thought I'd update this thread

Had my driving experience couple of days ago. It consisted of a 1/2 day one on one session on the Silverstone facility & I opted for a 997 C2S manual. Did the ice hill, the kick plate, the low friction circuit + quite a bit of time on their handling circuit.

Handed photo duties over to my wife , so here is me out on the track ( I'm the little blue dot coming around the handling circuit )



Anyway, it was great fun sliding & spining & the 997 is a quick car.

Interesting ( for me ) to compare the 997 to other cars I have driven. Can't deny it's performance is fantastic, but it does lack the feel of the older cars. Don't think I could ever have one as a 'fun' car , and it doesn't meet my requirements for a daily driver either
