Belted up the M1 this afternoon (bit lively in a 986 with the wind) and 'upgraded' to the 911 above.

Only driven 60 miles so far over the Cat and Fiddle and it looks like a good 'un but early days of course.

First opinions...

Nice noise
Brill suspension and not too low
Plenty fast enough do me


More anon...

Can't beleive that's £12.5k, wow. There was a thread not long ago about ambers and narrow bodies which are growing on me, maybe it's their price.

Nice, well done - enjoy!!!

Lovely!
I was just looking at that advert today.
Some nice options and clearly a very cared for car.
Enjoy!

I'm thrilled but in this weather still vaguely terrified of booting it...

Get a grip man, just drive into the wind-think of the extra downforce on that aerokit!

Ad's been removed now. There were 2 listings for it, dark blue with LSD and Aero kit. Looked nice.

Ahh, ok cheers guys. Sounds good. Although completely different from what was first discussed I reckon all the anti 4 wd topics swayed you towards the C2. smile
