Re: 996 Turbos

Lots of options with 996's, very different cars with different characters. I've got 996.1 C2 + 996.2 GT3 and I've driven C4S's and Turbos. My personal choice is narrow body + rear drive. The bigger body cars have more heft to them, which many like. People argue about 2wd vs 4wd, depends on preferenc...

Re: 996 Turbos

It has the Mezger engine so no worries about the typical M96/7 engine issues like IMS, bore scoring, etc. I would definitely recommend a PPI from trusted expert. These things can be big money to maintain, so I'd be looking for lots of paperwork evidence showing caring owner at respected indy, otherw...

Re: My riviera blue 1994 993 C2

Given your attention to detail, I’d e very interested in seeing your E and where you’re up to with the 996. Love the 993 - a really great example Thanks. I didn't think there'd be any interest in my 996 in these forums, although I have done a lot of work on it and it's got it's own story. Maybe one...

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........

Looks like someone bagged themselves a lovely looking pastel blue 1970 911T on Car & Classic auction for £64.5k plus fees. Love this colour & looks in very good condition from the many photos. I'm always very dubious buying from online auctions, especially older cars & never being able t...

Re: 2023 Call for DDK Calendar submissions!

Oooh now we have even more lovely 993 photos to choose from. Surely good enough for at least one to make it into the calendar. Cheers Chet - was a blinding day at C&M 😊

Re: My riviera blue 1994 993 C2

Lovely_ i have a hankering for a 993 convertible - but in a cool colour -like these- not the normal male menopause boring navy or silver!! Yes it's a bit of a shame 90's and 00's buyers seemed to be very conservative in their colour preferences. Can't beat a bright or different colour, especially o...

Re: My riviera blue 1994 993 C2

Hi Toby. Only just caught up with this strand, but good to see you on here. I’ve just started following you on IG, and as you probably know as you follow me at @motoreye , much of my Porsche life chimes in with yours as I’ve had a 993 (in what I thought was cool black - but now I’ve seen the light!...

Re: My riviera blue 1994 993 C2

I've been chatting for some time with some of my 993 buddies about getting our unusually coloured 993's together. We always seem to get 1 or 2 at some event, but never all in same place at same time. There's not so many brightly coloured 993's so it sounded like great way to celebrate these fantasti...

Re: Classics at the Castle

Great, by sounds of it, my wife will not be alone with her relatively short interest level looking at cars, and she will be happy to wait longer while I do. And it's not just "a load of car-geeks in a field talking about their cars" as she thinks! Personally I can't wait to see all these a...

Re: Classics at the Castle

Weather looks good & rain holding off until following day which is great ! I've even persuaded my wife to come, and it's our 20th wedding anniversary weekend so no small feat given she has zero interest in "hanging around guys in a field talking about cars all day". She's never been to...
