I haven't posted for a while....thought I'd post up my 996 C4S manual. It's in quite a rare polar Silver with a pretty high spec. It's just turned 59k with full Porsche history......hope you like!. 
That’s lovely and a guaranteed future classic.What’s it like to drive and live with?
I have only owned it since August, but love it. It's well up together but booked into Steve Bull Specialist cars for a drive belt change and new coil packs. I had it serviced at Porsche Centre Bristol in Aug and with their fixed price servicing for earlier models it was only £450 for a major with Brake fluid which I thought was good value.
I was in 2 minds whether to go 996 or 997 but after driving one of these just fell in love.....I've had loads of various cars over the years including a show winning RB5 but this just feels quite special. Although it was sold as the everyday 911 I wouldn't want to use it everyday myself, but it has loads of character and gets a lot of attention from people of all ages.
I bought it as a second car/weekend toy......when I was car hunting the criteria had to be something impractical that gave me that buzz whether driving fast or slowly around town and this does exactly that!

I was originally looking for a Seal Grey one, but this really caught my eye and I think it's one of the nicer 996 colours....plus it's pretty rare - at the last PCGB meeting at Goodwood there were approx. 15 996 C4S's and mine was the only Polar Silver. I trawled the country and looked at 6 others before pulling the trigger on this one.its pretty mint compared to the others I viewed previously.
It has factory switchable PSE, BOSE, optional Porsche Crested memory seats, Litronic (Xenon) headlights, interior carbon pack, factory silver dials, rear park assist. PSE sounds unreal!👌🏻
