Having had to get rid of the 360 some months back, I went to test drive a number of alternative replacements recently, and the 996 TT wasn't on my list however there was one available to drive, so I thought I'd give it a go having heard everybody raving about it..................... I only went and bloody bought it!! don't tell anybody else though!

Congrats Charlie, I hope you enjoy your new car.
it will be interesting to hear over time how you rate the tuetonic efficiency of UberPork,against the charismatic charms of the Modenese screamer.

Well done Charlie. A very wise choice.

Are you interested in seeing what the car really does? if so you may like to consider joining us at Bruntingthorpe on sunday 12th October. Craigw is organising it.

To be honest, I don't think it's appreciably quicker than the 360 in a straight line, but what really blew me away was the fact that it's so chuckable in a way that 360 just wasn't, however I'll let you all know how it grows upon me!

Charlie,

Black with a black interior and black windows... sounds familier.

What are you going to call yourself now?

Nice one

Charlie...congratulations, you have "seen the light" at last. It will be interesting to see how they compare, once you get used to the TT & have fitted the sports exhaust as per the 360!!!
What is the other Bruntingthorpe run you mentioned, as it looks like I can't make October?

Hi, Charliepimpmobile's brother here -
We have booked a session with Mr sideways (AKA Don Palmer) and are hopeing the weather might be wet! unfortunatly my noble will not be BHP'd 6sp'd and LSD'd up in time so it will not be such a good comparison....

Hi all, Yep couldn't be without a mad car for too long, thanks for your welcome- to answer all the questions, Grant, Dazren mentioned a Bruntingthorpe day in October earlier on this thread and I'll drive the 911 for a while before posting my thoughts on comparisons between it and the dancing donkeys! To be honest though I had intended to go to a 550 Maranello and was so blown away by the 911 I took it instead! Rob, I think for now I'll remain charlie360 as I hope to return to that fold sometime in the not too distant future with a challenge stradale and to my brother- back in your box the porker will blow your Noble into the weeds!
