well, not sure if the 997 wheels are from a GT2, or if the standard seats kinda give it away...

But it certainly is a cheap 911 if you have a hard on for the GT2

though surely you'd make a 4wd Carrera into a TT rather than GT2?

I bet slippydiff will be gutted he could have got himself a bargain there! Seriously though what goes through peoples minds when it comes to what looks good on a car I just dont know.

Gotta be something not right about it.
i would be very careful with this one, 996's may have had a downturn in prices but this is taking the p@ss scratchchin

I just collected a 996 GT2 this morning, thankfully it looked nothing like that.

It is very bizzare neither one thing or the other. Its also a pet hate of mine people putting false badges on the car. You've either got one or you have'nt, if your putting a false badge on a car your more or less admitting that the car you own is not the one you want.

Oh dear.

You know I see a Vauxhall Cavalier saloon, circa 1989 going around town in Dumfries, in mat black paint, with red vinyl decals along the boot lid proclaiming it to be a "DODGE CHARGER"

And this car is making me see it in the same light...

It just needs a decal or two to say "Cup" here and there to really make it a class conversion

No!!

The best bit?


The colour coded (to match the vinyl decals) gloss red WHEEL TRIMS(!!!) on it are most certainly a distraction.

Oddly no one steals them?...

I'll try my best to get a photograph of the beast when I can without arousing the Chav king of spades who obviously has put a lot of time and spray cans of mat paint into it!

Can't wait to see it!
Whats so sad is these individuals actually spend time and money on cars like this, they should just leave them to die gracefully.
There used to be a car in my neck of the woods a few years ago which was basically a 1985 Metro with a 6R4 kit on it, wait for it......standard 12-13" shoes on and a 1000cc engine!!
This was painted in a lovely warm shade of undercoat Grey, you have to say a well sorted piece of 80's history...as you can imagine the local lads loved it! smokin

Is that one in your profile photo then?

Only kidding.

I guarantee you that I have a copy Rolex that would fool a good jeweller unless he took it apart!

Luckily no one is doing that with Porsches to sell at retail!

Except Ruf, Tech9, 9ff, Specialist Cars,

Ed I see you've got an Audi A4 S-line too!

I have had several, including an S4,

although I'm a bit biased - I sell Audis!

Which motor did you get?

TDi or 2.0T
