The 997 Appreciation Thread
Discussion
but the catch being i need to fit a child's seat in the rear 
. Any suggestions please? The little one is 4 going on 24!!!
I'm lucky enough to have had three 997's, and have loved each one...
1. another vote for 'Seal grey with crab claw', loved the purity of the CarreraS shape, lacked for nothing in terms of performance, just a little nervous with that engine :-o
2. first foray into GT3'dom, a lovely (but poverty spec) gen1, tracked a few times but kept falling out of the seat! Should have waited for a clubsport
3. third time lucky - a Gen2 clubbie with ceramics, the keys to which they will have to prise from my cold dead hand!!

I'm dithering about 997 GT3s (still). Aside from falling out of the non bucket seats, was there a lot of tangible difference between .1 and .2 GT3?

I know where that is! Right next to where I live. I'm glad to also have a trusty Audi S4 for those kind of conditions!
Also, what hit your windscreen??
It was a rock. I was slowing down as I was approaching the toll booths near Milan [ring road maybe?]. You can see them in my rear view mirror here. I had been hitting speeds of 140 but as I slowed down I was maybe doing 100. I saw the rock fly up from the wheels of a truck in front. You know when you duck well this time it was warranted. I called Porsche Assistance who politely told me they dont cover glass even though this is the highest possible European breakdown cover known to man. I explained there was a hole in the glass which surprised the lady and she asked me how fast I had been going which I declined to answer. Anyway my options were wait at the side of the road for days or drive home with a punctured screen. The drive home was the worst drive of my life. Around 1000 miles without being able to use the wipers as they were pulling the tape off and driving at around 60 max for fear that more air pressure may force the screen in on me. Every bump in the road had me sheeting myself.Also, what hit your windscreen??
