Dave997S Posted 9October, 2019 Report Share Posted 9October, 2019 After an exhaustive search and much help and advice from many here (Chris, Drew, Orchie Hazza, Sal, Lee and others - bloody great stuff lads, what a brilliant community we have), I’ve finally got a new beast. I had looked very closely at some AC cars but this won out. Delivery (it’s getting trucked to me) is early next week 🤞🏻. Now, how do I change my forum name to Dave997S 😂 Rod C, hugh, PIC and 15 others 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations , tell us more about the new ride. After selling the Boxster it was very tough not having a PCar is the garage. Its a MY06 997S with a few options...the red seatbelts should be good for a few extra km/h in top speed and the carbon steering wheel and gear knob make it lighter than a standard S.

The seal grey is a great colour (biased!!) Yeah I know what you mean re the black, I had a black car once, looks good when clean & polished but the maintenance........... Seal Grey just like mine 996. Great colour changes in the light, interestingly I would not have picked it in that photo. The only down side you have those ugly round headlights, but I'm sure you could retro fit some 996 lights.
