I've never fell out with him. I even helped him install springs and shocks.. Must be short of mates, thats all i can say.

No, he has a personality disorder, and falls out with everyone at some point. Oh well, at least its for the 'good of the community'.

What a crying shame.

As the title says, where has the 'great one' got too?

My mate got rid of his a few months ago, was the cleanest one you could imagine, was just like new. Anyway, before he put it up for sale, he had it serviced, it needed belts and sparkplugs. And the bill..................4.5k You need to be a rich rich man to run those cars, as lovely as they are. Always something breaking on it, but that noise, nothing like it.

Thanks for that. I wanted the added luxury that the 4S (particularly in the spec I've got), gives over the GT3, and I prefer the turbo body that the 4S uses. This car has all the performance you'll ever need in the real world, and the ability to completely use it to the full.

That is a truely gorgeous motor, Liam, well done.

Have you driven it yet? that will help you decide.

£75 for quick sale.

Very good condition, very few stone chips. £100. For collection in Oxford area, or shipping can be easily arranged.

No probs, you supplying the hot females?

You'll be seeing stars if you dont watch it!

Full frontal paintshield now in place.

No, nothing but positive threads about the car. Having said that, management have somewhat changed since BMWgate, when you were there, Kev. Lets not start all that again, anyway.

Haha, always knew you were a fruiter!

Not another race challenge! Or are you talking about GETTING IT ON!????

Just shows that any car can suffer mechanical failure no matter what brand it is. Yeah, they are the Turbo wheels, all spec'd up by the director of Porsche Sheffield. He ticked most of the boxes and drove the car for 1500 miles, then sold it on as dealers do. Best car Ive ever driven, no danger. Its more fun than my old zed, as you can exploit all the power all the time, and point to point, not much will touch it, the handling/pace is mind boggling. Well happy.

I know the RMS issue is carried over from other engines, but never heard of detonating engines from any of the Porsche sites.

I bought this car as I love the way it drives, the way it looks and how its put together. Also, its my only car and I need something that isnt going to let me down. This is the only true performance car that can do it all, cruise, track, etc and not let you down. Running costs are very reasonable, 20k service intervals, insurance the same as the modded zed. Yes its not as powerful as my old zed, but its too easy to get stuck on pub figures, their is a very good reason why this car is nearly 3 times as expensive as a zed, its a thoroughbred car, and engineered to perfection. Its so much quicker than the figures suggest, goes like a rocket, and the noise is just divine. I love Ferrari's, but they arent every day cars, and are a bag of @*!# in terms of reliability and running costs. A mate of mine just put his 355 in for a minor service and got a bill for 4.5k! I'll have a Ferrari as a weekend toy one day, though. The exhaust and springs were fitted by the previous owner. If you buy a car like this, modifying just doesnt improve it (exhaust etc are not really mods in my opinion), Porsche know what they are doing.

You dont mess with these things, it just ruins the resale, I wont do it again. Its perfect from factory, thats what you pay the money for. The kit is the factory Aero kit, everything on it is factory, except Techart springs, and a tubi exhaust.

Thanks fella's.

Plenty of Porsche-haters around on these Zed sites but I'm glad to say I'm not one. Enjoy. And I'll bet none of them have driven one/owned one.

Yeah, looks great, best car ive ever driven, without shadow of a doubt. I always liked the look of the 997, especially with the aerokit, then I drove one. All the hype is justified. Huge spec, and tubi mufflers. A happy man.
