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.

It was also useful to ask them to bring it over to my office for the test drive- it meant I could to a very objective comparison over roads I knew well, including a really awful surface bit which would show up any rattles or clonks- it passed with flying colours.
Leading evidence: 'Test drive- it meant i could' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Test drive- it meant i could' (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.

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.

Well, another recruit for the Dark Side...
I am now the proud nearly-owner of a 996 C4S Coupe, 2002, 28k miles, lapis blue with graphite grey hide, sports seats and Bose, 1 yr warranty and a set of new boots from Nick Whale sportscars up in the Midlands.
It will of course be booked in for a PSE in very short order. I also intend to add some bits and bobs inside, e.g. alu or maybe carbon handbrake and gearknob.
Hopefully collecting monday/tuesday next week.
I will be px-ing my Alpina B3S, and selling the 993 Targa separately later this week(which I will sadly miss)
The C4S will be my daily driver/fun car, racking up 15-20k miles a year so it should be an adventure!

Congrats Robert, look forward to seeing some pics. I'm sure you'll be very happy, they are gorgeous - for a 996 :wink:

Yo do not mess around Robert!
congrats on a great car, i can think of no better daily driver, she will not miss a beat and keep a massive grin on your face to boot.

Boo Hiss !!! How could you do such a thing - one less beardy/real aler/sandal wearing/horse brasser !
well done though, i s'pose.......... :wink:

Good move...
Sounds nice - would be one of my preferred choices of colour scheme too. I loved my 993, but the 996 is so much better as a daily driver.

Just had a look at the pics- very nice. I drive past that showroom quite a bit and he always seems to have some nice stock.

Thanks for the comments- it was certainly interesting driving this one with no PSE as it shows what a fabulous system it is.
It was also useful to ask them to bring it over to my office for the test drive- it meant I could to a very objective comparison over roads I knew well, including a really awful surface bit which would show up any rattles or clonks- it passed with flying colours.
It is with very mixed feelings that I part with the Targa though, love the 993s, great cars and worthy of all the hype. The interior of the Targa is very special too.
I do have some reservations about the wisdom of getting a dark blue car when I do so many miles, but it does look v nice, and I suppose I could get it armourfended or whatever.
Here is a link to some pics of the C4S... might work

I've got a dark blue car and haven't had too many problems with the miles (22K) I've put on it. Stone chips seem to show on any colour, I found my red car was the worst for showing them.
