ROFOL - but being a cossie, I simply need to wait 5 min, and then repass whilst it sits on the hard shoulder with smoke billowing out of the bonnet!!!!

I am told that the 420bhp can be reasonably easily improved upon. I just need to ensure that I dont ruin the warranty in the process!

Awesome car mate

I'm finding Porsches really growing on me at the moment. Don't mind admitting I was so wrong about the Boxster. Not the fastest car in the world but soooo much fun to drive

Hi matey,

Sadly it is not an S - the previous owner felt it was better just to put the S on the back, which annoys me a lot! It will be removed!

The diff between the S and the std to be frank is not huge with exception to the PCCB brakes, which I didnt want due to their horrendous replacement costs!

Still love the siggy though

Its called growing up mate

And I REALLY don't mean that in a nasty way!

Borrow my Boxster if you like. Twins cleaned it today. Its gleaming!

My one is FUCKING LOUD and FUCKING SEXY to drive! BETTER than my Turbo!

Slower than an Invalid scooter though!!!

Take the Carbon Discs off... steel ones like mine... and then you still get the HUGE yellow calipers like mine which make me hard

You need to lower it as well..... once you see mine you will see why! Yours look like a tractor in comparison!

You have the exterior colour and interior I wanted you git!.... and you have cruise which I love!! Please tell me they are sports seats and not Boxster ones?

Shame about the bullet holes in your back bumper... was it in a Drive by??

You will love the car! They do rock. Porsches are simply amazing to own. They just WORK and are soooo usable all the time.

P.S Have you DMS'd it yet???

Good choice mate. Shes a beaut.

Bet you mod her... you are a petrol head.... you won't be able to stop yourself!

If nothings broken in 20k miles it won't. The main problem with 996's is the RMS.... and we don't have em. Turbos have dry sumps

Kev, he is pooing his pants about the warrenty....

FANNY!

Don't know what he is worried about! I had mine at least 3 hours and did at least 2 launches and a highspeed run before the 4000mile old uprated GT2 clutch went on me!

Ł1300 in 3 hours DOH!

P.S U.... have I mentioned DMS?? I find another 150lbft of torque at 3000rpm makes them a bit more 'grunty' and its totally needed for those tricky shopping trips if your wife asks
