Congratulations on the car, I was very close to buying a similar example with the savannah beige interior but the owner stuck to his guns on the price!

Enjoy n drive carefully

That has to be one of the lowest mile 996tt in the US.
Great looking car, congrats!

Thanks again for the warm welcome.

Low mileage cars are certainly not immune from issues and the one thing I have found on this one is that the passenger side window doesn't "drop" when the door handle is activated. I can hear the motor and see it move slightly so I'm thinking it's a cable stretch problem. Found a good writeup here (or maybe 6Speed) on taking the slack out of the cables so I may try that.

I had a couple of requests for interior pictures. I had it out this morning and grabbed a couple. Light conditions were not great but you'll get the idea. I would describe the Natural Brown as kind of a butterscotch color. Very no-frills interior - no carbon fiber or wood. It does have the optional aluminum gauge faces which are OK.

Oh, and, I splurged the $80 for the "X50" plates. Figure most people will think it's a math thing... I know there's a lot of debate on the value of the X50 package but since it wasn't my $18K I'm pretty happy I have it!

Apologies for the ginormous pictures. I need to figure out a way to get those resized. Plus it looks like there is a 3MB total limit on all pictures? Is that normal?

Happy Saturday!

Beautiful dog. Why is the radio bezel and other trim black, thought they were usually same as main dash?

So wish the inside of my car was that colour instead of
the dreary black - looks much more interesting.

Lately seems something weird about the screen size when pix are posted, my screen goes to huge!

Anyone else have the same problem?

Here is the free photo hosting site I use; it's very easy and it's very quick:

http://tinypic.com/

* Choose your file
* Click "Resize" and select "Message Board"
* Click "Upload Now!"
* After the photo is uploaded, highlight the link under "IMG Code for Forums and Message Boards"
* Right click the highlighted link and select "Copy"
* Paste the copied link directly into your reply.

Pictures should be more viewable now. Dock, thanks for the suggestion of tinypic. I'm a bit paranoid about posting personal images to places like that but what I found was that their "message board" setting was basically a 800x600 72dpi. Using that format I resized my previous pictures using Preview on my Mac and, at least from my browser, it looks pretty good!

You post your personal images hosted at that site on a public forum (Rennlist), so I don't see the problem.
