Perfect car Tomo👍

A lot of love/hype for the 996 lately, and for good reason..............they will entertain your sensations at every level. They look the goods and go like the clappers, you won't ever be disappointed you took the leap. Perfect day for a drive for you I'm thinking, go for it and enjoy!

Some nice Countryside around Portland, when you get that baby off the truck I can see the smile on your face when you open her up for the first time . So I presume you purchased site unseen, just pics and a report? Have you driven a 996 before, any test drives in Vic prior to locking this one in?

Nice new wheels, plenty of enjoyable years ahead in that car. A 996 and early A/C is a good combination

When I was researching my last purchase I remember reading in Wikipedia that this happened with a 996: Police car In 2007, a motorist's 2001 Porsche 911 was searched during a traffic stop by Hoover, Alabama police. The police department seized the vehicle after they found 10 kilograms of cocaine hidden inside two compartments. Since then the vehicle was redecorated in two-tone police blue with a wing, light bar, and rear window lights.[30] The vehicle was unveiled in 2009 as a Hoover Police Department police car and has appeared at various public events.[31] https://www.hooverpd.com/files/Porsche info website.pdf https://www.autoblog.com/photos/hoover-police-dept-porsche/#slide-1965943

Good on you mate, I half expected you were going to tell us it failed when the inspector drove it back in and nearly stalled it, must be a huge relief and exciting, well done!

Great result, they’re a wonderful car, no doubt you’ll be very happy. Post some pics when you can.

Congrats on your purchase, they truly are a beautiful machine.

I think you will find most PFA members are interested in what you are posting. I've watched several of your original time lapse threads and enjoyed seeing how things come apart and go back together. If I needed an engine rebuild and you were down our way I'd be dropping in for a coffee and a chat, keep up the good work and options for our local Porsche lovers!

Nothing for you to worry about now, looking forward to seeing what you get into next

@Jason E didn't take long for your S2 to come back onto the market https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1989-porsche-944-s2-manual/SSE-AD-6806855/?Cr=1

Great building & car 👍

Looks bloody fantastic!

Nothing wrong with a daily Porsche, just sayin (not that I have one yet ) I've had my 996 for close to five weeks, I've put 1000 k's on her (most of that was the first week) and I'm in covid ground zero lockdown, get out and drive it man!

That Merc is taking up valuable space..............get rid of it and get yourself another Porsche!
