Whoops - got a 996

[hoganscrogan]

Keep it quiet (from the TVR boys) - I was only posting the other week about a getting a Griffith and 'doing it up' so it handled better than standard - did shed loads of research - looked at lots..... and then placed a deposit on a '99 996, black/space grey with sports susp. and 18" - get it this friday and can't wait!

The TVR's just didn't feel 'complete' enough (shhhh)

Nice one! Good colour too, would love black myself although remember all those summer bugs on my last one!

[hoganscrogan]

Black is due to the 'Condorman' syndrome I suffer from (I think I have mentioned on here before) !!

erm....yes for the TVR, costs escalated somewhat (porsche finance is a good thing)

[craigw]

nice one, nothing wrong with a good spendup!

[Scottster]

T'is safe money, wouldn't worry about that and depreciation never gonna clobber you too badly - good choice sir!

[hoganscrogan]

Thanks guys! Missus wanted a GT3(!) however I was not willing to sell my soul for the extra £25k

Too late - heard you

[kevinday]

Me too! Right now I would like either a Porsche or a TVR, but the missus says the new roof for the house comes first

[Roadrunner]

Selfish cow!

[craigw]

Get a 996 and ask them to throw in a free Porsche umbrella.

You can't beat a TVR for on road presence, it really was awe inspiring too see and hear, and reminded me why people (me included) want these things

Famous last words - you've been rumbled JUDAS!!!

[Scottster]

We've converted him from the dark side!

[fraser]

Tut tut - another person here who saw your TVR post.No worries though as I am looking at a Turbo 4 but i am going to keep the Cerbera as well.....so Turbo 4 or 355 mmm decisions decisions.....

[domster]

If you can afford to run the Cerby as well, money is obviously not a problem, so get the 355.

Leave the 993TT for us poor sods who *need* a supercar with lower running costs ;-))

[Roadrunner]

here, here.

[hoganscrogan]

Was delivered this lunch time, looks mean in black Am very chuffed with it, certainly has enough road presence for me!!

Thing that swung it was the overall quality and the dealer back up, they will pick it up from house/work with a transporter or drop off a golf gti and drive it to dealers themselves - not offered this by my local TVR place. Warranty is very comprehensive too.

Hired a Cerbera and was impressed/disappointed I'm afraid.

Will post some pics ASAP, also got a track day in a month so there may be some action pics/vids.

Yours faithfully
Judas

hurry up with the pics hogs
