Default Some pics of my car...

I cleaned my car up today - despite the weather!

www.modica.co.uk/porsche.htm

I'd put em here but I have already built my website so get on over there! 56k users beware there are quite a few pics for the sake of it (well she is my baby!)

TTFN!

Picked a good week to get a cable modem. Looks great. A couple of quick questions. Is or has the car been garage kept? Are there any stone chips I the front? It looks like there are none to speak of.

She's never been garage kept as far as I know... and the front end is more white than black. It's awful! The pictures hide it well... I plan on a front end respray this year but it'll only get like that again I fear...

Was wondering about that. I have quite a few chips in the front of my car (black as well) but they never show in the pics. I will be in line for a front re-spray in the next year or so. Love your wheels. Notice that it is left hand drive...does that throw you off?

Great pictures, very nice car! I love the BBS wheels, she looks very racy hunkered down on those 18's. The 993 always looks good in black.

Thanks guys!

I'm not keen on the BBS rims.. I REALLY want some stock 18 inch twists but I think I'll stick with what I have for now.

I have no problems with LHD at all... in fact I prefer it!

That is a very sharp looking car...still debating if in a year and a half i want the 993 TT or a newer 996 Carrera.

993TT... I do. I'm hoping to supercharge mine in the meantime (well it'll be a few years before I have a house with a warm enough garage for a TT )

Thanks for the kind comment

The shine is easy (and my paint work sucks)... I use Turtle wax polish and either 2 or 3 hours of manual labour (coat it!) or a circular buffer (3000rpm jobby)... works a treat for me!

Thanks for the comment too
