Default Introduction

After lurking this site for many years, I figured now is good time to introduce myself after picking up my new to me '11 997.2 GTS. Searched around the country and ended up finding one, local private party of all places.

White on black with factory aero and 5 lugs.

Attached is how she sits (crappy iphone pic). Next up clear side markers and black stone guards.




Regards,

Adam

Welcome aboard. Having lurked for years. as you stated, you know that these forums are priceless. Sometimes pointless; but, in general the forum is an umbilical between the car owner and the community.

Awesome. If you don't mind me asking, how much. I have been searching for a black or possibly white .2 with aero and your GTS .2 with aero is a major score. Just traded my .2ttcab for a GTC Speed convertible, but would purchase a car like yours immediately if I could find one.

Feel free to PM me, happy to discuss details.

Thanks all for the warm welcome. I definitely owe the GTS a paint correction. One too many automatic car washes in its past life. Will post up some proper pics in the next week or so.
