The Eagle Has Landed!!

[Ballcock]

It's too early to give definite opinions on this lil beauty , I've only driven about 300 miles (work , harrumphhh) since picking her up from RSJ on Tuesday , but I thought you lot might like to see her in all her splendor..

Many many thanks to Damien and Joel for their help and support in sourcing , buying , servicing and detailing the car.
RSJ showed amazing patience thru the whole process , always willing to chat through all that was being done to my new car.

Thanks as well to Sid the engineer there , he sure does know his stuff!!

The pics speak for themselves!!

Gorgeous car you have there.

I've never bought a car there but have to agree they are really helpful and patient.

[Ballcock]

Thanks Vr , I'm absolutely stoked at the moment , I have not found one thing wrong with the car , it's like as if she's just left the factory.

And the great thing about the boys at Rsj ... They don't even stock 993's .
But when I told em that that's what I wanted , they didn't try 'You don't want that one , we'll sell you a nice 996'.

Once I'd found this car , they did all the bits that needed doing to bring it up to ... Well ... Showroom condition ...

Now all I've got to do is keep it like this ... That's going to mean never driving it again!!
Especially on Irish roads!!

Excellent stuff Barney - looks great! now then, I understand from Ireland that there's only 1 tunnel in Ireland - best make the most of it!

Thanks ole fruit

Actually there's two tunnels in Ireland .. Both to be explored very shortly .. The sound of this thing on full tilt is feckin memorizing. Can't wait.

Well done, looks very nice, a proper Porsche for a proper price, none of this paying over the odds bit either

Cracking car mate, i love the 993. I would have one but im scared of the high mileage on the ones i can afford. Have fun!!!

[Ballcock]

I don't know why most of those pics were so small .. This ones the right size..

[TOENHEEL]

Paintwork looks superb, i saw a silver 993 yesterday up my way and it was neglected such a shame. Its great to see these cars in mint condition.

[Boo152]

Well done Ballcock! You wont regret it....

Oh, and Toenheel....

Dont be afraid of higher mileage 993s as long as the history and condition is right.
My 993 has done over 102k and still runs beautifully because I've looked after it properly.

regards
Tom

How come you have gone for a 993 after a 996? What's next a 964 ?

Good question Woogstable , answer .... I don't know!!

I hope to find out in the next few months whether or not I've made the right decision , I know I'd always be wondering ,if I never owned one.

One thing for sure , as I get more comfy with the 993, I'll be buggin and borin d'arses off y'all with my comparisons..


AIMHO of course

[Pickled Piper]

Peachy!

Enjoy. There is nothing quite like a 993.
