Collected my first Porsche today...(993)

[sundiver]

To cut a long story short, started out months ago looking at 996TTs, then moved to 993TTs after I decided I preferred them aesthetically. Then decided I wanted a C4S after realising the 993TT might be a scary introduction and perhaps a license-loser. The C4S as others had told me, has all of the looks of the turbo, just a lot slower but by way of balance, sounds better! My plan is to move from the C4S into a 993TT if things go well.

Well, I picked up my 1997R C4S today. Excellent condition and I looked at a LOT of 993s - maybe 30 in all. Only 36K miles in Artic Silver with full Aerokit 2 - looks the business and exactly like the C4S in the final chapter of Peter Morgans "Orginal 911" book for those that have it...

So far? I've done less than 100 miles getting it home but I love it. Absolutely fabulous noise, beautiful looking and no rattles, squeaks at all. Yep, I think I might be going to enjoy this car. I was ready for the offset pedals but the brakes are something else after the uber-assist of my Audi.

A busy day - I also swapped my RS4 for a A2! I couldn't justify or afford to have the RS and the 911 so went to the A2 to get me to work and keep the bad-days miles off the 911...

Thanks to the many who gave me advice off-forum!

Hmm pics - I have some but I guess I have to host them somewhere and then link via address? Or can they be "hosted" here by being posted direct within the post? If the latter, doesn't that upset the dial-up folks...? If the former, any suggestions for where's an easy option, i.e. free and not pages of forms to fill in?

It's the Aerokit 2 factory option - full kit, front and back.
