Im a brit that grew up on curry...but having gone back a few times over the last couple of year i would have to say, that at there is some terrific food in the UK, our last trip was london and up the west coast of scotland, and isle of Sky. had some very memorable meals......nothing as good as here in Charleston, but thats a pretty high bar ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Yes the food in England has improved. There are some top notch restaurants in London - incredible ones. Fantastic Indian food too. But on average, its just OK. Unless you are really into steak and kidney pies, cornish pasties, bangers and mash, bubble and squeak etc..

This thread hasn't been about the 991S vs the 997GTS in a long while now.
I hope one of the Mods won't shut us down because I'm having a blast! ![thumbsup](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/bigok.gif)
I guess they're enjoying it too as long as we keep it civil...![bigbye](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/xyxwave.gif)
So which car should I go for when there will be time to change my 996TT? The 997GTS,the 997.2GT3 or the 991S? Keep in my mind I'm not a Brit,nor Canadian,I don't live in South Florida and I don't care about doing donuts with my parking brake.![hiha](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/roflmao.gif)

You can't go wrong. I can bet you anything you won't be disappointed!
I just hope they'll offer a manual too...

Not for a long time as they need to sell all the regular 991's first and according to very reliabe reports they are not selling at all as no one has seen them in S Florida....

I've read several rumors but the one that has been repeated in a couple of sources I've seen is that it will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March of 2013. Supposedly, Porsche will start taking orders shortly thereafter. Time will tell...
I honestly don't know whether I would go MT or PDK, but like you, I hope they give me (and everyone else) the choice!

According to my sources, Porsche is boycotting S Florida. They are planning a re-launch of the 997.1 for that market, complete with a rheostatic e-brake, no rear deck lettering and internal console delete. The "new" 911 will only come with non-race tires and will cut all power when anyone attempts a 360. This will be the last 911 ever so as to avoid any further discussion of when the last true 911 was. PDK will be discontinued. Ferrari has the California. Porsche will simply name it the Flo, to pay hommage to its burgeoning retro So Florida market. It will not be sold, under any circumstances, to libs, gays, **** stars, Californians, Muslims, or paying members of Rennlist.

I still have to have fish and chips whenever i go back, though i actually cooked my own version here the other night at a fun dinner party and it got rave reviews
i agree tho, generally a lot of brit food is still overcooked vegetables and ration era staples that became traditional..
cheers
