Does a quartet of colourful 993s appeal? step inside...
Discussion
...though if you're a stickler for factory standard cars , you may wish to step back out!
One fine day in August, we decided to get 4 solid coloured 993s together for a bit of fun, photos, and a drive . Why? There's not so many brightly coloured 993's so it felt like great way to celebrate these fantastic cars, each one modified to meet their owner's vision . It was a long time in the making having bumped into each other at various events in the past, though not as a complete group. So, with a date finally set, location agreed - Caffeine & Machine - the excitement began to build .
What a day it turned out to be, all fantastic cars in their own right, together with a great group a passionate owners who aren't afraid to drive and enjoy their cars regularly . Thanks must go to 9WERKS & TOTAL911 for making the day come to fruition!
Oh, and despite our uncharacteristically searing heatwave this summer, the weather gods decided to arrange a downpour for us
after weeks of drought! In true UK fashion, weather didn't stop play....
I'll be posting a bit more on my IG account @ch3tman, but sharing a few highlights from the day below for PH viewing:

Total 911 Issue #223, October 2022, is out now for anyone that wants a more detailed view on each car's spec and how they drove. No affiliation to the publication, etc. , just happy to see our cars in print! .

This doesn't help my want for a 993
Go for it - you won't regret it . I'm 8-9 years into ownership and it's definitely a 'forever car' .guyvert1 said:

Thank you! I shall never part with it .A993LAD said:
Riveria was always my preferred option, until I saw that orange car.
Riviera anything but number 1? Get your flamesuit on ....A993LAD said:
Great pics too well done. Please can you photoshop out the woman/pram/pitbull out of pic 2 though .
Learning such Photoshop skills is on the every growing to-do list! Orangecurry said:
Who owns Jackal's old car nowadays?
It's changed hands at least a couple of times since Jackal moved into F-cars and appeared on Collecting Cars in that time in that time, too. Firstly, owned by PH'er barchetta_boy and currently a nice fellow who enjoys it when not in his M2 Competition or M3 CSL. Edited by ch3tman on Friday 14th October 15:30

I remember bidding on that yellow car on CC a few years ago. Didn’t really want RHD, so was a little too expensive for me. Still want it though - looks so nice, as do the others. Really want a 993
and so many others argh
If you're serious, drop me a note; there is potential...and so many others argh

Would love to get together with you guys for a photo with another colour, or am I out being metallic?
On this occasion, the cars involved were selected by those organising the article, but otherwise, the more the merrier! It's just nice to see another 993 being used - mine is driven all year round...

Should have had a chat with Phil of Caffeine and Machine. He could have joined the party with his Signal ( I think) yellow 993RS ??
Yes, both he and his Father were present on the day with one eye on the activities. His 993 RS is Speed Yellow , like the one in the photos in this thread, and sits alongside his Guards Red 964 RS, and Tangerine 912 .A nice video, on the '9WERKS TV' YouTube channel, to compliment the earlier photos!
