lovely, think the 997 turbo is better looking than the 991.

It was a toss up between this and a GTR... My friend is an Indy Porsche specialist plus I've had a 911 before so it makes perfect sense... Can't wait to get off this rig and go and pick it up...:))

Funny how people in the same car often like the same other cars as well.

I was actually shopping for a 997 Turbo when I ended up buying the B7. Couldn't find the right one and then the Ruble took a dump leading to all semi decent used cars getting snagged and the rest inflated 30 percent. So I went for the other car I wanted - the RS4 - which I intend to keep back in Europe indefinitely when I get a different daily here.

Next year maybe.
B7 RS4 saloon Misano red, comfy seats, JHM tune & JHM full exhaust with cats and resonators - gone.
C5 RS6 Avant Daytona/Cognac - gone.
981 Cayman GTS Gray/Orange.

Great choice, and that one looks lovely. Hope you enjoy it.

You'll never forget your RS4 though :bigwave:

Will it fit a double buggy, two car seats and the weekly Shop?

Kidding, do love them 997s, fair play buddy!

Nice. Contemplated the move myself in a few months. As usual GTR always a thought as well.
Would like to get back into a 911 though, had a GT2 but need at least the option of a short family outing (short and uncomfortable!)

Why would you ever let go of a GT2!?!?

OP - you're dead to us.
