Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Not a single squeek or rattle to be heard when the engine is running (except for my other half sitting next to me) but a roar when you hit 3'500-4'000 rpm which is the sweetest sound I have ever heard (bar the air cooled engine sounds of course).
Leading evidence: 'Run (except' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run (except' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

As promised, here are some photos of my 996 C4S. The rear end is just magnificent in every aspect and this goes for every single 911 out there...
And one from the front:
Now the photos don't make the car justice tbh, as the paint job is as fresh as when it came out from the Stuttgart factory (which btw is less than 380 km (240 miles) from where I live). I will, when the weather turns to the better and I get to pull out my proper camera stuff out, post proper photos of the car.
Funny thing is that I still turn my head every single time I see a 911 pass me by... Some things just never changes
Beautiful...but then I am a bit biased =)
Smoked indicators looks great on this color car. Will have to add those to the list.
Whats your interior color?
Thanks...
Funny thing is that after I saw the photo myself on my Mac, I first then realized how wide the rear tires actually are. I knew the dimensions and all on paper as I had done my homework prior to purschasing but never knew what to expect in real life. Scared me a little to be honest
Black leather all around and is as new as (again) when it left the factory in Germany back in 2002 without any fading in colours. Even smells of new leather.
I will post some interior photos as well when daylight allows for it
As I probably said before, the car is in tip top condition. One of the service books shows that the owner before me (owner number 2) had the car from 2007 to end of 2012 and had only driven 20'000 km during this period (12'500 miles). Not a single squeek or rattle to be heard when the engine is running (except for my other half sitting next to me) but a roar when you hit 3'500-4'000 rpm which is the sweetest sound I have ever heard (bar the air cooled engine sounds of course).
It does sound as a cliche, but the second I saw the car I knew this was the one. I remember it as being much smaller than I had anticipated and tight on space as well, but when I sat in it for the very first time and turned the key to fire it up I just knew this was it...
Hahaha... I'm going all soft when I talk, think and write about it...
Interesting that the tow hole cover is to the upper right of the licence plate, as opposed to ours, which is behind the plate, which makes very little sense at all. Much more practical them Europeans!
Same here... And as said earlier, I still turn my head when I see a 911 even when I'm sitting in my own.
I actually think the esthetics are a little lost with the US type bumper as it somehow looks out of place BUT, at the end of the day it's still a 911
I'm just glad we don't have them in Europe.
Could be a country to country requirement. Never thought of the tow hole tbh, and hadn't actually noticed it before you brought it to my attention
Am I still blinded of the overall exterior design that I don't see these little things? Don't forget this is my first ever car (and yes I was born in the early 70's
)
Merci bien JM. Oui la voiture est tr�s agr�able
Never throught of this. Nothing on the car is modified but all original and I tend to keep it that way. Maybe at a later stage to get some upgrade to the PCM or at least so I can plug in my iPod through an AUX or something... Even thought of one of those Cassette - Minijack connectors that came out in the early 2000's.
