Parked outside my office today is a 997 Ruf turbo dark blue with savannah interior and leather covered 1/2 cage is it anyone on here? anyone know the owner?
We are having a bet in the office as to weather its a man or womans car if its a man i guess he has a ponytail as there is a scrunchie in the gearstick.(my bet is its a bird as on wheel is on the pavment;-)
I am amazed I am saying this but it is the only car i have ever seen with a savannah interior that looks 'right'

Seen a similar car around the west end a few times,sounds like same driver, number plate sits on the dash,,,only difference is, I am sure the one I have seen was supercharged and not an R turbo

The Chinatown car has RT12 air intakes so I presumed it was a Turbo do they do those as an option on the other models?

It is supercharged but had the rt12 intakes put on as they looked good and always trying to delude myself that i would get a really expensive engine change in a few years!

My girlfriend drives the car more than me hence the scrunchy on the gearstick. The cars looking a bit worse for wear now due to living in london. Will need a respray and suspension looking at when it goes back 'home' next.

Sorry guys, can't get pics up as they are all stuck on my laptop and i have no links.

Thanks Bo! Just wanted something which wasn't the 'bloodorange' all the RT12's seemed to be ordered in at the time. Having said that, Leon's proper RT12 looks very mean in all black. Would love to see his car at some point. Already been driven in one a couple of years ago and couldn't see where we were going 'cos i was being thrown about so much!!!

Cheers
