Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

13 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It is with some sadness (but also lots of excitement) that I take my leave of you, having today virtually mortgaged my soul and upgraded to a 997. Thanks to all for your assistance and camaraderie over the last 2 1/2 years and in particular many thanks to Richard for his wisdom and incredibly useful tips which have probably saved me significant amounts of dosh as well. I just hope the 997 lot are as friendly as you guys! Wishing you continuing joy with your treasured vehicles. Kind regards Ellis

POST 2Original post

More so![ ] May I be the first to welcome you! Which 997 have you bought and when do you collect? Photos?[8D] Cheers Alan

POST 4Original post

Well done Ellis. Presumably you have gone for the fastest colour again - silver! Sad to see you go, but I'm sure you'll enjoy the 997 just as much. The 997 boys are a friendly bunch (but not as friendly as we are [ ]), and I'm sure they'll brief you on the foibles of the 997 - of which there must be a few! Atb

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the welcome. I collected it from Porsche Centre Leicester today. It's a midnight blue (sorry Richard) C2S Coupe, first registered in June 2005 (which generation is that?) with various bits including sports exhaust. What a nice drive home to London!! Pictures tomorrow!!

POST 6Original post

Nice upgrade Ellis, I hope the 996 guys don't mind us invading...! [ ] Your 997 will be Gen1, Gen2 is very recent... The 996/997 are similar, so I'm sure Richard will be just as useful [ ] garyw

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

And I phoned Colchester about yours but you had already put down the deposit! Also looked like a lovely car.

POST 11Original post

Its funny actually as mine plate also starts with AE05...Doesn't that mean they came from the same dealership originally?

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Not sure but I do know that mine was sold by Porsche Centre Cambridge in June 2005.
