It certainly is that orange in the sunny south of France.

Only in dreary SE London does it look 'terracotta'.

Jc, piccys are all very well....have you driven it......why are you not out in it now???

Tell us more (when you get back)...Pleeaase!!

Of course I've driven it. Pesky customers wanting to speak to me have dragged me back to the desk.

There'll be plenty of reportage once I've torn up the south of England over the weekend.

I believe it's true of most 911s because of the steering column not having to pass through where the tank is situated. Mine is 89 litres as opposed to 63 litres for RHD.

Sorry to gatecrash your thread Jeremy, but I still champion Zanzibar 'cos it's such a rare and IMO desireable colour

So what are your first impressions of the 997 Jeremy ?

Couldn't give a f*ck. Looks orange enough to me. Put me on your shortlist if you decide to sell it.

Thank. Yow.



Edit - and thanks for the pics, slippy. Got my new screensaver.

Sticky Michelin something-or-others. One of their cut-slicks-for-the-road range.

Edited to add: Pilot Sport Cups I think - I'll check when it's light outside.

More impressions and comparisons from the Reservoir Dogs later ....

Nice cars, bet your going to have a great weekend.

Reckon i have put your car to a face, seen you at a few BaT events with DLT in your caterham, the last being the little incident at Brands last year!

So jealous. (i am going furniture shopping!)
