OK - I got sick of waiting for it to be dry and or sunny to get some pics!! At least it is clean.

I do absolutely love the interior of this car - it just works so well (for me!!)

Very nice! Must admit I'm not a fan of the Carrera but the 991 incarnation completely changed my mind smile

I took it back to the OPC to get fixed - they did it under warranty wink

That really is lovely, the interior is especially good.

One of the nicest 991s I`ve seen.

Dark grey is a great colour for a 911, looks awesome!

Looks stunning!! I understand you sold an RS just prior to owning this? I am looking for a GT3 gen2, but think i could be swayed to a 991S. How do the two stack up in the real world? I was thinking of doing the odd track day but nothing to serious.

Yes! Shook hands on it today, thanks for your advice. I got it for within £150 of the deal we discussed though they insist the APR you mentioned isn't even available to their most regular customers. Not really bothered to be honest.

They were negotiating hard and wouldn't budge at one point and I thought the deal would fall through. When I spoke to them today I told them I was going to buy from another OPC (not true) and good luck selling the car to somebody else between now and the end of the year. They decided they did want my business after all.

I'll post some pics once I collect, it has a decent spec with the adaptive seats which were important to me.

Merry Xmas mate.

In which case a good car for you would be a GT3 Gen2 Comfort with adaptive sports seats. It's a good blend/ mix of the new 3.8 and Gen2 dynamics that you can track occasionally, without the hardcore day to day nature of the RS. If it was a daily driver you may prefer the 991S, but if its an occasional drive or weekend/fun car the GT3 all the way. Trouty has done RS hardcore to 991S so he will have a better.

The JZM Carrara White Gen2 one that just sold was really lovely and had all the toys incl. Alcons and Endless pads - just the right set-up if you're not a track warrior. Something like this would be my choice as a well bought 2010 Gen2 GT3 now should be a good bet depreciation wise compared with 991S.

Very jealous! Beautiful car and I just love the 991 to drive. Few more years time for me to upgrade from my 997. Water cooled 911's are the best!
