My first thing on the to-do list is to upgrade the Sat-Nav firmware. I know it's the 16bit PCM 1.0 unit so upgrading with the Opel 2010-11 maps which I take it are a tad better than the 2002 discs that comes with the car. Have download the software and got the maps sorted for Western Europe...

Besides that, there is nothing I want to change as it is as beautiful as it can get and as some may have gathered, I'm not too fond of the 997, 991 exterior and interior but as well know it's all in the eye of the beholder and I love the 996 design, especially the C4S

Hurdigurdiman I agree, to have a 911 included in the photo would have brought it to a totally different level
