As some of you may remember I was looking at getting rid of my 430 Spider and getting back into a 911. Well after driving both a gen 1 and a gen 2 I went for the Gen 2, I just thought there was a big difference between the cars.

Anyway got the car on Saturday and WOW! It is absolutely fantastic! very very very happy with it. biggrin

Thanks to everyone that answered all my questions over the past few months.

Well done.

How do you find it?

Interestingly I've been talking to Porsche about upgrading to a 997 Gen 2 Turbo, was also tempted to live the dream with the F430, so moving away from my current 997 C4S. I'd be interested why you've decided to get back into the Porsche.

Sorry for the delay been far too busy driving it to upload pictures biggrin

the car is Basalt black, with PDK, what an awesome gearbox. I drove a Carrera S with PDK when it first came out with the buttons and I wasn't that impressed to be honest, but I have to say the Paddles transform it.

I should apologise for my Appalling photography skills.

Very nice, My 997 C2S is Basalt Black as well. Great colour when clean and polished, but is a bugger keep that way, worth the hassle tho! The alloys highlighted in black and the wheel centre set really set it off nicely. Sure you will be very happy with it.
