Nice colour choice! That back bumper arrangement still upsets me though!
Agreed, it’s not right.

Had a great day last week driving a new 992 911 Carerra at the Porsche Experience Centre at Silverstone. Great half day of fun with great Instructors who really encouraged me to go as hard as possible once he worked out I wasn't likely going to kill him. Great setup and excellent food too. Tight enough wee track on the bigger handling circuit but was surprised at how fast you could go and the simulated ice tracks and skid areas were great fun.
If you ever get a chance to go it's a great day, would make me want to order another Porsche to get another invitation lol.

Love that blue GT3!

Not keen on the bonnet stripe but apart from that it is perfect.
Lads are these CSR 911s desirable in the Porsche world or not really loved? Personally I love them, but wouldn't want to be paying that kind of money to either lose loads or be stuck with a car nobody wants to buy.
I can see where all the money has been spent like, and from what I can see it is a well sorted 996?

They do seem to spend a lot of time developing using the likes of Tim Harvey etc which is good to see. Just wasn't sure if the Porsche purists approved or not, as 50k could buy a decent 997 911, or good 996 turbo etc.
I just think they look class!
unless you were a die hard 996 fan i dont personally see the attraction... 50K woudl buy a very nice 911 - i guess a 997.2 GTS for example ? clearly i'm biased as i think the 997.2 is a sweet spot in the range right now, but if i had more to spend than my little C2 i would find it very hard to walk past a GTS.
That is very true, but the 996 does little for me for some reason. One parked next to me at the Ring last week and it looked very dated. Its weird, as I think the C4S and Turbo still look fresh enough, from the outside anyways.
Ideally I want a 997.2 GT3, but that'll have to wait a wee while. GTS is a good shout though, I'll have a look and see what manual ones are about.
That is lovely inside and out, I particularly like the back of it, just a pity the wheels aren't a bit more dished to really set it off.
But I'd struggle to pay £50k for it. The 996 4S is heavy and not that powerful, so compared to other things you're considering and what you want to do with it, I'd be worried you might quickly get bored of it. Don't get me wrong, it would be a lovely handling car down a nice sweeping road, bit of an old school analogue feel to it, but performance wise it's never going to knock your socks off!
