Dreamcar,
Back from bonnie Scotland eh? I'm off to Paris on Thurs to have a good look at the 987, then down to Chapelgate on the 9th with final decision 987S/997S and spec so if you're about that day let me know. I'll bring the Paris pics, oo-er
Didn't get to drive the 997S as it's a tip and wanted to try the manual - I'm sure if you say you're thinking about the sport chrono they'll let you have a quick spin in it to feel the difference - you could really feel it, but then Pounds500 for not having to extend the foot quite so far, hmmmm.
Oh, girlfriend has just volunteered to drive that day so I can have more than one pint - one advantage of not being able to pry her out of the new mini cab - Scotthalls came through OK in the end.
