Der Beast - Take 2

Finally managed to find another German and another Porker for SE!
Took me a while to find a car that was in good condition with the proper history. So many cars advertised with FPSH...you check them out and find they missed (one one occasion) 5 years of servicing. "But I only did 7k miles in this time..."
Flew down to Gatwick on Friday and drove home....zzzz zzzzz.
Anyway, 2 prev owners, FPSH, Eisenmann exhaust and 40k miles.
Couple of stonechips but I'll tidy them up.
Once off the motorway I really enjoyed the drive. Sounds great and the power delivery is lovely.
Very impressed and can only imagine how good a GT3 or new 991 must be!

I think that you might need a new phone if your screen is showing that its blue Ian.
Do you have the number for O2 customer services?

Looks like metropole blue to me too
For a ten year old car it looks immaculate
How does it feel versus the Merc in the bum dyno stakes Gareth?

Not a problem
Blue and Savannah interiors are a trade no - no
hence the question

Does look blue in pics but is black.
Oh and in case Jim's display is dodgy...it's SEAL GREY
Greg, car nips on but it's not as ferocious as the Merc but that does have 130bhp more and the mega torque.
Still getting used to the driver position. I feel I sit quite high in the seat. I could be doing with the steering wheel lifting but it only moves forwards and backwards.
Seats are pretty firm.

Good Boy
I thought you'd forgotten years of coaching
Your driving position will need to conform to the " knees bent/arms bent - sitting closer to the wheel
It will feel ok after a while !

Gareth,
I thought you would have dabbled in an Evora by now, or are you now only propping up the German economy?

I saw it in the flesh today and it is a superb example, however the interior is definitely blue g, are you colour blind?
Or maybe i am.
