Nice Car.

Similar to mine (photo below). Are you in Bucks County? That's where I grew up. Live in Jenkintown now. Any plans to track it? I run with Riesentoter PCA. A great group of people!

Welcome!

Welcome! Just a warning, once you've driven a Porsche your addicted for life, there is no cure! (Except owning/driving one of course!)

Wow! I’m new here also; continually told myself that I didn’t want a red 911. I think you’ve just changed my mind. That one is beautiful. Perhaps my second one will be red... Congratulations.

I've been lurking around here for awhile, learning as much as I can. Its a 2002, 50,xxx miles, Guards Red, Black Leather interior, 6-speed, sports exhaust. The IMS and clutch were replaced recently. The new IMS is an LN Engineering. The owner was selling because he was getting a little too old and the car was too low for him. I've got all of the service records, nothing major, but a handful of minor stuff. Most recent was replacing the coolant tank. The owner paid for a PPI for me, and over-revs are good, nothing in range 2.

Welcome!

I am in Bucks - thanks for the heads up, I will check out Riesentoter PCA. I haven't decided about tracking yet; I would like to, but for now I am just enjoying driving around the country roads.
