No 981's south of watford ?????
Discussion
Are there ANY people in Surrey or South London that actually own a 981??? I have been seriously looking out for them over the last 4 months since I first walked into the Porsche garage at Guildford and fell for the car... And i have seen ONE (And that was the demo car )actually driving on the roads !!!!!.. I guess when i do actually get one I will be a bit lonely ..... 
Look out for an Agate grey with matching wheels 'S' in Middlesex. Test drive was a revelation; made the 997 C2 I drove feel wobbly and my R8 feel rattly, old and clunky. Apart from an Elise I haven't driven anything with as composed a ride that responds so sharply. It's not cheap but it feels like value!

Nice colour, probably my choice as well at the moment but to be fair it looks damn good in most colours !!! Have u actually got it yet ??? Well i'll be looking out for it then, as with ANY others !! 981 been out for almost 8 months and not seen any , really bizarre .. Very jealous as now realise that my lease on current car does'nt run out till june and i thought it was march !!! I've been told that i'm not allowed TWO cars at once anymore ...

You may see mine in London. I keep it garaged near Amersham and live in East London.
Agate Grey, black roof, Carrera S platinum wheels.
I'm west London , so unless u venture Putney way probably not Agate Grey, black roof, Carrera S platinum wheels.
but at least I know there are at least TWO out there within 100 miles of me Saw one in jersey on the road for the first time the other day. Would have expected to have clocked a couple more by now. Dunno how many have actually been sold locally. First impression was it looked neat, but also massive. Keep playing on the Configurator (gt silver, red interior, aluminium hoops, Carrera alloys, painted panels inside or the brushed aluminium) but I'm not tempted to chop in the Spyder.

So even a little island sees more 981's than London or Surrey !!! Grrrr it's a waste land here lolCarl_Docklands said:
Two or three knocking around this part of south east london but that is it.
Around 900 981's in the country, rarer than the 991 at the moment, we might see a cross-over point come spring not really a rare car but i have seen more 981's than 991's on the road.
Well yet to see one properly in south west london/ surrey area !! I expected to see quite a few more 981's than the 991's but if those stats are right maybe that explains it,,.... Seen loads of 991's though ???Around 900 981's in the country, rarer than the 991 at the moment, we might see a cross-over point come spring not really a rare car but i have seen more 981's than 991's on the road.
Should'nt be RARE but bloody well is over here

Just saw a black 981 S in Hammersmith, West London.
Looked fanatastic
I must just be missing them !!! I drive through hammersmith pretty regularly , so will be ALERT next time Looked fanatastic
black foes look pretty mean but think the lighter colours show off the lines better... Counting down the days till I get one !!! Gassing Station | Porsche General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
