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.

Toms photography isn't helping much is it Marlon?

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.

It was a hell of a day this was the road up

I was lucky enough to get the drive too which Tim certainly wasn't impressed with :D

Rob I managed to edit all the images in the end but haven't posted them yet and it is on my list of things to do. :thumbsup:

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
Great pic even with door open :oops:

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'.
