    Pics of PCGB gathering

    Went for a blast through the beautiful English countryside with 7 fellow 997 owners with Porsche Club GB yesterday.

    Amazing weather, amazing roads - doesn't get much better!







    Next day cleaning:

    Car looks hot with upgraded wheels.

    Nope, use to prefer the quads, now STRONGLY prefer the OEM tips.

    To me, the quads just look awkward stuffed into the bumper. The shape of the OEM tips works well with the rest of the bumper

    Re: Pics of PCGB gathering

    Wonderful photos Alex Thanks for sharing Your car looks the business I agree - the OEM tips suit the rear bumper better

    Re: Pics of PCGB gathering

    Thanks

    Everyone gave very good compliments on my wheels and the sound of my CG exhaust.

    Gary was really torn-up about upgrading too ...another Turbo owner I have tempted by the dark-side

    Re: Pics of PCGB gathering

    Hey alex, beautiful pictures! Your turbo really stands out. I saw there was a 930 as well, doe you happen to have pics of your car alongside with that oldie as well? I really love those "family resemblance" pictures

    Afraid not Joost

    Re: Pics of PCGB gathering

    Alex, My wife has reconsidered how she feels about you now!!
    The fact that you've so tempted me with that CG system, it really did sound excellent, exactly what I was looking for - this will obviously mean she doesn't get the new kitchen though!!!

    Great to have yourself and N along for day, your car does look stunning in the rear view mirror..

    Re: Pics of PCGB gathering

    The 930 was a passing owner for another event on at Gaydon, popped over to say hello ..

    The lady in the AM asked to park it there with us, saying we were less likely to open our doors into her car...
    Not sure what she would of thought when we all drove off a short while later...

    Thanks Gary

    Hey, in your wife's favour the CG exhaust does 'drone' a little between 2000-3000 rpm on a motorway. Apparently that goes away after a few thousand miles though. Will know for sure by the time we reach Interlarken

    I am thinking of doing the Porsche Experience 'Performance' day though before we go to Switzerland. I am SO far behind my car's capabilities that I think I now need to improve my skills considerably to do the car justice

    I was thinking: 'paparazzi' - quick get that sheep out of the way!!

    Re: Pics of PCGB gathering


    as I destroyed the link..

    Alex, you can't go wrong with the performance training.. I became aware that the car was way better than what I am a long time ago....
    Hopefully you like some of the others realised that there are still plenty of roads left for us to enjoy our Porsche

    Re: Pics of PCGB gathering

    Too bad of the 930...
    Thanks for the pics, the one with the sheep is awesome as well! You guys going to Interlaken? You'll sure have a great time over there, been there a coupe of times. Be sure to pay a visit to the restaurant on top of the "scyscraper" hotel, it gives you some magnificent views.

    +1 I'm with you! Quads are so retro.

    Just do a search for P40 on the Turbo board and you will find lots and lots of threads discussing this

    All pro's, no con's.

    Got them from South West Tires who are the UK HRE distributor.
