    The wait is over - new 997S (lots of pics)

    After what seemed a long wait (ok not as long as most peoples at only 3 months) I picked up my new 997S today. So thought I'd post you all a few pics. No sooner had I driven off than it started to rain and continued to do so for the first hour and completly soaked the car. So much for the showroom finish! The weather then picked up so we went for a blast in the countryside just outside my home city of Leeds (northern UK).

    Showroom collection :









    Various countryside shots :










    Stopped at the waterside and picked up a very tame admirer! I though he was going to peck me through the window when we first stopped!





    Finally ended the day with an impromptu visit to the world famous (so they claim ) Harry Ramsden's for Fish 'n Chips.



    A most enjoyable afternoon out - drove my first 100 miles and was never more than 25 mins away from the heart of Leeds! There are some very nice roads country roads that I know very well and I can tell you it was very difficult to keep the revs below the running in limit.

    The car is awesome, everything I had hoped for and more, the PSE is a must have and BOSE only got a look in for the last half hour of the day. I pulled over after the first 10 miles and applied the "always on mod" to the PSE - I think it will stay this way for some time! I swear the PSE was louder at the end of the day than the beginning - I cant wait to get a few thousand on the clock!

    Yours, One happy camper!

    Adam, car looks great. I particularly like color. The darkgray/black has always been a favorite of mine. I also like the mesh on the rear engine lid. Nice contrast. LOL.

    Nice combo of options, but looking at the wheel arches needs lowering for the full effect!

    Anybody else noticed that the shape of the swan is the same as a 911 (minus the head of course).

    Somebody in design has been cheating all these years!



    Re: The wait is over - new 997S (lots of pics)

    What's interesting is the Turbo wheels look better on the 997 than on the Turbo (IMO of course).

    They seem to have less to compete with because, except for the wing, the car's overall shape and lines are cleaner/simpler.

    Re: The wait is over - new 997S (lots of pics)

    Beautiful car, congrat

    Re: The wait is over - new 997S (lots of pics)

    A beautiful car in a wonderful setting! May you have many years of trouble-free driving!

    Re: The wait is over - new 997S (lots of pics)

    Congrats! Great pics of your beautiful "baby."

    The fun is only beginning!

    Re: The wait is over - new 997S (lots of pics)

    Cheers guys, thanks again for all the kind comments.

    Re the PSE - Just how loud does this thing go!!!! I swear it gets twice as loud every day. Got just under 300miles on the clock now and the difference is dramatic from last Friday when I picked the car up.

    Re: The wait is over - new 997S (lots of pics)

    Also from belgium a great "congratulation" , the car looks very nice.;;
    When you ever cross the channel, give a buzz..

    Re: The wait is over - new 997S (lots of pics)

    Thanks for sharing. Looks incredible..
