    Porsche less !

     

     Well after 20 months of ownership the Gen2 Carrera S was sold on Friday.

    I decided to get rid of it before the GT3 arrives in June, as  if i kept hold of it the Warranty would have expired and it would have needed its first 2 year service. It is hard not having a Porsche and going back to driving my Mondeo all the time.

    I enjoyed the Gen2 car an clocked up about 10.5k in it. During that time the only problem i had with the car was that it needed two water pumps, as they began to squeak. This seems to be an acknowledged problem with the Gen2 cars.

    Still in the 3-4 months i have until the new car arrives i am planning on giving the garage a makeover !

    Thought i would attach one of my favorite photos of the car, just after Paul Dalton gave it a detailing:-

    Wow, its looking like brandnew from the dealer.
    Is that "flatblack" oder "basaltblack"?

    Currently I have to make a choice between the black "colors".Smiley
    Thanks in advance..

    indeed shifting is ancient technology - so is a fuel burning engine..  I happen to like both :)

    It's the Gen 2 Porsche Sports Exhaust.


    Re: Porsche less !

    Great car, but the GT3 will be a beast when it arrives. My 997.1 is flat black and even though the car is 5 years old it looks fantastic even though I use it as a daily driver .

    Am I the only one who thinks the spoiler-UP just looks hideous?? It really destroys the lines of a beatiful car and that accordion-look in rubber is something that I really hope Porsche will get rid of in the 991. I've actually never understood why people during city-driving deploy the spoiler since it really make the car looks ugly from all angles exept from the front....  Just my very personal opinion though

     Yep i never drove it with the spoiler set manually up. It was like this in the photos as when Paul took the shots he had just finished cleaning that area. I agree the photos would have been better with the spoiler down.
