Please tell me if you are still coming and credit $46.75 to RSG account, if not already done. That covers the Playday fee.

Please note that BB is running Repco front pads. If that offends, then being some tools and put the spare EBC Yellows on. And no, the wheels can't be changed over to the Grinch's set of new Dunlops. That said it would be good to run off the new coating if time permits. Maybe we'll get a seventh session and can bring the Grinch out
I'm in and have now paid

The pipe change hasn't made a massive difference I don't think. If anything slightly deeper? Changing the noise wasn't the main aim though I was curious to see how much difference it did make. Your welcome to have a drive/listen and see what you think?

To be honest the linen has grown on me and my wife doesn't want to talk to me as I want to change. The linen does have a lushness to it That said, I hate a dirty looking car and i've always thought a simple black interior had a certain 'teutonicness' about it

For sure. I still feel betwixt and between. I'll let you know when/if i change

I'm guessing it's his car. Not seen another 996TT that colour. The post made me laugh. Sounds like he almost ran into you in the excitement.

Not from what I can see, although that's not to say they can't be found. 912 anyone?
Used Porsche in Greece
