Another gorgeous 996. Welcome to the board. As I post I am talking to a long time friend on skype. I showed her your car via skype camera and then noticed that it is a RHD. Then on checking your avatar that you are in the I O S. My friend tells me that she has stayed at the Kinloch Lodge Hotel in 2008. My friend lives in Lancashire England. You are going to need snow tires where you live if you make it your DD.

i have just ordered Victor Innsbruck wheels for my NB C2, on 18's, 8.5 & 10.5 width I think. Other members have them and I think they look great, just waiting for them to arrive

I love that interior. Very sharp!
I have owned my 2000 C2 for over 8 years now and it has been low maintenance. It gives me the same thrill as the first day of ownership. And it is a great platform for modifications that will deliver just what you want from your motoring experience. Best of Luck.
