Another New Owner

[robinm]

It's taken a long time but finally got a Porsche (996 911 Turbo).
Also first post on this excellent forum.
Anyone able to recommend best place for maintenance in south Warwicks, north Oxon area. Official dealers within range include Solihull, Reading and Swindon.

If you'd rather a OPC all your local ones seem okay.
Specialist wise I'd suggest Northway just outside Reading. I regularly see 996 T's at Northway so their owners must be as happy as I am with them!

Congratulations on your purchase.
A friend uses Solihull and rates them very highly.

44 months!!! Didn't realise my history was so transparent.
Had a Renault Alpine GTA and a Noble in that time. Both great cars.
Took the 911 out in the wet today - much grippier than the Noble. In the dry I don't think there would be much in it.
And of course build quality - there's no comparison.
And that engine - it feels and sounds terrific. A bit quiet, maybe???
Interior is Matador red leather. Is red as uncommon as I think?
Thanks for all the responses.

Red interior sounds great. What is the exterior colour. Seal Grey? Looks v. good in your profile.

Exterior is in fact Grigio Titanio (Ferrari). Special order by the original owner. Very similar to Seal Grey, but a bit more metallic.
