    I agree re. NGOs being WOFTAM and aid money being wasted/stolen etc. however, my personal view is that the abortion move was made in order to appease Pence and other religious nutjobs rather than to save money.

    Anyway, if you really need an excuse to get peeved at me, guess what? I bought a 911. :p

    997.1 Carrera. Manual with Chrono and factory-optioned Carrera S rims, which is my ideal spec. Have wanted one since late '04, but I was a uni student then. :)

    Now I've got the Elise and a 997, next on the list is a 2.2 or 2.4 911T (or E).

    Thanks, mate! And congrats to you too! ;)


    A GG is on the cards, but not sure when. So glad I passed on the car you're referring to... even though you offered it to me for $50k! :p
    Thanks, Greg! :)
    Dream on, KK.

    Talkin' about Porkers,my next door neighbour just offloaded his 1989 version of this,in BLACK...NOT THIS CAR,to a dealer down south.
    It was traded on a new black V8 Mustang,here.
    He got rid of it for $75K.

    IT HAS A TIPTRONIC PROBLEM...BE AWARE IF YOU OR YOU FRIENDS ARE IN THE MARKET FOR ONE.

    It had personal plates up here so it will have new plates on it or will be sold with new regoplates.

    AGAIN,IT IS NOT THIS CAR BUT A BLACK 1989 ONE...

    Unlikely on mine, hopefully.

    Mine has the bigger factory 'update" bearing which came out in 2005. My Porsche mechanics have never seen one fail in those cars with that bigger bearing, however have repaired in excess of 20 in 996s and a handful of early 997s which share the same "older" bearing.

    Of course, one can be unlucky. 997S's like mine are more prone to bore score. Apparently!

    We also have a 2005 Boxster, no issues to date.

    Best to drive the thing, be aware of the potential problems, be thorough and vigilant on the oil changes and servicing, run a magnetic sump plug............................














    ....... and hope for the best. :)


    Beside it came from Horse, it has to be good. He told me it was when he took my hard earned. :)

    I thought a lot about the ims issue. My car has the ims bearing upgrade (LN Engineering).
