Default 996 finally arrived today!
After five weeks and two days since I purchased my 99 996 it has finally arrived! Jake Raby was great to deal with .. Unfortunately there were many delays with the transportation company..but it was worth the wait.. Now on to the Glen at the end of September!

Nice looking car. Enjoy the ride and if you aren't familiar with the limits yet test the tail breaking loose in many ways and speeds to have an idea of where and when to push harder. The will be a fun time I'm sure for you.

I will definitely take it easy my first time out, especially after being used to tracking a 07 Boxster S .. I have been around the Glen a few times in a couple of RSA'S!

Is that Jakes old car?

Have a great time at the Glen but stay away from the blue bushes.

No doubt you'll enjoy Jake's/wife's old Porsche. It looks very nice Anthony. Enjoy it at the track.

I know the history of the car very well and can get you in touch with the PO. it was a dedicated track car before Jake bought it with a blown engine.
