993 4S ..... did I really think of selling

[Bieldside]

So ............I have had my 993 4S for 17 years , my first Porsche

Last year 200 miles , year before 400 miles

Think that I should sell ............not used, in storage etc etc

Then I say to myself , drive the car and then decide

So I did and have enjoyed the car again . Such a great thing ! They don't make cars like it anymore

Gave a friend a lift and he could not believe it was over 20 years old - smooth, rock solid, lovely noise, great smell

Am I selling ? NO NO NO

Well said OP. Such lovely, characterful cars. I sold my silver 993 C4S, which had the full Turbo bodykit and was absolutely mint, back in 2005 after a couple of years of ownership. Used it as a DD, which probably wasn't the most sensible thing in the world, but I did enjoy it. Always regretted selling it. Should have bought something else as a DD and kept the C4S for weekends, fun trips, holidays, etc. C'est la vie.

You see I got the “ it’s worth so much money I can’t use it “ syndrome
Stupid really !!
Why have it and not use
Can’t agree more - they prefer use than lying unloved
So I’ll use it more and rotate it with my other motors
