Some pictures as promised

Hello Everyone!

Some of you will recollect that I have promised some pictures some time ago (http://www.rennteam.com/forum/page1.html?vs=3), so here they are (courtesy to my father).

It have been busy times (work, marriage preparations, driving around in the Porsche, moving into new apartment, ...), so I consider to have some decent apologies Smiley

The Porsche is doing well. I have done some 7000 km including twisties, driving in the rain, some Autobahn-storming (Autobahn is preferred since an encounter with Belgian police Smiley ) and some fun with other cars (after this weekend I can confirm that Mercedes' time for the C63 AMG is correct Smiley ). Accordingly, the battery failure is long forgotten.

It really feels like a dream come true, day and day out. PSE would not be a bad thing (Porsche is relatively silent compared to the AMG).

Best regards Smiley

Nice clean machine! The basic 911 is still a showcase of elegant design... How much I love the turbo, GT2 and GT3, the clean design without all the vents and wings and other flappy attachments is just timeless.

Thanks for posting the pics, and enjoy!

Thanks for sharing. Congrats to your car!

Although it had been said so many times here, it cannot be emphasized enough... 997 design is a classic one and one of most beautiful 911 interpretations!!!!

Love the black clocks. Wish I'd got black when I spec'd mine. It was a no cost option too :)

Re: Some pictures as promised

Thank you for the very nice reactions!

@ bluelines: car is indeed seal grey

@ John H: PSE retrofit wil have to wait a bit I fear; I already negotiated well with my wife in order to be able to buy the car and thus no negotiating margin left for PSE

A few points on the car...

As Beltar once said (I think it was Beltar) on the 911: it is a very nice car to drive, but some things you cannot feel or appreciate during a 2 hour test drive, it are things you can only feel and appreciate it if you drive it regularly (or something along those lines).

He is absolutely right, the finer things, the weight shifting, the brakes, the gears, the way it all works together, really takes some time to get well "valued" so I am looking forward to more kilometers and growing appreciation for the car.

Another point is that the car is currently at the dealership for (i) handbrake and (ii) GPS update

Handbrake sometimes went all the way up without resistance, without braking and with a loud uncomfortable noise. Apparently, this is known and something was replaced under warranty.

GPS: this seems to be a slightly bigger issue. Sometimes (especially after some time driving / 2 hours or more), the PCM informed me it couldn't read the DVD. Admitted, the DVD is the September 2004 version and has some scratches on it, so the dealer and I came to the same conclusion: bad DVD that gets hot because of difficult reading and fails. I ordered myself the new 2010 DVD and the dealership would install it (all for a bit under EUR 400 / standard price on Porsche.de website).

Apparently, the install went well and it worked, but when they tested it again, nothing from navigation was working. They are trying to sort out what the bug is and they have ordered some CD to reset everything. They confirmed me that all this is warranty as well so no worries: they either fix it via software or they replace the PCM (maybe I will have MP3 capability then ). Time will tell....

Still happy with the service rendered by the PZ

Best regards!
