My Grandfather was from Susten and was only thinking a couple of weeks ago it would be good to take my daughter and drive there to meet that side of my family. This thread has some stunning pictures and has confirmed I must gotomscott wrote:Not mine unfortunately but hopefully one day!
2007 997.1 Carrera S Just love the thing its about as close the perfect to me as it goes, especially in Guards red and the Turbo wheels. Its just so raw fantastic driving experience you feel everything amazing drivers car. If you like the Z4M these things will blow you away.
Regardless of the scaremongering - look after them and ensure you know the issues spend the £1000 and have lots of fun motoring.

Holy hell, stunning shots - motoring bucket list right heretomscott wrote:Thanks Andy! Fantastic colours! Well there are inherent problems as we all know but a good mid milage 997.1 are bargains atm and as long as all the checks are done and possibly spending the money on piece of mind the car will be set for many miles and smiles. They are certainly only heading in one direction and thats up. Tim is still looking to change it unfortunately and even trading it into a garage has seen a significant increase for a trade in offer year on year its crazy.mr wilks wrote:What a great pic , the 3 different colours couldn't have been chosen any better , love it although the whole thread is rekindling Porsche twitches & urges I haven't had for many years
It was a hell of a day this was the road up

I'm no Tom Scott, but thought I'd give it a go after washing and wax.

Has such gorgeous lines on the latest Boxster & Cayman that it would be hard to take a bad pic , the Agate grey is also a winner for me

A friend has exactly this colour / wheel combination in a Cayman S. It really is a good looking car. Sadly he's considering a four cylinder Cayman as an 'upgrade'.mr wilks wrote:Has such gorgeous lines on the latest Boxster & Cayman that it would be hard to take a bad pic , the Agate grey is also a winner for me
