Btw: I saw that your GT2 is for sale - why?!?

It may be another 98 GT2 but it is not mine that is for sale on the H & S site if that is the advert you are refferrng to.

OK - thought so, because the pics used seem to show your car.

They are the original sales pics of my car but Thomas can tend to use previous pictures obtained on occasions.
Re : limited edition 993 turbo 'S'. What a load of rubbish that I have been given. To Quote "sorry 170 turbo 'S' but 1 of 11 manufactured 1998". I am absolutely furious and I told the chap at the time he was talking a load of shoemakers.

I read this article too. Very nice write up. Your car was so much more appealing that the 996.

Thanks for clarifying.....

I wouldn't be too harsh on the chap. As these cars get older the truth will become more blurred that why it is so great to have forum like this with lots of knowledgable people, keeping it alive
