Default Bought my first Porsche

So I no longer need to post updates in my other thread "buying my first Porsche" as I actually bought one today

So its a 2002 C4S which drove smooth as hell during the test drive and with 83'500 km on the clock. Previous owner was 70 yo and sold it because of this. The car is in mint condition and even smelt like factory new leather... All stamps are in the service book and got 12 month warranty as well ad full service and new MOT. Oh, new front tyres to be fitted as well and full service...

Delievery on the 19th sf January, so photos to follow.

Damn I'm excited...

Congatulations......patience is a virgin, right? Cuz' its never been tried.........the waiting will be tough, you might want to find the right spot to put your chair in the garage so you can sit and stare and smile at the new purchase once it actually arrives....we know that you will beciase most of us did the same thing. Enjoy and please send pix!
