I feel that soon these prices may hit the moon ! Anyone who says otherwise is clearly a fool.

Oh I dunno, as soon as the 997TT comes out the speculators will get excited about something else. And in 6 years time I'll get you a 997C2S for 25k. Bubbles tend to burst.... eventually.

Great car tho'.

In 6 years time you won't be able to buy one for less than list. These cars are guaranteed future classics and in fact they might outperform the housing/stock/wine/art markets over the next decade.

By the way all other Porsches will be worth 0.01p as they are virtually worthless

Oh right, I thought you were being serious for a sec. Silly me.

Everyone knows the aircooled RSs and GT2s will be the only things truly appreciating.

Thread on 996TT prices going up wasn't funny either (and the original thread - if you bother to read it - didn't imply such). Also key to humour is: the first time something may be funny but repeat it a second time and I'm afraid not.

I have read that one and very tempted to offer some sillyness to proceedings but I fear Fulham boy would beat me down with his witty stick.

of course but only if you offered something you thought was funny but actually was as well received as Bernard Manning at a mixed gay pride / civil rights convention...

You know sometimes there are guys here which have really been shafted and do need advice,but imo that guy is taking the piss just by posting.
First he does'nt tell the full story then he says it makes no difference?
If ever a thread needed a joker its that one.
On another subject,as i know you can be serious when promted,hows your car going?
What i,m really asking is how many miles have you done?Any problems rattles,warranty stuff,as its my next car.

I have put 10k miles on it and no real problems. Had the RMS issue sorted at 4k miles and it has been running without using oil since. I do have a weird creak sound from the steering when the car has been driven for ages (at least a couple of hours) so that is just annoying but not a disaster.

Otherwise the car has run faultlessly on track and road. I have been through 3 sets of tyres so far and have absolutely loved the -20mm and lsd setup which is plenty comfortable on the road and ace on track.

Would I recommend one? Yep
Will I buy another? Yep and I also might add the aero kit for the next one as it looks awesome in Black.

Rms after 4k,maybe its the same fool building them at the factory for the last 10 years!
I agree on the black,ive had two now and 3 in silver.
Its much easier to touch up,never looks chipped and the always dirty car is a myth,in basalt anyway.
Must agree awsome car,and with the exhaust well paradise,glad you like it.

I have a Tubi on mine because it was not available at the time of order but I love it just as much as the PSE. Neighbours don't

And now the fun has stopped I can add my twopen'th.

I've had mine for 8 months and 9k miles now. No major problems, save for driver's floormat wearing through after just 4k (replaced f.o.c. by OPC Hatfield even though I didn't buy it from them) and slight rattle behind dash.

Glad to hear you're enjoying the Tubi - I bottled out in the end. Never mind, it's getting too cold to drive with the windows down anyway...

You don't need the windows down to enjoy it

This rattle thing seems to be quite common amongst these cars. Have you found anybody who is good at sorting these out or are all the OPC's much of a muchness for this issue? The most annoying thing for me is that mine is probably coming from the steering column but only manifests itself after a particularly long drive.

They are a basta.d to sort out1
I know the score,you take it to opc they drive it and its gone!
You end up driving home pissed off with the rattle to keep you company.
All i can suggest is keep taking it back till its sorted while you have the warranty.
It might be the strut top,they are rubber inside and if damaged it clicks or creaks,did it on mine and they are'nt under warranty.

To be honest, it's not annoying enough to get looked at yet. It's nothing like the one in my 996, which sounded like a loose cable or something. I've only just noticed it, so whether it's to do with the plastics being colder these winter days, I don't know.
