Default My first 911

Hi guys,
It took a couple of years of sorting, but I picked up this 06 C2S finally after being in a nice e46 M3 for a few years. When I was a kid I used to have the Hot Wheels 930 and have always been partial to the style and design concept of the 911. The first car I drove was an old VW Beatle.
I liked the M3, but this is a far better car for me. Very glad to finally be in one.
Jason

By the way, does anyone know if the HRE wheels are worth anything? I'm not sure I like the star design yet. If they are worth it, I may have them polished and look for a buyer.

Congrats. HRE are good wheels. You shouldn't have a hard time selling them.

Those are my favorite Porsche seats. Have them in my 997, added tgem to my 928,and even made an office chair out of another one.

Good looking car with the wing and side skirts.

Congrats & welcome!

Thanks for the welcome guys.
Looking forward to being a lifelong community member with you all.

The Sport seats and the Tech Art wing motivated me to get this car in particular. The seats are great!
After some initial sorting, I'll be looking for some track lessons in the Fall hopefully. 911!

I was told by the seller they are Rennsport skirts, though I'm not sure. I think I may go back to stock there. I do have an Aero front bumper coming to work with the wing, which is Type 3 Tech Art wing. I presume these two function together well... I like the looks of it at least. lol

Welcome and congrats Jason. Those are old HRE 545R's that have been discontinued. If they are in good shape and only in need of a little elbow grease then you might get some good money for them.

Congrats. The diffuser add-on is interesting. Haven't seen many of those.
