Seems expensive. Is that steering wheel OE?
I think it's one of the Raid wheels that Gert Carnewal sells (or sold, he seems to be running down his stock).
As the interior is blick another wheel can be sourced easily enough.

It likely more to do with it's sitting on an uneven gravel driveway.

Looks a desirable spec if someone was willing to put a bit of work in and didn't mind it not looking OEM. The recent work reads well too.

Looks nice, and exactly what I'll be looking for in a few months I hope.

Would if I wasn’t working that weekend!

Hopefully I’ll be able to get the car out to some more of these...

I've checked the weather lads and it looks like temps are going to drop from now till Sunday. Are you boys going come rain or shine / sub zero weather?

I've organised it so I'll be there even if it's snowing laugh

Looks like it will be cold but sunny, you can eat/drink inside the café. If everyone goes that has said they're going there should be about 25-30 cars there smile

I'm not sure I can be bothered sliding around in sub zero temps just to see a few cars. Maybe I'm just not a true enthusiast. Unless I rock up in another Porsche wearing winter boots.

22 cars on the list from 911UK forum, and a similar amount from the 996 and Porsche owner facebook pages combined. You don't have to go, I won't be (too) upset if you don't. Just and excuse to get out of the house on a Sunday morning and have some fun on quiet roads. The next one will be in March Basingstoke way, and I need to find somewhere around Surrey for the May meet smile

I use Blackbushe cafe for meets I've organised. Also used Fairoaks but their cafe can only cope with a small group. Other side of Surrey I've also used Redhill Aerodrome. If you want something with some indoors activity then I've also used MB World and Brooklands.

That's handy info thanks. I did think about MB World as it's part of our group so I could probably sort something out. Brooklands would be interesting, worth a call.

The specification includes GT3 Aero kit,
No it doesn't.

It's got the Aerokit 'Carrera' rear wing (the Aerokit 'Cup' had the rear wing that looked like the GT3), and the front bumper is just the standard Carrera bumper, suggesting it was done aftermarket.
