Default Just purchased a 996

After a 14 month search and some great help from you guys I have just made a deal on a 2001 996 C4. Manual trans, 62 k miles, Meridian metallic with Dark Gray leather and lighter gray carpet, PSM, Technic, power seats, 3 spoke wheel, all maintenance up to date and done at a very reputable shop. I spoke with the indy today who checked out the car and everything looks good. I also plan on doing the IMS, RMS and water pump at ruf. Will pick the car up tomorrow. I am major league pumped. It will be quite a bit different than my old 944 turbo.

How does one go from not knowing how to spell emoticon one day to being unable to live without them the next? Had to use spell check to find the 'I' in emoticon.

+1 for Meridian Metalic!

I have yet to see one on the road since I bought mine a year ago.

Enjoy...

Ok after sleeping in the garage I got home late and got this one pick before it got totally dark. I hope to get out on the weekend and get a good set of pics. Here it is pumpkins blazing.
