My first Porsche.

Firstly, thanks to all for the tips over the last 2 years. Circumstances have meant that I have just bought an 05 997S I've been out in it so much , I didn't realise I've had it for 8 weeks now and not written here about it!

1. Spec: Manual, Arctic Silver,Blk lthr,Sports alloys,Bose,Heated seats,Rear wiper,Sports Chrono,White dials,Multi fnctn steering wheel.
2. It has overnight matured me as a road-user. A car likes this brings with it responsibility.
3. The engine sound, oh my gosh, the engine sound. The Bose is collecting dust.
4. It is as sweet getting to and cruising at 40mph as any speed 70+.

Enjoy

I've also just joined the 911 crowd from the Boxster S crowd. There is something about that noise.

People walking past do tend to slow down and look / listen.

I'm like a proud parent.

I gotts tell ya, I'm ugly as sin, and babes always cast a glance (at the motor) as they pass. ho -hum, i'll just have to put up with it. Didn't realise that such a superficial little thing would give me a teeny buzz, but hey I'm just being honest.
