Honestly my .2 journey just kind of happened! I was at my local dealer for a recall issue, and they had this gorgeous Night Blue Metallic TT that looked flawless on the lot. I asked about it, took it home that day on trade in lol. 2 owner, dealer maintained, less than 10k miles with 3 years CPO left, was a no brainer. I had a 991.1 C2 before that I loved and was in excellent shape, it tracked well, was my daily, etc. I had an investment pay off in 2022 where I could put down a good down payment and not really be out of pocket much on my payment so it was an easy call. Got it PPF'd in the important areas, and been loving it since.
I wish I had PDCC for sure since I do track work 3-4x a year.
I would love an Akropovic, so if that already comes with it, you are in luck. They're about double the cost of my Fabspeed, so... lol. But they sound incredible. If they start making GT3s with back seats for my kids to ride in, I'm getting one and throwing that exhaust on!
I'm in SE Texas so I run Michelin PS4s all year. They handle everything, even our bad rains/hurricane weather in the spring/fall really well.

With only 10k miles barely broken in - essentially brand new and CPO to match.
Having the PDCC is a nice bonus and it will be interesting to see if I can actually notice the difference. I’m thinking not being a 911 newbie lol.
That is a bonus if it actually fitted with an Akropovic exhaust.
Zero plans to drive it during the winter season here.
Having said that it does rain here a fair bit a times. So… more research my end with what to go with etc.

Cheers. Never looked at white cars previously until we purchased our Macan.
I’ll have to upload a quick pic of the Macan - where the desire for white and black combo on a Porsche started.
Yep it has an aftermarket exhaust.

But yeah I've really been struck with the storm trooper vibe from the car, they're a real stunner.

Wow.... how time flies. We are now nearing the end of May and my last update/post was back in March.
So with that I thought I'd document the official arrival of the 911 on March 27th.
Here is a quick Vid of legend's arrival. You can hear I'm a little excited lol.

First minor mod. Well not really a mod. Was installing the mandatory front licence plates. Didn't want to drill into the front bumper in order to mount so.... went with this option. Actually removing the plastic piece in the front bumper to expose the toe hook threaded section - did take a fair amount gentle persuasive force. Was actually surprise how much force was required in order to pop it off.

Sorry man, front license plates are an absolute tragedy.

This month completed oil changes on both the Macan and 911. The 911 wasn't scheduled later this year in August but... I was keen to tackle that and get cracking me the maintenance/TLC etc.
My best mate is watching to ensure I'm not slacking off and keeping the 911 safe and secure lol.

Quick view of the Macan after the oil change. Squeaky clean and looking good 
.
The plyboard is mainly to assist with bit of cushioning from the road surface.

Here is a pic of the 911 lifted in my mighty large garage lol. Well that is stretching the truth somewhat ha. Having said that I make do and have tackled some amazing feats in this tight space.
Can anyone kindly confirm what exhaust the beast is rocking?
