Love a nice 997.

I recognise the username. Fairly sure we used to compete in sprints and hillclimbs?

Yep. There's a pic of me in my Chimaera at Loton Park in my profile.

Amazing how many ex-TVR/old school PHers are now in 911s.

Yep. I know of at least 2 other than me!

Yes, username Pete runs a GT3, as does another TVRCC Speed Champs competitor you would know over in Shrewsbury.

I've had 3 TVRs (2Tuscans and Cerb).
Now running a 997 Carrera "S".

Kinda cheating but.. there's a a lovely 930 turbo at the Riverside transport museum in Glasgow...

Eye-wateringly beautiful restomod at today's PCGB event. Not black, but a really deep aubergine colour. Immaculate and I would have loved to have driven off in it..

Hit a milestone last night!

Lovely !

Delwyn Mallett's '52 356, he's had it for half a century. The car was stolen a couple of years ago, fortunately discovered in a local carpark under a blanket.

Another ex-cerb owner now in a 996 turbo here. The cars share a surprising overlap in terms of talents.

Less so in terms of character. I've never had more fun behind the wheel of any car than my 996 on track. The mixture of communication, raw ability and dependability is perhaps unsurpassed anywhere, but I do miss the smell, sound and lightness of my TVR. I've been reminiscing a lot about it recently.

I had a 996 turbo. As you say, utterly epic machines, especially with a modest 500hp re-map.

I never owned a Cerbera but, did get a lot of seat time in them, as both a driver and passenger. The way the AJP V8 came on-cam was utterly intoxicating and, completely different, but similar in exhilaration, to the boost on a turbo.

I did drive a 997 GT2 once. I can only describe WOT full boost as savage. fk knows how you pedal one around a circuit!

A few from the NEC show last month....

I hate aubergine, but I love that ))

[loughran]

Are you absolutely sure you hate aubergine ?

Nah love it mate

[Mariosbt]

I used to hate ‘Viper’ but love it now.

I love Rubystone.

There, I've said it.



It's not pink I tell you.

Me too. I was an impoverished mech eng student in Manchester when the 964 was at its peak.

I had a poster that was given away with magazine (was it Car?) of a Rubystone 964 turbo on the wall. 99.99% sure that the RS launched after that point.
