D-banger Posted 19December, 2011 Author Report Share Posted 19December, 2011 Can't beat the purity of the originals. Great garage. That's an intersting car that appears just above the duck tail. Air inlets in the rear guards and mirrors I have not seen before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kglass Posted 19December, 2011 Report Share Posted 19December, 2011 Great garage. That's an intersting car that appears just above the duck tail. Air inlets in the rear guards and mirrors I have not seen before. The side air inlet looks to be of a 993 turbo s, unusual mirrors though which i dont believe were factory for that model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdc911 Posted 21December, 2011 Report Share Posted 21December, 2011 The side air inlet looks to be of a 993 turbo s, unusual mirrors though which i dont believe were factory for that model Almost certain that it is a 959. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-p Posted 21December, 2011 Report Share Posted 21December, 2011 Yep I agree with Tristan. Based on the wiper placement it isnt a 993 so that would probably make it a 959 and I think I can just see the rear spoiler. C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-banger Posted 21December, 2011 Author Report Share Posted 21December, 2011 I agree with Chris on the wipers placement. I can also just make out the widened sills and I can't make out any fuel cap in the left wing. I think the mirrors match this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kglass Posted 22December, 2011 Report Share Posted 22December, 2011 This is true, the sills are a clear giveaway of it being a 959 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-banger Posted 21February, 2012 Author Report Share Posted 21February, 2012 Spotted this on the recent trip. Is it the real deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airhead Posted 22February, 2012 Report Share Posted 22February, 2012 Sorry for delay. Forgot to watch this thread. Here’s a pic of the car in the background from the 2.7 Carrera pic I loaded in Dec. No prizes for the winners – but it is a genuine 959. Any guess as to who owns the garage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airhead Posted 27February, 2012 Report Share Posted 27February, 2012 This thing was sitting outside ticking quietly after a quick blast on the auto bahn. Great to have a test track supplied by the Govt right on their doorstep eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P T Posted 29February, 2012 Report Share Posted 29February, 2012 @ Douglas : Did you take this pic ? Funny to see a Belgian registered car on an Aussie forum. I assume this pic was taken in France ?? I'm pretty sure this is not the real deal ! According to the plate, this car is recently registered for the road as an oldtimer, (oldtimer plates always start with 1-O.....) If this was the real deal,...I would never leave it in a street like this. As far as I can remember, there are only 5 real 2.7 Rs's left in Belgium. Very nice car, very well build and I like the retro colour !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it is not the real deal I would not leave the car out overnight in the rain. The Feb cold snap had not hit by then so no snow at that point.

Doish13 Posted 11May, 2012 Report Share Posted 11May, 2012 Looks fantastic, fabolous photo. 2 quick questions, how far has this been lowered (2inches?) and re the front plate how is this mounted. Mine is mounted to the bottom half of my front bumper, just under e rubber. Want to move it desperately however then left with 2 big ugly holes. How also is it mounted ie to a bracket or directly on the front apron? Hope you can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-banger Posted 14May, 2012 Author Report Share Posted 14May, 2012 3.2 looks great JJ Note to self: get 3.2 lowered about 1" at next service, and be very careful when approaching driveways and speed humps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJames Posted 17May, 2012 Report Share Posted 17May, 2012 patina (noun) \pə-ˈtē-nə, ˈpa-tə-nə\ a surface appearance of something grown beautiful especially with age or use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry Posted 17May, 2012 Report Share Posted 17May, 2012 LOL! Now this is an interesting tangent to take in the Gratuitous Porsche Pics post! I like it, cos, you guessed it - I've got some pə-ˈtē-nə goin' on myself! Next time I'm out for a spin, I'll get some snaps of said patina, and you can witness the evidence of a truly enjoyed and enduring piece of beautiful german surface appearance! LOL!

JustJames Posted 17May, 2012 Report Share Posted 17May, 2012 I've always had a soft spot for cars that are mechanically sound, but wear their history with pride. "New car smell" is supposed to be special; for as long as I can recall, I've liked that special old leather and vinyl plus hydrocarbons smell of old cars. So when I saw this car when I parked this morning, it looked good in the morning light, and I wanted to post a pic of it. (This is a cross-post from the Autohaus Hamilton Facebook page.) It took me most of the day to come up with a caption that - I think and hope - makes it clear that the photograph was taken from respect and admiration. Cars that look as-new have their place, but so do cars that own up to their age. This example has around 285,000km on the clock. Testimony to how well screwed together these cars are.
