Hi folks
Been a couple of years since I parted with my 993 tiptronic and find myself thinking about a 991. Been to view a couple of cars over last month or so at local OPC (Leeds) and very impressed. In fact through my indecisive behaviour I missed out on a white C2 manual that I was keen on !
Enjoyed the manual box , but understand they have mixed reviews. Only criticism was the clutch pedal had a slightly unusual feel in the the last inch or so upon release feels quite "loaded". The car was on 53k and ex demo. Tried another car in the showroom and that seemed a bit lighter and more uniform feel.
There's another C2 manual in at Leeds in Basalt Black with sensible mileage although a little over budget, I'd set myself a ceiling of 50k with a deposit of about 18k and rest on PCP. Perhaps some end of month negotiations could be had.........

Just rejoined the club, enjoyed the runs and events with my 993 (996 before that) and I can feel the draw to get myself kitted out with a 991. Would be a second car but one which I won't be frightened to use for daily duties etc in addition to the fun element.
Any words of wisdom and tips in relation to the 991 would be gratefully received!
Hope you are all having a great Christmas and best wishes for 2017!
Cheers.
Dave.
