After 2 years of trouble free motoring from my RS 4 it's time to move on to pastures new...) Id just like to thank everyone who has helped me in my time here... Cheers Guys...
This is my new ride...997 turbo Gen 1 Manual Sports Chrono Short Shifter...

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...)

So want one in Basalt - meh you're dead to me

I was looking at a Basalt Black one as well... There becoming pretty rare in manual... For the money I had anyway... Loads of Tips and Auto,s but there not my cup of tea...

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.

There's not really that much to move onto after an RS 4... They are an incredible car..

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

You'll never forget your RS4 though

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!)

Stunning motor... makes 2 of us recently jumping from an RS4 into a 911 Turbo

Pair of turncoats! I'm glad your off Rob, BUT only coz it means I can grab your epic zorst off you

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

OP - you're dead to us.

Because 1. I was a fool and 2.we were due a baby (now 2) and I had 40k tied up in it and was doig house up.
I sold it after 3 years for same money.
That was 2 years ago - I wish I still had it. Be worth more now.
