At last Phib buys a 993 Overwhelmed !!!!

[phib]

Well at long long long last I have done it bought my first Porsche a 97 993 Cab (picked it up yesterday lunch time) and I thought I would just post a few observations, having looked at 996's and 993's for the last couple of months and now having owned a 993 for about 18hrs !!!!!

1. Why didn't I do this years ago ( had 4 TVR's why ?)

2. Comming from a Tvr chimaera 500 the 996 would have been very boring

3. It has a massive sense of ocasion

4. Is it made from granite ?

5. How far are the radio buttons from the drivers seat !!

6. I drive it like a girl, wet leaves, storms, torrential rain I had it all since owning it

7. How weird are the pedals ( I am getting used to it)

8. How do you keep to the speed limits ? On my own personal test track last night sixth gear 2000 revs about 85mph !!!!

9. Gears, how many !! and how come I am allways in the wrong one !!

10.Very glad I got air con (from the steaming up point of view)

11. 993 + legal limit tyres + Newbie + Leaves and rain = Need new tryres very very quickly.

12. I love it !!!

Thats all for now better just go and have another look at it just to make sure its real

I can't wait for a dry road, and am currently thinking up some spurious reason to leave the office by about 3pm providing its still sunny !!

Drop the top and go for blast home.

rear tyres now ordered conti contact n1's to match the front's ( I hope this is the best choice) being fitted on saturday.

Just need a new carrera badge for the back as some one has nicked the old one, the car is met black so what colour bagde shoud it be dlack or chrome ?
