Default Long time listener, first time caller.. now with new pictures

Hi All,

been lurking here for the best part of 18 months while I try and make my mind up on the 993 / 996 debate..

Today you'll be pleased to know I finally completed on the purchase of my ideal car And I reckon you'll think I came down on the right side of the fence too...

Its a late 95 993, in polar silver, sports seats, MO30 suspension, 18 inch alloys, 30k miles and a load more options that I havent figured out yet

One thing I've already learnt is you need pictures !! So here's the first..



Now... when does this grin go ?

You'll lose the grin (but only briefly) when the first major bill comes in!

And if you took out a loan, you can automate the monthly payments so they're off your radar screen!

Congratulations. I love polar silver cars. Have fun and be sure to check out p-car.com so that you can save money so that you can spend it on mods.

It took you 18 months to figure that out..? Were you on drugs or someting?

Congratulations, looks like a great car.

The grin surfaces at seemingly random times.
