That car used to belong to a good friend, who had all the modifications done to it. Was incredibly clean last time I saw it and went like a bat out of hell, nice to see its still local.douglasgdmw wrote:My neighbours son's mate is selling a 996 Turbo if anyone is interested

I stopped off to look at this on the way home today. It looks really nice in the showroom and the paint has a nice gloss to it but the front bumper needs painting, theres a small crease in the rear drivers side wing with 2 quite deep scratches and the wheels have been refurbed but not in the original anniversary clour. I didn`t bother looking down the passenger side. The interior looked well cared for though.

Quite often see you going past my office on Scotland Street and the car sounds fantasticTrap 125 wrote:I've got a '96 993 C2 and absolutely love it. After I sold the Exige I got a Cayman S. It was a brilliant car and very capable and quick but it just didn't put a smile on my face in the same way the Exige did. It was just a bit too refined and too easy to drive quickly; it just didn't satisfy in the right ways for me. The 993 puts that smile on my face. It needs to be (for want of a better word) 'properly' driven, there are no electronic aids (save ABS) and the feed back through the wheel and your backside is much more akin to the Exige. The car is quick and now I've updated the suspension the handling is excellent. Ahh, oh yes, the sound! That is one thing thats hard to beat!

Re: Porker lovers
How about a run on 4th,5th 11th or 12th May in the borders area?



I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

Definitely up for this but will have to check the diaryModena Scotland wrote:How about a run on 4th,5th 11th or 12th May in the borders area?

964 is into Motortune next week to get the ride height sorted with associated geo (RS level of course) as the new suspension was set way too low by the Porsche specialist who fitted it

So not sure which vehicle we will take but edging towards the Spyder for a Borders run.

Re: Porker lovers
Great George.
It seems that 12th may work better for some SEers.
May be we could start the run from say about 11am, have a small run, stop for lunch and then continue.
I will work out the route.
If Interested please add your name.

Re: Porker lovers
Does that mean you will have more success pulling a female if you have a Boxster though?
