Nine PH Porsches go for a bimble round Europe

[pikey]

I hope some of these might be of interest.

Last week nine PH Porkers (and some random stuff) went for a bit of a drive round some rather empty Spanish and French roads.

'Twas lots of fun

I would like to know a little more about this beastie please!

That's a thread on it's own...

GT2.
Sent to RUF to make it faster.
..and put rear seats in (and the leather / SatNav / aircon)
..and change the rollcage for a removable one
..and something (the two lines above I think) that necessitated it having a Turbo body put on.

I was a little hoovered when he told me but I remembered the basics - GT2, with a Turbo body, and faster.

He's a PHer so no doubt will pop up to say 'Hi' and fill in the details

Sorry guys, Am I missing something here?

That's clearly a 997 Turbo with Aerokit, it even has the Turbo Wheels and Turbo Exhaust.

I know what it looks like - that's why I specifically had a chat about this very point. Ie. GT2s don't have a sunroof, rear seats, Turbo wheels and they have rollcages.. surely it's a Turbo with stickers.

The owner told me this lot (not hearsay), and I have no reason to suspect he might be fibbing.

As for the wheels he said he doesn't normally have those wheels on it, but they were more appropriate for the trip.

Just checked on CC-London - its a 997 Turbo, Did the owner tell you its a 'bespoke GT2?'

Sorry, don't know what CC-London is?

that makes no sense


great pics by the way

No, it didn't make sense to me either. But talking about it in depth to the owner I think the project ran away with itself and what he finished with wasn't what he had in mind when he started.

Too much excitement on the trip perhaps fogging the memory ? He probably said it had some GT2 bits on it ?

No, I'm not. How can you misinterpret someone saying they bought a GT2 and modified it that much. I like the occasional beer, but not THAT much

Oh FFS, who cares?

Typical PH that a thread celebrating a bunch of 911's doing what they were built for turns into a slagging session of someone's car

Absolutely.

btw, did I mention how much I liked spending the day staring at your arse?

Hi everybody,
Well in Pikey's first set of pictures that's my blue Cayman on the way down the Puy Mary.
I thought it was a bunch of PHers hooning through Europe and it seems I was right.

Regards
Mikeyboy

Awesome!

Hello

As you went past I said I bet you were a PHer and if I popped up the pic you'd appear

What I also said was how unusual it is for a Cayman to have the PCCB option. Did you spec yours or were they on when you had it? Bloody good option to have on those passes anyway

If it had the full treatment at Ruf it would have the Ruf wheels on which it clearly does not

As explained above, the owner told me that he put different wheels/tyres on for this trip.

I'm the messenger here - don't shoot me!
