I'm a bit of a stranger around these here parts, but found this absolute thing of beauty. I can now finally empathise with people that have said 'i would kill, sell my love ones to obtain this car' 
... Clicky
I have always loved this car and had a poster of it in my room (think the registration number was 911 HUL?)

I wish they had left it alone! 
It's wierd... I prefer the newer 911's... even though they look so bland compared to the older ones. I confuse myself over it.
I think maybe the older ones looked too tall..
And the newer ones dont look curvy/aggressive enough.
No matter anyway, I prefer the front engined cars and I cant afford a 911

Forgot to say..many, many years ago, i came back one night (pissed as a fart) and sketched this poster out with a blue marker pen.
Love that red colour!
ROTFLMAO!!Love that red colour!
and yes..it does look GAY!!
A great looking car in it's day, but I can't decide if I still like it now. Front end seems to be dating a little dubiously, while the original 911 remains timeless. I think the 997 looks great right now, so be interesting to see how that dates. For driving fun I'd prefer the 993 to the modern blandness.
The interior is questionable, however Arena Red is the absolute best colour for a 993 Turbo or C4S. Dealers are always on a downer on this colour but it just shows the sexy curves better than no other colour.
It was an Arena 993 that got me back looking at Porsche after a 10yr away period.

Thats nothing Lagerlout. Check out the poster, but please excuse my cousin's 'man-boobs' (he was partially nude due to taking a before/after photo during a dieting/running regime)
I hope that's the 'before' picture.The 993 turbo is, to my mind, the best looking 911 yet made. Closely followed by the 964 Turbo.
Just love the mix of old school 911 shape and smooth modernity that these cars have. The 996 became too smooth, I think.
Despite the fact that the 996 turbo is better in every way than the 993 turbo (and for that reason will one day be the TT I invest in), the 993 is my favourite. In maritime blue or black.

I wonder if they ever did a 993 turbo in that baby blue colour Just love the mix of old school 911 shape and smooth modernity that these cars have. The 996 became too smooth, I think.
