Don't get a real early one, I've driven a few and apart from handling quite well they were all a bit pants..... (one was one of the "tiptronic" type.... that was GOD AWFUL!!)

carpetstu Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Didn't see this one coming Mate Are you sure Stu Yes mate, It's been in the thoughts for a while mate but I have resisted! Time to explore other options Ginge ... It's been a pleasure to work on the car and get it to the current state and with a little more work on the tuning it will be one of the best on the road IMHO but it's time for me to let someone else have sone fun with her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTR2Turbo Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 the general rule is that if you are not sure if it is going backwards or forwards it's a Boxter, if it makes a horrid rattly farty noise it is an air cooled 911, a harsh raspy noise and dripping oil then a later water cooled 911, if pig ugly a cayenne, a nice v8 noise a 928, a wooden gear stick ...
