well they were goin the otherway, then an unmarked five o flashed me to slow down by wavin his hand in a frantic manner, thought it was one of my mates, but the both of them are on hoiliday so i decided to slide the foot off the evil one, the car suprisingly slowed down and just there sneakly tucked infront of a huge road sign, they almost looked one, was a speed van, looked down, 68, not today sir so if you were those cops in the unmarked car thanks boys, i suppose you've been caught before then? On a serious note, the car starts to vibrate as the speed climbs above 140, any theorys on that, beer nick

Hi glad your enjoying the 996 RS, They are also great road cars as i've found out myself.

The vibrations could be the tyres if not get the geo checked out, give Parrs a call.

You've got a special car.

hi mate, car was just set up at parrs, fast road set up, new corses fitted so i dont no where to go from here, the car is so easy to drive with impeccable manners, the driving position is perfect and the brakes are truley awesome, the only trouble is- how long is my licence going to last, at this rate a few more hours i guess the car just wants to be driven flat out, the noise of the engine reving till the limiter shouts at you to change gear, i must keep telling myself to slow down or i will have no licence to drive it, now that would be a pisser, i think i will have to have hypnotherapy off paul mckenna, you will drive like your grandfather - you are a snail- every body will laugh at you if you go over 60mph, perhaps it will work beer nick

enjoy, the car will be the death of me, the car has been up arond the 140's about 20 odd times today and the longest straight is no more than 400 yards where i live, i will have to watch out for those bumpy little back roads, the car dont half hop and skip around, felt like i was going to get bucked off the road and end up in some farmers feild, by the way i have never seen or had a car that is sowell looked after, even the inside of the wheels were polished, speak to you again sometime,beer nick
