Default Finally together - Turbo 3.6 & 996 Turbo

Finally got my cars in one place. No more storage for my toys.

Both cars from the same lineage, but very different in drivability. My wife is currently using the 996 Turbo as her shopping basket. No complaints so far. I'm just as happy cruising in the Turbo 3.6. Happy families.


BTW: Sorry for the picture quality. Can't seem to upload photos from iPhone or iPad so the Macbook Air is the only computer I have access to right now and I'm not sure how to use it properly.

They are 'Brothers from another Mother'

Its been interesting seeing how people react to the cars. Younger people seem to give the newer car a second look. Others stop and stare at the Turbo 3.6 and take photos on their phone.

I feel lucky to have both of them and to now be able to share the passion with my wife. She all but refuses to drive the older car, but has no problems getting out in the newer one.

It's excessive having two Turbos in New Zealand so I try to lie reasonably low, even if there is a 10 year gap between purchases.

Congrats,

It seemed like not that long ago you were contemplating selling the 3.6. Instead you added another but with 2 turbos. All the best.

Thanks Anthony. Yes, I was looking at selling, but got the green light to have two. I'm a lucky man
