apologies for starting a new thread....... Looking forward to going to a meet or two. Anyway. Good evening Gents, and ladies of course ..... new member here up in sunny Yorkshire living not far from York. Tbh , I was looking for a fun second car to complete my mid life crisis that I’ve been having for most of my life and came across a Porsche in a local Garage. Never really been a Porsche guy but i looked round it and thought "nice” then toddled of Home. But, the following day I still had this bloody car niggling away in my head , i thought sod it , I’ll call and make an offer , the car had sold just after leaving the garage. After that I stated looking, it got well under my skin ! Anyway , by chance after getting it out to contacts and people in those circles a good pal who’s in the game knew of a car that may suit. Cutting it short , I bought a 2004 966 C4S without seeing it in the flesh and never even driving one, the Missis thought " he’s deffo lost it” this time. Well , call it a hunsh or gut feel , but with a FSH and low mileage, I took the plunge...... all i will add to that is I absolutely love it and the garage which was full of crap for the last 18 years is now pristine and housing my new love in my live ! Great to be be a member and totally get what you guys see. ih

Welcome, good choice...... Sounds more like an epiphany than a mid life crisis to me [ ]
Lol.... cheers its weird tbh , I’m facinated with it. I’m looking forward to a meet so I can start to learn more about the different models and the 966 in particular , perhaps the wrong time a year but would still be good to get to know about em .... ih
At least I saw my car and drove it before buying but bought it as a trade sale, low mileage full service history and a 111 point check at an OPC!! Enjoy the car they a brilliant![8D]
Hi Ian A very warm welcome to to the club and 996 ownership. I'm sure you will get a good welcome at your local region, C4s are great cars and excellent value at the monent. Enjoy Kind regards Andy
Evening Andy, im very intrested in learning about the 966 cars, I would have gone to the classic car show tbh but got ropped into a long weekend in Vegas instead. Looking forward to a meet and seeing and meeting other owners. Ian.
That must have been a hard decision[ ][ ][ ]
Lol. Just got in , n trust me the way I’m feeling right now is ... has the car show finished!
Am seriously considering a 996 Turbo Tip Coupe MY2001, as the engines are supposed to be bulletproof and I want a 4wd car to get me back and forth to the station. Anyone have one and have any tips on what to look out for when buying? I will only buy from a reputable independent with warranty.
Welcome to 996 membership who started the thread. I am sure one was for sale on the PCGB website 996T tip. Northway's had 3 turbo's last time I checked. As you say bulletproof engine providing it's looked after properly. I believe common problem are the servo's failing on the rear spoiler. Also know a R19 member had issues with manual gearbox on 2/3rd synchromesh
