    Owned a 911 now for a month, 1800 miles...what now?

    I have a terrible urge to get something for it's 1 month birthday. She's been professionally detailed, cleaned every other day by myself but I can't help feeling somethings missing. Not entirely sure what but there is definately something I need to buy I'm sure.

    I'm thinking about a Jammer and have narrowed it down to the Laser Pro Park but I'm not keen on fitting it myself or getting some joker who pretends he knows what he's doing. I really want a descrete installation and one which doesn't drill holes or damage any panels etc.

    Anything else?

    Take it to the track Jack...

    You've essentially run it in, so now it's time to give it a bit of a Basil Faulty thrashing. Take it to Brands or Bruntingthorpe, or Cadwell or Oulton Park and take it to the red line, make the brakes stink, push the oil temp north of 250, and put some serious wear into the tyres. You'll feel SO much better once you've done that and got some gravel rash on the bonnet.

    Go shop for key rings, 1/18th scale models, browse Porsche selection for "must-have" merch.

    Maybe get some SS sill guards.

    You got all your deluxe cleaning, waxing and detailing supplies equipment and tools?

    How about a set of matching terry towels for the car? I keep a few black ones in cabin for various wiping needs. Don't forget microfiber assortments!!

    ResB,

    Glad it's going well. What about a driver training course, so she feels a bit pampered even when you're treating her mean.

    I fancy Oulton Park. We should organise a forum track day you know. Not sure about the gravel rash though.

    Nope. Got that one. I have to say this is a must have option. Please, anyone debating it, don't just get it.

    I did have a 1/18th model but the little lad has taken a shine to it. Might get myself a Porsche Cap (or is this too chavish?)

    SS Sill guards is a good idea, or maybe some Guards Red seat belts. Wish I'd got these in the first place.

    I've just spent over Pounds200 on detailing stuff so I'm good to go, but I do need one of those Maguires wash mits. They are pretty good. YOu obviously know the scrore cos I have 2 Matching Towels on the back seats.

    Mmmmm, Roadcoarse. Had some fun showing a friend how the car went on the twisties last night but I didn't know the roads. He basically said "I'm not sure I want to go that quick"

    I can't get enough of it. My wife thinks I'm having an affair cos I keep going for a drive on an evening when the litlun's in bed. Little does she know I am, and of course it's with a little minx called a 911.

    I need to see when my training day is that was supposed to come from Porsche. Need to get onto the dealer as I quite fancy this.

    This is what it's all about.

    How about treating yourself to a nice spare tire and jack? Will be one of those "gifts which keep on giving."
