New Turbo: took the plunge!

Does look the dog's. I had my 997C2S (First porsche, due next month) specced in Midnight Blue then, for the same reasons of getting dirty and showing scratches, I changed to Meteor.

Now where's that suit?

Of course there are suits & there are classy suits & Meteor & Atlas are both class dark colours for the new TT[:D]
 
having had 3 silver cars including my 996,i got bored and despite the dirt,scrtaches etc i specced atlas grey for the cs.it does need cleaning more often etc etc but it looks brilliant when shiny[:D]
i think i may choose meteor for the TT though,best of both worlds richer than silver butnot so much hassle to keep looking good
 
I took the gamble on Meteor as it was a new colour at the time(I hadn't even seen it properly!!), on collection the guy in Germany said one of the first of many..[:)] and his current favorite. True it could of been pleasantries..
However so far I'm chuffed to bits with the Meteor, a fine balance between light and dark.

and goes well with my suit [;)]

I've had a word with M&S and apparently, due to the quantity involved........... we could be in line for a large discount!

Je ne comprends pas [8|]
 
Thats how I read it...[:)]

Clive, new avantar, so the 2008 ???? is answered...
You do realise that you can still come out with us and attempt to follow the convoy [;)]:ROFLMAO:
Some upgrade to have to do that though...[8D]

Well if you can't win fairly -cheat! :ROFLMAO:
Looking at it in Frankfurt next month, but it may be a bit too radical for my old bones - still the photo's nice!!![;)]

Clive
 
It does look rather nice, but at nearly £140k with options...ouch!

Will be cheaper and more practical than the F430 Scuderia I would think - but we'll see next monthas they'll both be at Frankfurt! [:)]

Agreed, but much as I'm a Porschofile, I have to say 430 residuals have been amazing, so that negates any extra on the purchase price! Your problem will be getting one unless you have already purchased several new F cars!
The same with the GT2, very limited supply this time around, should help residuals a bit, but look at the current cars, they hemorrhaged cash. The new 997 GT2 is a fabulous car but the small matter of nearly 40k more than a Turbo whilst a GT3 is only £14k more than an S!
Of course when you view the trailer, you have to conclude its only money[;)]!!!

 
I did a little 'homage' to all the guys with beautiful white Turbos by putting together a little video/slide-show of a few prime examples.

PS: This is my first ever video so next one (I am thinking Cobalt) will hopefully be a little better.

PPS: Google video really shrinks the footage so the quality is not that great. It looks better with a small browser window size.
 
Alex,
Congrats. I think that's a pretty good attempt for your first video! Wish I was such a good tecky! [&:]
I particularly liked a couple of the earlier shots of a car with the 10 spoke wheels. Any idea what those are? [8|]
Regards,
Clive
 
Thanks Clive.

Yes, they are GT3 wheels. A lot of guys have been putting those on their Turbos. It really changes the look of the car.

I had the GT3 wheels on my last car, did make it stand out from the crowd.. up until trade in time [:'(]

I guess you took a hit eh? Was the reason specifically the non-standard wheels do you think?
Regards,
Clive
 
No Clive, the main problem was that I had used the car.. Damn [:eek:] !!

Nothing extra for the wheels, but as with all options it helps move the car on quicker, which it did for the dealer as it never even made it onto the forecourt !!

They were easy to clean and did make it look different from other Turbos on the market.
Ordered with the car from new, so ask your dealer about them [;)]

I quite like the new ones, also felt I'd done that and onto something new.

Never saw them as an option for the 997 (nor for the 996) but the dealer was useless this time.
