Congratulations!

I adore that colour of paint - makes me want to open a great Shiraz and look at cars!

Cheers,
Thom

Thanks. Things aren't all rosy though. Went to Canadian Tire to get e-test, safety, RIV inspection etc. Did not pass the safety. Was told that "tie rod" on driver side was worn! Car is now at Zotorech in Stoney Creek. Will see how that goes.

Nice ride! Welcome to forum!

Think you'll make it out to one of the Saturday meets with your new ride?

How much mileage? I don't think heard of tie-rod replacements being common on the 997.1

That is what the mechanic at Zorotech said. Car has 48,000 km. He has not confirmed yet that it is the tie rod. That was the diagnosis of the Canaddian Tire guy. I did check it myself when it was on the hoist. There was a lot of play in the front driver wheel back and forth (left to right). Did not check up and down. I am supposed to get the car back tonight so I will know then.
