Very funny OC
The wheelbase is actually identical but the 996 is a whopping 50cm longer and
20cm wider.

I hope you were doing a bit of paintwork after the welding!

I do actually... but if the wife even sees the knife I used to spread it!
I sort of get the orange/red mirrors/wheels on a black GT car but those bumpers on a silver 996.

Nice

What times did you get?

[IMI A]

Smidge under 200mph but beat almost everything to the speed trap. My mate with 600LT reeling at the hammering he took at its hands four drag races in a row same result. 992 was only just ahead

Watched one at a drag a couple of years ago, worst rum was a 10.8 and best 10.5, grip was amazing off the line.

Spot on.

Don’t leave it any longer as garages will close Thursday so you are leaving it right down to the wire

Now.... did you leave it in gear and the handbrake on?

MrsAircooled_Bug said:

But you were driving darling.....

[Aircooled_Bug]

Could you imagine!!! A neighbour of my Mother once left the handbrake off while he closed the garage door. The driveway was on a slope and the road downhill. His three door Cosworth Ended up in the garden wall of another house further down the hill. I can still hear him crying in the street now. Actual tears.

At a beautiful little hotel just north of Le Mans, 2nd October 2019. Highly recommended if you're staying for the 24h du Mans. Gulf Orange Boxster S just visible!

Ahhhh the good ole road-trip days. I took my two sons to Classic Le Mans in 2014. We stayed at a friend's mostly-abandoned farmhouse. Ground clearance was such that the underside of the car was lovingly cleaned by high-quality individually-selected French herbe.

Arriving in the dusk took a leap of faith, as no mowing had been done that year
