Great car mate. I hope your roads are well cared for and good for driving.

The ACT was was a wonderful place when I was there for a year. I did get out a few times and it was always a wonderful place. Must be nice enjoying the porsche over there.

Take care.

Sorry for the late reply guys. Again thanks for the kind welcome.

Mods hey... I think I'd like to start off slowly and build up speed
I'd defiantly thinking garage door opener is a must and the aluminum pedals and gauge rings, jut not sure whether the gauge rings would look too much along with the dials.

Great eye for detail jmla. It was low, had a slow leak in that one.

Finally as promised some interior shots.

NO, the aluminum gauge rings would not "look too much" witht the white dials.

Great looking car, but I wouldn't be comfortable forcing the passenger to drive.

Hmm, thanks for the pics. I think i could be convinced It looks like the first two pics are of a "brushed" finish and the last one "chrome"? I was fighting glare when i took the photos, and it is lying jut a bit. The dials are actually an aluminum finish not white, and with the bits of aluminum already in the car i think brushed gauge rings would be the way to go.

Actually, they don't seem to mind.

Great looking 996. Not sure by your camera by have transposed the picture as the it really appears that the steering wheel's on the wrong side of the car!

BTW, I love the brushed aluminum rings around the white dials. It really sets them apart.

All pics show aluminum brushed rings. The last pic was taken at night with a flash.

My dials are also the aluminum finish, not white, and the interior color is Graphite Gray.
