Beckhams new 997 Turbo Cab

What options do you think cost the price of the car again?

Nice plastic rearview mirrors & sunvisors, he should have visited REENTEAM before spec.'ing out.

Check this out, the article says:

Posh, 33, has returned to LA after her fleeting visit to London this week, and was welcomed home by her husband in a brand spanking new family motor.

The sleek black machine cost a staggering Pounds100,000, which is pennies to the Beckhams, and David had it completely modified - costing another whopping Pounds100,000."

I wonder what he did to his 997TT that'd have cost Pounds100,000!

Looks like Beckham's Turbo might actually be one of those abominations from Wicked!

Re: Beckhams new 997 Turbo Cab

Things I can spot:

Light blue painted calipers

Techart bodykit

Re-upholstered interior

Black headlights

New wheels but I have no idea from where

And are those customized wing-mirrors?

Not my cup of tea

It's not the Aerokit but the TechArt kit. Not feeling the rims tho.

Re: Beckhams new 997 Turbo Cab

Light blue painted calipers? Where? That grey/blue piece you seem to be seeing is NOT the calipers. The calipers on the TT is mounted behind not in front of the rotors. I'm not sure what that grey item we're seeing is. Perhaps the rotor hats?

He also had the GT3/Aero kit front vent installed onto the stock bumper too.

Given the size of the contract he signed in the MLS and endorsements, she is worth way more to him than a 100K... living in California now and the magic 10 years of marriage looming she will cost him even more soon...

Tinting headlights "brilliantly" says "safety sucks."

Speaking of mods, she needs a little work on her nose, doncha think?

Hahah.. I doubt he ordered his P-car. I imagine he walked into a dealer and said "I want to buy a Porsche." The dealer at that point probably sold him the most expensive one he had on his lot. :-)

Though Jean Todt would win anyways: being in charge of Ferrari and ending up with the cars he has is too much of an achievement!

Beckham's P-car is not that bad for a soccer player

He installed a complete back-up set of Posh's plastic bits.

I'd wager that a Victoria Beckham blow-up doll contains less plastic than the real deal

Re: Beckhams new 997 Turbo Cab

Seems to fit perfectly to LA, doesn't it?

Afterall, this is not his first Porsche, he started off with a 993 a decade ago. Had a couple different models since then...

Re: Beckhams new 997 Turbo Cab

I'm a sort of closet Becks fan I guess (not *that* sort of closet!), but I really don't like his car. I agree the headlamps are gross, and the interior sucks with all that plasticky stuff. The bodykit and the wheels make it look like a (very) expensive kit car.

What a shame he had to ruin such a beautiful machine.

It just goes to show that with money (like anything else) there is a taste curve:
too much, and you fall off a cliff.

I feel sorry for Victoria actually. I don't think she behaves like she loves herself - more like she hates herself. I think that women like Catherine Deneuve etc who do their own thing and don't give a f**k what anyone else thinks are better role models IMHO. She does ask for it a bit with all the press bollocks - perhaps she is trying to match hubby's success when she should instead ignore all that sh*t.

Sorry if a bit OT...

Re: Beckhams new 997 Turbo Cab

If you know this couple moved to the usa, just to become popular over there, i think it's a sad thing.. Knowing they are role models for lots of children and other people!

btw, how is David's new team doing?

Re: Beckhams new 997 Turbo Cab

Not good. They didn't make it into the "play-offs" which is some kind of finals for the US championship from what I can gather. Last time I heard he came back to the UK for a bit longer than planned to train (maybe with the England team?) as a result.

He's on the glide path to retirement so I guess none of this is surprising... I also think they just have too much money. It can't be good with all that dosh swilling around - they need to start a foundation or something - or donate some to Bill and Melinda Gates' programme.

I better not get you going w/ reasons why his tail would be up while parked then.... Or is that a TechArt spoiler? Doesn't look it.
