You have to be sure of yourself as we pulled up, the whole place stops dead, the Staff say park in front of the main door !!

So you have 400 eyes on you.

Took a fried who was shocked at the responses and made a comment about every one looking as we sat in the car ready to get out , and I guess it would put some people off owning these cars.

Lucky me and my mate are two very fit and stylish good looking chaps :-)

As I watched most people who went to look at the car, the main point was "manual" and nod of the head, C&M "accepted" :-)

It's a sexy car though, the 992 GT3 cannot match the looks imo.
My husband and I never feel self conscious being seen in our manual, red GT3, I get what you are saying about respect for the manual, it’s not what people expect what with us being flamboyantly gay.

I studied the picture, before reading your caption and that was my thoughts too. hehe

I have decided, my post-Covid resolution (we all have them,surely?) is that life is too short to drink st beer.

She replies “not in the hands of that guy though... don’t you know no he is? It’s 911R off Pistonheads “.

She looks to camera and then says “some say that ......”

That's good. Those two weren't exactly stylish or lookers.

Ouch !!
Unlike me of course (I wish). They're probably frequent posters on PH...

Drive out to C&M late evening.

Nice looking car. Close to the spec that i'd have if I wanted a 991 GT3 too.

lucky for me, that's not mine with that tat reflecting stitching in the dash :-)

You do realise every 997 and all models had white dials standard btw.
Suprised the take up not as high, as every one likes it and even the base 997 models have them let alone the turbo s etc.
without white dials the whole dash is black !!! I find that a bit odd.

Shame Porsche stopped white dials and made you pay for what was once standard.

yes my Carbon wing mirrors maybe TAT but they look cool as f*** :-) again breaks up the car, and people get it wrong as they spec sports mirros also which makes the bottom black and look st.

keep the mirrors standard and tick Carbon and again imo it looks the bomb.

after 9 porkers I have imho nailed the spec, and no stty 918 seats either :-) I have the lighter, softer, but more durable, tighter fitting and heated buckets, one of their best seats and another shame it's gone as you now cannot have heated seats in your buckets in a GT car or a open top car !!!!!
Big mistake from Porsche !!!

early 718 Spyder with folding heated buckets will be rare as hens teeth and the most sort after.

Always bothered me why Porsche proudly display all the EML/tyre pressure etc etc gubbins on the dials rather then them being invisible (unless a warning) like other manufacturers. Makes them look so cluttered to my eye. They also make me worry as it clearly means they're needed, a lot laugh.

And that's why you shouldn't spec "tat" white dials and you should go for the standard GT product black with a grey rev counter:
