(red , yellow, black are the colors of the German flag) , at first I thought it was strange and was thinking of either changing the belts to black or red or go for yellow brakes but after seeing it in real I decided it looks ok.

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.

Hello all ,
After years without a Porsche I finally have one again. I am very happy with the car. I have been looking for a perfect 993 for a long time.
With luck I stumbled on this incredibly nice 996 4S with only 10.000 kms and decided to forget the 993 for now.
It is really like I wanted my car to be (black on black) no sunroof and rear wiper , things I dislike on a Porsche. Of all 996 I like the C4S the best so this is a bonus to me as well.
Previous owner is a 70 year old gentleman and he pampered this car so much it still looks and feels like a brand new car both in , out and underneath.
The way I like it ! My cars do not see any bad weather so this too was a bonus.
Since it is a private sale of course no warranty but I am not the worrying kind so no problem there. If something happens I will deal with it.
I have been reading a lot about RMS over here and I really have a hard time understanding how some seem to panic/worry so much.
The 996 is a great design and in time it will reach classic car status as being the first water-cooled 911. A "first" or a "last" has always been sought after in the car world so it doesn't seem illogic that this could happen to the 996 as well.
Anyway , I love the Porsche 911 (all of them) , it is a great design and hope that more people will realize that we all share a passion and any 911 is always and foremost a 911 and the type number is in my eyes totally irrelevant. If I would find a great 964 or 993 I would not hesitate to add it to my small collection.
Here are some pictures from when I got the car. When the car comes out of hibernation I will post better ones. I just drove the car of the trailer and put it in my garage next to my other toys. Cleaning and pampering will start in spring.
Hope this is a good introduction to the forum (Dell?)

Nice intro, and welcome. I agree with your comments. I was driving my car this weekend for the first time in about a month, and I really started to fall back in love with it again. I think that the 996 (really the +02) lines, including the headlights and interior, are fundamentally consistent from a design perspective, and fundamentally Porsche looking forward. My car is set up now for me, and with the experience I gained in it at the track, I really cannot imagine living without it. I hope you grow to love yours as much as I love mine. With respect to RMS, your attitude is exactly right. Even if you develop a minor weep, just think of it as your beauty marking its territory
Awesome awesome. Beautiful car, and wonderful car collection (love the HD).
Dell, aren't you smirking like rooster in a henhouse that all the newbies are bit intimated of you now?
I've never seen so many introductions and photos in one week (then again, I'm still a spring chicken myself)....
Since we are making rules for the 996 forum, here is my new rule. Anybody who pisses Dell off has to buy me drinks and cigars
I expect to be "happy" frequently in light of this rule
Speaking of which, Dell, I thought you were going to call me the next time you were in town. Looks like you owe me as well
Yep , yellow belts , together with the big reds and the black paint it kinda says : I am from Germany
(red , yellow, black are the colors of the German flag) , at first I thought it was strange and was thinking of either changing the belts to black or red or go for yellow brakes but after seeing it in real I decided it looks ok. So I will keep it like this. It was a factory order anyway so no mod. by previous owner. He specifically wanted the car with yellow belts.
I just got the car last Friday so I waited to post "official" pictures and an intro until I really got it home.
Have been already to CH with a trailer and coming back empty. Car was not as described so I did not want to take any chances with this one. Now it's safe in my garage hence the intro.
In fact it is it's newer brother the "Street Rod" , same Porsche designed engine but a little sportier ride. I traded my V-Rod for this one last Summer. It's a great bike and I love it.
Everybody , thanks for the welcome and the (very) positive replies.
