Ourkind Posted 9September, 2016 Report Share Posted 9September, 2016 (edited) G'day all, firstly great forum have been lurking around since I began my research for one of the most important and exciting purchases of my life and now I'm proud to say that today/yesterday 9th I finally bought my dream car and now it's 4am and I haven't slept yet (driving & reading manuals) and I understand what all the fuss was about. Driving a 911 is just mental!!A big big thank you to all the 996 haters out there in the bigwideweb who made this dream possible for me, without them it still would've been out of reach for me.I found myself a great specimen with uber low K's - LN IMS solution installed and with the body and interior clean as a whistle, previous owner really loved this car.It's the 2004 C2 auto in silver ... Now before you have a go at me for buying the auto, I know I know trust me I know but it's our daily driver and I had to come to a compromise with my wife who refuses to drive manual. Condition: We'll get the auto but I get to put racing stripes on it hehe you should've seen those eyes roll haha. Looking forward to interacting with you guys and gals and hopefully joining a convoy of P's in the very near future. Cheers! Carlos.

Niko Posted 9September, 2016 Report Share Posted 9September, 2016 Welcome to the forum and congratulations on the C2. You've done well, looks sensational.Dont worry about the compromise with missus, having an auto Porsche is still miles ahead of not having a Porsche at all.I dare say you have by now jumped out of bed from your sleepless night, gulped down breakfast and are about to take it for a good drive.Enjoy it mate, and don't worry about the 996 putter downers, I agree with you, that's their problem and it's to your benefit.

What a day now it's time for some shut eye and hopefully some Porsche dreaming. Niko, Rod C and Carrera28 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jashunter Posted 6November, 2016 Report Share Posted 6November, 2016 Not my first 911, not my last i'm sure either. 03 996 Targa in Basalt Black. Fabspeed exhaust (like) H&R springs (hmm) Kenwood head unit (loathe) C4S front bumper (growing on me) Otherwise pretty stock. Still ironing out the niggles but thats most of the fun of a new buy!cheersjas YellowDieselGolf, Rod C, LeeM and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stcos85 Posted 30November, 2016 Report Share Posted 30November, 2016 just came across this forum I did jump into another post previously but thought I better introduce myself.Emigrated from the UK over 7 years ago and have been a long time VW fan having had many aircooled kombis and a vw karmann beetle concvertible. Also owned a 1970 orange 911T that I restored before they dramatically escalated in value before moving over.step forward a few years and a friend of mine told me he had a car I might be interested in that was aircooled. he had inherited it in a will and hadn't touched it for 6 years. to my shock it was a 356 and I pestered him for the 6 years before he sold it to me last year. its now undergoing a full resto and is now back the bare metal.Having got the Porsche bug I just bought a 1974 targa fitted with 930 steel flares which I am backdating. I have a few other cars all in various states of resto but not many finished at this stage. In the next year hope to work my way through them Scott930, Niko, WOKA and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stcos85 Posted 2December, 2016 Report Share Posted 2December, 2016 @Anf the 356 has now had all the floors replaced and onto the body work. Found a couple of spots that need attention but now just waiting to get it in to get that sorted.The car is an original aus deliveted car with 2 previous ownersJust a question, do i need to be a financial member to put up a wanted ad as i now have the porsche bug and want to buy a pre 74 911 coupe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look forward to seeing some finished pics Looking at it I think you can post wanted adds without being a FM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
