New 996TT owner intro
Hi Guys,
After a Porsche drought of nearly 10 years I finally jumped back into the pool with my dream car. I purchased an 03' 996 TT in Polar Silver with Black, only 41K miles, and to make the wife a happy driver this example has the Tip S tranny.
Age 50 now, my P car obsession started at age 19 with a 75 914 2.0 as has included a 77' 930, 95' 993, 99' 996, and 4 different 968's. I'm an obsessive garage wrench, nothing intimidates me when it comes to mods and working on these great cars. I was also a pretty serious track rat and PCA DE instructor for the Hill Country, Lone Star and Maverick Regions for several years in my 968 Club Sport at all the central Texas tracks. Sadly having 3 kids in school killed the racing budget for a while; but time goes by and I'm excited to be back in the family as it were. Hoping to take the TT to some of the DE's here in the Az region and get back onto the track.
Rennlist was always a wonderful resource with the 968's, and the same looks to be true with the 996TT, lots of incredible support. Looking forward to getting to know the regulars here and hope I can occasionally contribute to the knowledge base.
Best Rgds
