Yes I do! good spot. That was last weekend before it went back to JZM for the suspension adjustments.

Feel free to stop by next time you are passing

Especially as you have a 981 we can have a swap round one day

Sounds like a good idea... ..if we ever get out of this isolation period!

It must be quite a hard car to resist not going out for a drive in! What was your ownership journey to the 996 GT3, is it your first GT car?

I just wondered if you'd thought of having a more classic look steering wheel to go with the gauges?

To find the right steering wheel was a big challenge as it needs an air bag in order to keep the car street legal. The original 993 turbo steering wheel didn‘t match at all. This was, in our opinion, the best option, from a Carrera GT. It looks relatively elegant compared to the other option‘s which all are very massiv.

Ah yes, didn't think about that. Sorry re-reading my post it came across a bit negative, didn't mean that, the car looks fabulous. Just thought a nice prototipo world look fab in there.

^^^ I remember walking by Lancaster Bow in 1990 when a poor student and seeing a met green 964 C2 like that on the forecourt outside and thinking I've got to get me one of those one day! (Rodney)

964 and then later 993 were so modern! I remember looking at a 993 like a UFO had landed. The good old days of air-cooled. I was hooked

Tom at 911V sorted me a beauty with this car. Jaz have carried out lots of mods on the car and a big thanks to Sid at Porsche Torque too.

I love the colour combo. ..fantastic pic. I'm booked in with Sid kindly intro'd via Tom. They both bought Yellow Peril up to scratch and continue to keep her tip top too

Yes your car is lovely, I’d like to take a look sometime.

Anytime - she's been living at Tom's - you're most welcome to take for a spin as difficult to understand without a drive. You'll be surprised by the way the engine dominates the experience and razor sharp throttle response of 9m 3.8. Water-cooled imposter a spec in the background about to thunder past

Great, we will have to have a swap!
Ask Tom about my green 964 when you speak to him next, I think you will enjoy having a drive.
Cheers

Tidy. I do like a green car.
Having said that, the two green ones I have had, I hit things with them.

Get it out from the shade of that tree!
