The big 5-0

[boony]

Got the car 30th April this year just a tad under 40k on it, tonight coming home from work hit the 50k mark!



Still runs absolutely mint. What sort of mileage can I expect out of this before i'm into engine rebuild territory?

I suppose an average of 30k miles a year isn't going to do a lot of good for the resale value eh? Nay matter, I got it for driving and while it keeps putting the smile on my face I'll carry on driving it every chance I get!

At about 50.5k .....nah just kidding, if you treat her right there's no reason you will need a re-build for years. You'll be on your 4th Porsche by then......( and someone else can do it!)

Its just run in fella... you can start using the full rev band now.

You get my reply e-mail Fran?

There must be examples of the 996 TT with well in to 6 figure mileages in the USA? They rack up huge miles and on relatively poor quality fuel in certain states.

The price difference in the classifieds looks like £4-5k for 40k miles over "normal". Well worth it.

I'll call your 20 and raise you 20, plus a giant bar of fruit 'n' nut!

It's the only way - although mine only goes to 0.6 with the odd 0.7. This should be sorted out soon though

Those kind of photo's aren't for the public domain unforunately.

That kind of line never fails to crack me up. Porsches are supposedly the pinnacle of automotive engineering. So why are people so shit scared of ones that have actually been driven?
