My Porsche Life started in 1974 with a 911E 2.4 Coupe (Roman Purple), followed by a 1975 G series 911 2.7, then a 1976 Carrera 3.0 Coupe, then a 1977 Carrera 3.0 Targa Sportamatic, then a 1976 930 Turbo and in 1980 a 911 SC Targa. There was then a gap of just 39 YEARS....And finally in January this year I acquired a 991 Gen 1 Carrera 4S PDK Coupe in GT Silver. I love it!

Good afternoon, everyone
I'd been debating moving from a Cayman to a 911 for the last couple of months, and finally bit the bullet last weekend. I part exchanged my 987 Cayman 2.9 for 991 Carrera 2.
I've only managed the journey home from the dealership, and a couple of trips to the shop, but I've enjoyed every minute of each of them. This one's a keeper. I'm now thinking about booking the PEC Precision Course to explore the car's capabilities properly.
Many, many thanks to the Dove House Motor Company - Chris, in particular - for making the purchase process so smooth, for prepping the car so well and and for making the handover so enjoyable.

Hi Paul,
Yep, loving it! The Carrera T is actually my 4th Porsche and second 911, but it’s my favourite car, so far!
Highly recommended!
My history is Macan 2.0 in 2016, then a pre-owned 991.1 C2, then a new 2017 Panamera 4 and now the T.
Getting some modifications done (shock, horror!) in July.
Enjoy your return to the 911 family!

911T? That brings back memories, my first ever ride in a 911 was in 1973 in the then 911T 2,4, only 150 BHP, but to me then it felt really fast and I was hooked! I have had my 991.1 C4S for less than 3 months and it has already covered another 3,000 miles - more than its previous owner(s) did in over 2 years. These lovely cars are here to be driven not, just admired. Enjoy your new 911T !

Hi Tony,
I’ve been to Litchfield Motors (near Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire).
Have already had their suspension & handling modifications done. In July, am getting ECU remap, Remus exhaust, new sports CATs and new manifolds. Should give the T 480hp.
Google ‘Litchfield Carrera T‘ for details.

Car is now on shorter and stiffer KW springs. The Carrera T comes with Sport PASM. These mods drop the car by a further 10mm at the rear and 20mm at the front. Now similar to GT3 ride height. The ride is only marginally more harsh, but still just fine for a daily driver. I’ve recently changed tyre pressures to part load/comfort too. Litchfield also changed the bushes. Steering feels great. Google ‘Litchfield Carrera T’ for reviews from motoring journalists who all seem highly impressed with the modifications.

Aye, I’ve got a subscription to Evo and they covered it a month or two back. It’s good to hear none-journo opinion though (massive assumption that’s not your day job [
]). Have you got any side-on photos? Would like to see what the ride height looks like now. The T is the narrow body isn’t it?
looks very cool - have fun!
I am thinking of having a (Official Porsche) Power Kit fitted to my 991.1 Carrera 4S. Does any one have any thoughts as to whether this is a good idea, albeit a bit expensive...? Cheers!
And I like that Agate Grey 991.2 Targa 4S - a great choice - enjoy it and drive it!

That sounds like a great fleet, particularly the Targa 4S - saw a Tesla today - it scared me because it was totally silent - well I know I am deaf (thanks to being a bit too close to an IED in 1972 - otherwise unharmed!)
