yea bit worrying to start with when theres a few puffs of black smoke on start up! They all do that though usually get 19mpg in town and even managed a 30 mpg before but drops a fair bit when your having fun lol!!

Well your more than welcome mate - we meet at the Unicorn in Wilmslow once a month, normally about 30 petrol heads turn up in various machines.

I saw a 996 TT on Saturday. It was in Cobalt Blue, and just looked soo nice.

Good choice.

My dream car is a 911 Turbo. 996 or 997.

Yes.

The one thing I said when I saw the new Turbo was that I didn't like the wheels. They look like a bad aftermarket job.

The front and rear bumpers of the GT3 look better too.

I had to keep some sort of practical element with Joshua (and the wife !).
GT2 was too selfish and too scary....

Aerokit looks great - but the front splitter is infamous for getting kerbed.......

Contacting paintshield to protect the front from chips.

I have run a 996TT now for nearly 3 years (having gone through a Box S, 996 C2, 996 C4S)
Amazing cars sure you will enjoy it. Plus throw a couple of £k at a good tuning company & they can easily extract 550bhp with no stress on the car at all - they are so over engineered.

Running costs can take some getting used to:

Clutch £2,000- 2,500
Major Service £ 1400 (base line cost)
Front discs & pads £1,000

But worth every penny.

Good move - the front end picks up stonechips like you wouldn't believe. My mate has a silver one that doesn't show so much but mine is seal grey and its a real pain.

Don't believe all the macho bravado nonsense from Gastro.....

He's as tight as the bums he services



DJ Vinyl Ritchie................He must have a stomach lined with kevlar to deal with 80 year old women on all fours with their wizards sleeves touching the examination bench as he's wrapping some string around their piles
