Re: Very nice 996 Turbo - Pics
Thanks for posting the pictures RC 
The car is now two years old. I bought it when it was 3 months old as I had been looking for a car with X50 and PCCBs on it. I would never have thought of speccing lapsis blue with aerokit, but when I saw it, it was hard not to like it, let alone drool
. The yellow calipers look great with the blue colour. Amongst a sea of mainly basalt black TTs in London it really stands out. I can assure everyone that its been driven too 
(12K on the clock now). The Captain is right, this is a London mews. Until a couple of months ago it was parked on the street, but I have now managed to rent a garage in the mews opposite our home. Soon it will be time to wave goodbye 
as I'm changing to a 997S whilst waiting for the 997TT

Nice choice
Crayphile,
That's a tough one. I held onto the 962 and 911RS/IROC the longest, but didn't get to drive them enough to truly make them my "favourites". A favourite should be the one that you would most like to drive at the drop of a hat, on the whim of the moment. They were both (the 962 moreso) difficult to do anything with in a matter of mere minutes. Too much advanced planning and too restricitve of appropriate venues to enjoy everyday. They were, however, "peak experiences" at the extreme end of the enjoyment curve.
The 996TT's both fit the favourite billing more than the others because they are so good and so practical to enjoy. The 996TT Cab drives as well as the former coupe, but cruises in the summer with the top lowered in a much more sensuous manner.
