Thank you MYW!

Nice meeting you at Cars and Coffee yest. Gorgeous car, and still looks like a clone of another customer's at first glance (even though her front end is missing)!

i love the simple 911 rear badging. Where did you get it from ? is it OEM ?

It was nice talking to you, Simon. Sad what happened to Holly's 997. I am glad she is fine.

My car came from factory with this badge. The simple "911" badge was introduced as an option for the 997.2 model (if I am not wrong).

My VIN build shows this option as:
911 - Model Designation "911"

Suncoast Parts has it on their website in black or chrome:

Re Leather care… as sparingly as possible and never Lexol if you want to preserve the matte/low sheen new look. I only use Sonus (Cleaner and Conditioner) - works great, as per instructions and a little goes long way.

I only clean the leather once a year or so since I don't drive much and I always try to avoid black jeans when I take her for a spin.

I have been using lexol for years with no-shiny look results. The trick is to let the conditioner sit for a few minutes and wipe it off with a dry microfiber towel.

I am just back from the highly recommended Driver's Choice Motors in Longwood, FL (I am not affiliated) where her 6-year old maintenance service has been performed.

Performed services:
- spark plugs replacement;
- oil and filter change;
- air filters replacement;
- cabin air filter replacement;
- brake fluid flush and change.

Odometer reading: 14,163

Any reason why you didnt get the PDK clutch oil and the AWD controller oil changed?

The recommended change interval for spark plugs is 4 years. Did you keep going another two years due to your low mileage?
