Default Time to say goodbye

After 6 years of ownership I am about to sell my beloved 993S. Enjoyed the car tremendously but I have been lusting after a 'weekend toy' 997 turbo for several years now and finally gave in. Just bought a Arctic/Cocoa '07 with 12000mls.
So the 993 has to go. Although I hardly posted here I enjoyed the people and this forum a lot. Wish you all the best!

Never thought my username would become obsolete.

EDIT :
Since posting this I got numerous PM messages of US members wanting to buy this car. Car is located in Belgium EUROPE and is a German spec car so not possible.
Thanks

Really bad move.You will regret it forever. Vesuvio pearl effect (code 40X or 40M)is the nicest color Porsche has ever offered. Your 993 was a special edition anniversary model. The wheels,door mirrors,door handles and rear spoiler grill were painted in steel gray metallic(code 61W). You should never forget that you owned the ultimate 2WD 993.If I ever repaint any of my 993's it will be in the 97' anniversary color set. Enjoy your 997.

A Turbo is a nice little upgrade!

I'm not a fan of silver but I'm sure it will be a nice car. Enjoy it!

Lie, cheat, steal, pillage, whatever it takes to keep them both.

Nothing better than two 911s in the garage.

Lose the Lotus, unless that is your track car. (The track always comes first)

Uh yes it can!

The car can be imported through a registered importer and it complies with U.S. importation guidelines:

If someone wants to bring this in let me know as I've shipped cars around the world quite regularly!

I'm with vram- you'll regret it. Keep it for 6 months, you may change your mind. Once this one is gone, you'll never get it back!

I haven't come across a special edition like yours. Wish you all the best with your new toy, but you will probably have a hard time in forgetting this 993. All the best.

Rudy, you should change your Rennlist name to "Jellybean". That car, if you add it to your collection will add a whole new dimension of beauty and color. Good luck in your ventures, Denis.
