For those interested... I've sold the 996 TT
Discussion
A sad day.
As you may or may not know, I'm building my 'grand design' in the Highlands, so have moved to Cumbria for about 18 months till the place is complete.
Having had the empty Western Highland *playground* for the 911, I've been spoilt. Now I'm back to the reality of LOTS of traffic, LOTS of BIB and scameras and LOTS of very narrow lanes with cow poo and soft grass verges. I've been here a month and only been out twice in the turbo.
Watching the car depreciate (997 tt on the way and all) and not even driving it was just too much to suffer. So I enquired (and after much faff) got offered a very good price (more than I thought I'd get), so decided to sell now whilst the market is still *just* on my side.
It's been the perfect car for the Highlands, and as soon as I'm back there, I'll be buying a 'proper' car again (still have an AMV8 on order - but will look seriously at the 997 tt).
Meantime, I have my eye on a rather nice 6 month old 450 bhp RS6 which will do me, the Mrs and the dog for our trips north to the building site.
Decided the word that sums up the 996 tt is: Effortless
Have fun, drive careful.

jeez , you didn't have that long ...just long enough to take the first hit on depreciation 
Buying exotic performance motors from new , normal if you are a footballer or a lottery winner , is only rivalled by developing a casino habit . good luck , see you on a trackday soon perhaps
Hello mate... maybe yet see you on an Easytrack day!
a footballer or a lottery winner
sadly neither, but the music biz has it's moments
