Congratulations and I hope it is as water tight as your last Porsche ...enjoy [ORIGINAL: flat6 Hello all, just introducing myself as a new 997.1 turbo owner. Very pleased with this 11,000 mile 2006 manual turbo I picked up yesterday in Bonnie Scotland. I lost my composure and didn't take any really good pics on collection; just wanted to get the paperwork done and get in it to drive it![]
The 230 mile drive home was effortless in any gear, but the drive was relaxed and composed too (will explore the car a bit more on more familiar roads). Even the torrential rain that lashed us as we stopped in the village of Biggar for their traditional fish, chips and brown sauce, could not dampen our spirit [![]()

Wanted to go a bit old school for my first 911, but not too old school and this fits the bill perfectly. After the first drive i'm even more sure it was the right choice. I was planning to change the wheels to Sport Classic but i'm not so sure now as the turbo wheels do look much better than expected in the metal and are a signature of the gen 1 car.![]()

Looks really great - your not kidding you lost your composure - you left it all alone in the middle of the street![ORIGINAL: flat6 Hello all, just introducing myself as a new 997.1 turbo owner.

Looks like you succumbed to the temptationORIGINAL: flat6 ....It's hard to clear your head and measure other cars on what they are supposed to be, but also, thinking about the next car after the Spyder it depends if you want more of the same type of experience. If I wanted to stick with something uncompromisingly 'sharp', I'm tempted by the 4C. If I want effortless power and torque and the increased usability of 4 seats, i'm tempted by the 911 turbo....
As it only (normally) gets scraped on the underside it doesn't show unless you crawl around on your hands and knees! You could, alternatively, buy a second splitter and get it painted and then swap them back and forth depending on where you are going! Easy to do yourself. Definitely worth doing though.... http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=827433ORIGINAL: flat6 I was wondering if I had it painted whether the wear would look even more dramatic on red paint? I would look good though given that this car already has the side skirts.
