[prettyboyben]

Cheers mate! The 3 hour drive this morning won't be able to pass quick enough! Haha!

[Shiverman]

Enjoy! There is nothing quite like picking up your first Porsche and enjoying the first drive. Don't forget to post some pictures and I hope the weather is drier than it is round my way today.

[Nimerino]

Congratulations! Pics are, of course, obligatory once you've picked the car up

[sebulban]

Congrats and enjoy!

[evodarren]

Picked the car up and am absolutely over the moon!!! Love it. Comfy, yet special! Need to get better acquainted with it, but first impressions are superb!!! Will get some pics up soon.

Hope the handbrake holds!!! Nice car - White is officially the fastest colour.

Great colour choice sir... It's a absolute bugger to keep clean. But when it is, it looks absolutely fantastic. That comes from experience, as I too have an Atlas Grey 997.

Enjoy

Bet the launch control on that is good!

[prettyboyben]

Thanks guys! Yeah shewie, the colour is absolutely stunning in the metal.

Here's a pic from when I picked it up:



Loving it so far.

Lovely looking motor OP, nice colour.

My daily is in for a nearside wheel bearing and hub so I have the pleasure of driving the 80 mile round trip to work in my gen 1 today

Enjoy

I love the shape of the 7.1 C2S and it's a great drive too (in manual, that is). Great purchase! I owned one for a couple of years. Only a GT3 was able to get me out of it

congrats - great looking car and lovely colour

[prettyboyben]

Thanks guys! I'm using this as my daily driver and I've got to say it is so nice to get into at the end of a long day. The only problem is it's making the days drag as I'm itching to get in for the drive home! Haha!

welcome to the 911 fold......this is why we buy Porsches especially any of the 911 variants.....they simply make you smile

Congratualations!!!!

Excellent wheel option also as these are Carrara Classics are super easy to keep looking brand new as they are so easy to clean and a very elegant design. Enjoy and glad to hear you are going to use it.

[Thorny]

Ah! You bought the Guildford car! Was looking at that myself the other day!
