Well I picked up my 965 2 hours ago ( earlier than planned) and have just come in from cruising around enjoying the best car i have driven for a long time. the turbo makes the best noise and gives a huge kick in the back but it can be driven nice and sedately with the pop and crackle from the exhaust just egging you on. I dont think this grin is going to go for a long long time.

400 bhp!!! i think i ought to get used to what i have at the mo but certainly down the line, yes please!
The brakes are a factory upgrade apparently and when the front discs and pads were replaced recently the parts came to £1000. i dont know if theyre supposed to be red or not.
Do the mudflaps make much diference to the look?

Is'nt collecting a cool car which you feel you've earned the most wonderful experience? (quote)


oh yeah, i waited for almost 4 weeks to pick up the car but it was all worth it. i have made the decision to leave it in the garage tomorrow and take my golf to work, this may all change by the morning! I look forward to meeting up with some like minded folk to see their cars and play porsches.

Diver944, 500!!! i estimate i have around 330-350bhp at the mo, i think 500 would spin me at the smallest chance, no traction control and 2wd married to a heavy right foot, not a good combination. although having that much horse power would be great to brag about to my buddies!!!!
Thanks for looking at the pictures, judging by the aray of great porsches on this site i take everyones views as huge compliments.
