the doors as they're both rotten. Chopped out most of the bottom of the door skin & frame, as you saw from the last Cottage Loaf meet, you could see through them! A spot of winter tidying never went amiss!

Can't wait to see/hear this Porche in the flesh.

[benny.c]

I'll give you a shout before the weather gets really horrible and meet you at the Cottage Loaf for a pint.

Work on Minis never ends
