Default 3.6 redux, back in the game!

Hi old friends!
This is my second 3.6T. If you remember I had a black/beige/black piping pristine condition car back in 2008. That car has been sold and I have been looking for a suitable replacement ever since, life felt 'empty'. I purchased this car and i am very confident to say that it is in EVEN BETTER condition than my first car. colour is midnight/ivory, black piping
Please enjoy


ps...its good to be back!

Yes, I just got back from a long vacation from Europe and terribly miss the car. Preferably short drives in Afternoon to pick up coffee.

just got back from another reaffirming drive. I had just one foot in this decision but every drive reminds me how unique this car is. The enjoyment and tractability at low rpm is special since its so visceral without making a fuss. very raw car. What I am realizing is that more people seem to know what the car is, a big difference over 4 years ago, cant figure out why

Yes, for sure the Turbo 3.6 demands respect and people give you or usually annoy you in stop lights and ask if the car is for sale.

Best thing about the car other than the way it drives is the loud sound at idle "mine has aftermarket exhaust and camshafts" and the way it looks with the speedlines and the whale tail" This is the most menacing looking 911 Turbo and if I had to add another one it would be a 993 Turbo.

I see your pictures are in Heritage section, I find Mr Ashok being the most helpful member of the facility and one which will go an extra mile just to have the client being pleased with the service. The service workshop manager Pascal is a douchebag and quiet a snob, very unhelpful and will often try to avoid me and other clients "friends" I know. I think their labour rates are over priced but you can haggle with the guys after they complete your work. I know some members of the facility which will usually work after hours privately and are willing to work on cars outside of the service place.

thanks guys,
yes the manager at heritage seems a bit more 'distant', surprised at that, wonder what happened that changed his very warm and friendly nature. ashok and imtiaz are great, but frankly i dont give a #^@$@ about personality, i am just interested in great service for good price in order to keep this car in perfect condition.
