Porsche 997.2 C2S

[mike150]

So after selling a perfectly good aero kited black 997.1 C2S with a Strasse rebuilt engine ........not sure why!............I found myself looking at them again.

A particular 997.2 C2S stood out to me.

Collection was today

2008 53k car
385bhp
Manual
Carnewal stainless exhaust
Bose stereo
Electric memory hardback seats
Sunroof
Massive file of maintenance expenditure

The car is immaculate, infact is unbelievably good for a 13 year old car. It is probably known by a few NI people as it lived in NI for for 5 years and was bought new in NI

Currently on the way home...........

Shell V Power is £1.57pl in South England

Good buy! Nice & useable, then resealable!

Funny I meant to mention I was really close to buying an M4 or F80 M3 but with me not going to use it all that much and depreciation still to go on them I thought it would be unwise..........

So spend more on a 997 to cost less in ownership Man maths! Gotta love it on here.

The Elise ain't going anywhere BTW, I love it too much.

Gen2 much better back to back?

Gen2 much better back to back?

Hard to tell yet but the PCM is way better finished and better quality.

The engine is sharper to respond, it's a bit more efficient and I think the rev limit is higher.

The actual drive of the car is a whole level up though, smoother and tighter. That may be just the fact the car is 3 years newer and 10k less than my Gen 1 but its hard to believe that that's all it is.

My Gen 1 was black, black is complete PITA to keep looking good! Ace when it's clean, dirty the next day.........and it didn't go anywhere. Silver is

That’s it, I’m selling up, all these silver Gen2’s popping up over here!

Lovely car. Look forward to hearing how you get on with it.

Went over the snake pass in the Peak District yesterday, weather was bad but while it's good if you're in the area it's no Scotland.

Over looking lake Windermere. What a view for breakfast.......

Can even see the new toy

 

[Todd]

Love these in silver. Great purchase!

I agree with the black, it's one of the nicest when clean, but trying to keep it clean isn't worth it!

 

[mike150]

Heard a stone impact yesterday on the M1 but didn't see anything.........

Then this in the glass this morning..........

13 year original screen cracked after 1 day in my care FFS. Not happy

On another note related to this, some of the driving standards in England are shocking, cutting in, jumping across 4 motorway lanes in 1 move, under taking, tail gating. Scotland and NI are definitely better.

 

[mike150]

And 1 very very dirty Porsche home......

Looks fantastic

Low Wood resort Winander club, really fantastic place but for the dinner in their restaurant, 'Blue Smoke', the meal was seriously below average with frozen flour based chips!

I was across a few weeks back with a transporter on dropping a car off near Coventry and the amount of times I thought I was going to be hit by some ejit cutting across lanes to get off or on the M6 was crazy. Scotland was much better but NI has plenty of 'speshul' drivers too it has to be said, mostly doing 40mph EVERYWHERE or obviously on their feckin phones.

Apologies for the rant, lovely car, health to enjoy.

 

[KeithRobinson]

Health to enjoy! It's a beauty.

 

[Eamo_vxr]

Looks lovely. Probably better it hit the windscreen instead of a big stone chip/dent on the paint.

Had a repair man out today and he say NO, he recommended getting a new screen but not to use Autoglass as they just do a cheap fast job.........So waiting on another man coming back to me about a new screen.

Spent the day cleaning and it really is mint. I've just found myself taking off the exhaust trims and polishing them as well as cleaning the battery bay and repainting the battery holder bracket with zinc silver due to corrosion and a new zinc bolt.........along with a load of other wee things no one will ever see! OCD really impressed with this car........... except for the screen

Had windscreens on my audi and bmw both done by national windscreens. No compliments. But guessing you want an oem screen?

 

[mike150]

Had a good run out in the sun today as I had a job to do in Killyleagh so may as well enjoy the trip.
Love the way this car drives, class thing, comfortable, quick, involving, sounds ace, looks brilliant...........all just my opinion of course.

@PDM called up and I think he loved it too.

Some mild condensation in the LED taillights after a drive or in the sun so ...........quick strip and a warming with the heat gun. Hopefully sorted.

Yer damm right i did.
Such a nice motor mate.

 

[mike150]

Cleans up well (not like it was dirty ) but now it's destined to go back on charge and under a cover until the spring..........maybe.........if we get a good spell and I've time I think I'll tax it.

Wheels are in absolutely perfect condition and set it off so well

It's also finally back on the original registration, FFZ, it was bought new in Porsche Belfast many moons ago.

I got some repair resin for the cracked screen and had a go but it's only about 50% better. My insurance company, Admiral, won't pay for a genuine screen which is £750 fitted and will only contribute £50 towards it so I haven't done anything. I'm reluctant to get a cheap screen fitted. Will wait and see what the MOT says or if it gets worse.

It’s huge the difference properly unmarked rims make to a car, looks fresh.
