tdc911 Posted 18November, 2012 Report Share Posted 18November, 2012 Very very lucky to have been a passenger in this this morning. How do you explain it???? AWSOME is probably the only word that comes close. Did not break any speed limits, didn't have to, the car does not have to prove a thing. What a great feeling to know that you are in a car that has very few cars in the same class. This thing is a predator, "the great white of the roads". The noise...not deafening or irritating, ....."Rolling Thunder" is apt. While sitting on the limit on the freeway we were passed by a couple of other P cars...cars that I used to admire fully...Now I think...I still admire them but they are no comparison to this beast. The smile stayed on the dial for the entire drive, then back into the CX7 to head to the airport to pick up my wife, and I noticed I was still smiling.....hope no one was looking at me. Such a special car, my Thanks to David for letting me share in this experience, truly the best car I have ever had the pleasure to be in. Thanks to Chris for inviting me along. I am still smiling as I write this 7 hours later..... sorry photo quality crap, from my crap phone. Very cool. Hope to have a refresher experience with the car sometime, been a long time since I have seen the car. FYI a 993 GT2 sold at auction in London last month: http://www.rmauction...=3&Collection=# Very valuable cars, sold for more than a 959 with only 651 kms on the clock.

Kerry Posted 18November, 2012 Report Share Posted 18November, 2012 You, my friends, were in the presence of Royalty - that's the same glint that Niko had when he met the Queen! The best 911 I've ever driven. Cheers D. Kerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveF Posted 18November, 2012 Report Share Posted 18November, 2012 Wow, what a beast (the car not you Niko!) Sounds like a fantastic experience. Your smile says it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my very limited knowledge on P cars, the one I was in yesterday is identical to the auctioned car, excepting the colour and actually has less K's on the clock. 20 hours later and the smile is still reappearing. (Quick calculation = about 17 Boxsters of my vintage, give or take 1 or 2.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-p Posted 18November, 2012 Report Share Posted 18November, 2012 The other thing to consider is that the one that sold at auction was LHD. David's is the only one officially delivered as an Australian delivered car. So that would add a bit to its value also I would think.

Niko Posted 18November, 2012 Report Share Posted 18November, 2012 Thanks Chris, good point. Better make a new quick calculation 1 x GT2 = 20 x 2001 Boxster S's give or take. That has just about wiped the smile off my face. (Just about) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Man Posted 18November, 2012 Report Share Posted 18November, 2012 Very envious indeed Niko. That is like the pinnacle of 993s!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 18November, 2012 Report Share Posted 18November, 2012 Very envious indeed Niko. That is like the pinnacle of 993s!!! yes T man, I have been completely spoilt now. I have sampled the best. The worst part is I have also just worked out where my Boxster stands in the pecking order.....and it aint pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 19November, 2012 Report Share Posted 19November, 2012 yes T man, I have been completely spoilt now. I have sampled the best. The worst part is I have also just worked out where my Boxster stands in the pecking order.....and it aint pretty. Niko, at least you can drive it and push it - if I had a car like that I would be locked away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Boxster shares the same genetic DNA mate.And let's face it. He can't even put the top down!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerry Posted 6December, 2012 Report Share Posted 6December, 2012 Does anyone know this car? Is it an actual Yellowbird CTR?!?!? In pink?!?!?! Never the less, AN ACTUAL YELLOWBIRD in our midst?!?! Kerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.J. Posted 6December, 2012 Report Share Posted 6December, 2012 it can't be a Yellowbird, it has turbo guards on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 7December, 2012 Report Share Posted 7December, 2012 I just noticed it as I was leaving the 356 display. I have just zoomed in and definitely has the RUF on the back on what I would say is CTR on the bottom right of the engine lid. I have just wikapediaed (is that a word) the YELLOWBIRD as it is new to me. All I can say is CHEESUS Bugga, I should have gotten more shots and had a talk I do have the unaltered photo showing Historic plates and the face of the chap squatting next to it if you need to see more in a PM or email Also found this: I know it's not the right post for it but if we are talking YELLOWBIRDS.... Got me thinking actually.... I wonder if my 85 BLUEBIRD is part of that family???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
