P1ATO

[supermono]

Spotted a/c on the M25 this afternoon a beautiful grey 997 turbo, first time I've seen one actually on the move. I've seen it before at Solihul when I was checking out the midnight blue ex-plato X50. Looked like the man himself was behind the wheel.

What a stunning looking piece of gear that is. Definitely on the list...

That is indeed the man himself. He's had 911's as personal transport for a long time IIRC. Maybe off to Brands for the BTCC?

The guy obviously knows his cars driving TTs

[guyvert1]

what a life eh..........

[polarexpress]

as in this month's 911&PW...

[968csreading]

I saw him when he had this plate on a 993TT

[Erik997]

I believe he's gone:

993TT --> 996TT --> 997TT

At least he's consistent..!

[MaKSiNG]

What a Legend!!! Really does know his cars then.

Didn't he order/own a F430 at one point?

[magic torch]

Perhaps he wants a comfy cruiser for when he's not in a racing car?

bit like your engine then!

According to the spread in 911 & PW, He rates 993 TT as the best he's had.
Had a 355, and didn't like the world staring at him.........what do you expect in one of these guys? Personally still think the 355 is a pretty nice car for a Fez.
Good to see the man has a good taste in Porkers.

[911_OMG]

Yep, P1ATO was indeed parked up at Brands today...

On 5th Gear when they tested it, he said he had ordered one. On the show where he tested the 997TT, there was a throwaway comment implying that he had cancelled the Fezza. Cannot remember the quote.

Hence the nice discreet plate on the 997!

Spotted again Today around Oxfordshire villages

Lovely Panamera turbo.

Minus style points for wearing a baseball cap in a car

Congratulations for resurrecting a 14 year old thread. I wonder where he's been hiding all this time
