Hot stuff!!...nice motor..how's the temp now?..has it settled down after the work? Is this a common prob with the 996? or just the TT. Hope all is well...bet your heart sank a bit when they said it was'nt covered!!

[Vesuvius996]

Yeah, thanks for the concern.

They did it on goodwill so fair play to them.

Hey Versuvius, congratulations! Nice one!
Must be really special having your P&J on a front cover, especially a first issue.

[koenig999]

Congrats, nice pics, well buffed up!

Your machine is just like mine, except I have Sport Design II wheels. Lots of people have commented on the colour, of which perception changes according to the light.

I had my coolant tank changed pre-purchase, the splitting seems to happen a lot.

Yeah, a relief it was nothong more sinister!!

Fair play to OPC East London for doing it on goodwill. As I said, fair play to them

Looking forward to the 12th when the mag comes out!!

i'm obviously losing the plot following the w/e - but isnt the car on the cover a black 996 ? i thought yrs was purplish

[johnny senna]

I've subscribed to that mag, I look forward to seeing it.

[koenig999]

What I said..

Depending on the light the colour can appear blackish, dark grey, purple, even a bit reddish!

Koenig

[Vesuvius996]

Aye. Wait for the mag to come out.

Lovely! I had a '98 c2 manual Vesuvius with savanna as my last 996 for 5 years. The colour is rare and just awesome! First used on the 993 c2S. I’ve never seen a turbo or GT3 in that colour though.

More congrats

Seen the mag today, very nice pictures & interview, very glossy and clean!

Mine looks like it has a sandstorm on top ot it today - what was in today's rain?

Oh well, time to get out the Flash car wash system at the weekend!

Koenig

[Vesuvius996]

Well thanks, although I haven't seen it yet!!

Was a bit worried about the interview as it was written by the journalist after a phone interview, so I don't even know what was in it!! Anyone car eto enlighten me as to what it says??!


Ah well, guess I'll have to wait a couple more days.

[vixen1700]

Looked nice in the mag.

My favourite though was the Maritime Blue 964RS going round the track with the German style number plate at the front.

Is that legal over here, as he had a normal British plate at the back?
