You should try to create a collage of the car to celebrate the 300k mark!

Just Awesome. Congratulations. If cars had feelings I bet yours would be the happiest 993tt of them all...as it sees the light of day and the feel of the road everyday. Makes my 70K miles seem like nothing.

s engine came w turbos
original clutch/turbos at 245K...when sold engine core...kevin at ultimate motorwerks rebuilt them and let me keep them so i have a spare set.
problems...hydraulic lifter collapse at 40k/90k (first guy put in wrong part?)...alternator, signal tree, accumulator, slave cylinder, fuel pump. most of expenses were windshields/tires/oil...:-)

Nice to see one that actually used their car. The 993 is built like a safe figuratively speaking. Simply having one in the garage gathering dust is just wasted in my opinion. As long as the car is maintained it will last for a very long time. MSW has proved that and so has many other people before him.

Trin...
No...he detailed my fcar 575...Robert Willis/autoconcierge in Fremont...he is imo the best. The paint looks like glass.
I picked up a porter cable da buffer several months ago/meguiar's 105 compound then 205 polish...don't have enough courage to do fcar (black). Silver easy...it has plenty of sandblasting/chips in front...just don't show in photos.
