I like them too!

Got a lot done this weekend. Swapped on the new carbon fiber mirrors and completed the center console upgrade. New painted console over a Numeric shifter, with Black Forest **** and new leather on shifter, ebrake, and armrest.

How's the numeric? Worth the price? I've heard that it transmits alot of vibes into the center console. True?

I ventured into Mayfair in Central London to take a few Photos of my 996, at a favourite spot.. Took some of my 968 there too, and the place is super quiet with a very muted backdrop etc.






Once I was done, I exited on to Mount Street, and this caught my eye, parked outside The Connaught..

Haven’t had a chance to drive it yet. From reading others’ accounts, it’s mostly the cables that transmit NVH.

Its worth the price, and as the other poster stated only the cables transmit noise. The shift console will not make noise.

I guess those white wheels are "correct" on the 959, but I am not digging them.

I wouldn't kick the rest of the car out of my garage however

WOW!
The Porsche 959 is my all-time favorite car.
My dream garage as a teenager was a Porsche 959 and an AMG Hammer.
Unfortunately I've never seen either in person.
There's a 959 in town that goes to some of the events, but I always seem to miss it.
One of these days I hope to see it in person.

959, one of the best cars Porsche ever made! Set the standard for 40 years.

Default Aaah the Connaught!

Stunning. What a great part of town. Love the Coburg Bar. Nice photo spot too, the colors are very muted. Broke my foot so I can't drive, but hope to be out of the garage soon.

Got some replacement badges for the rims. Called about getting a tune done to push the HP.
