Saw that vid previously during one of my YouTube binge watching sessions, and I have to say I love that color!

This is one of the best 996 videos out there. His enthusiasm is just so invigorating. There's also a video where Jethro drives Magnus Walker's 964 where he is equally happy:

So nice to see that he owns and loves an early 996.

The best part is where he essential says "if you like, that is all that matters" its funny to me how divided car culture can be about a specific car or the culture surrounding it.

That has never bothered me. I actually like when I have a car people look past. I noticed the people who are also interested in cars that aren't universally praised are more interesting people. In general, they usually don't care what others think. More objective personalities. Makes for much more interesting discussions.

I found this video a year of so ago when I searched and watched every 996 video on YouTube while waiting for my impulse buy 996 aero to arrive. It is my favourite 996 video on YouTube. I have watched it many times.

Here is my favourite 996 turbo video.

I enjoy the whole video but the last two mins are the most entertaining.

The woman's reactions are kind of funny and his car control is admirable.
