Bought a '98 4.5 3 weeks ago and cant stop smiling 
Its the noisiest, fastest, most exciting thing I've ever driven, and the response I've had from other drivers/pedestrians has always been positive - unlike my previous porsches which usually resulted in a 1 or 2 finger wave.
I have a few questions about the car though:-
1) Sometimes when pressing the start button the starter turns but doesnt seem to engage, I've read the other posts on here about cerberas eating starter motors, but I would like to know if its something that is likely to be done under warranty. I got a scotsure warranty through Logik tvr in Dunfermline when I bought the car.
2) The baffle in the exhaust is rattling, should I replace it with a standard item or go for the sports exhaust? Is the sports exhaust unbearably loud inside the car?
3) How long does the urge to drive with the window down to listen to the "pops" and "bangs" the car makes last? I live in Aberdeen and am worried about catching hypothermia in the coming months
4) I have rattling brake pad syndrome!! A mechanic looked at the pads and said they had been ground down to fit. Is this common? He said there was quite a lot of play in them and thought they might have been ground down too far!! Being non-technical I just nodded and agreed with him. What can I do to fix this - do I need new pads.

Congrats, welcome to the Club ! 
Won't answer the technical questions, as there are much better qualified people on here that can answer them.
BUT
Re point 2) Yes, fit a sports exhaust !! It might make it slightly louder inside, but the benifits are well worth it !
Re point 3) If you do carry out point 2, you might not ever close them !
