Introducing my 911

[dagriff]

Nice, and you have the best roads to play with it!

[3.2 CAB]

SWEEEEETTT!!!! Really nice looking. I believe the paint code would be #451 and the seats could be the black/white pinstripe #999 551 039 40.

Congrats!!!! 79 SC rule! You got the turbo tail too. Now go get it dirty.

Always makes us chortle heartily to hear Americans complaining bitterly about gas @ $3.40 US per gallon.

Premium gas (for my 930) is about 1.05 GBP per litre in the UK. There's roughly four of those to a US gallon (because you guys are still using weights and measures from the Jacobian era), so, given the current rate of exchange that's $8.40 US dollars per (US) gallon. Been somewhere around that price for years and years.

To put that in perspective, I'll fill the tank at 1/4 full and put 60 GBP ($120 US) of gas in it.

Given how "car-friendly" the Irish government appear to be, I'd be surprised if gas was cheaper there.

Yes Unimog they were stock for 79.

€1.10 per litre on average at the moment so it cost me €80euro to fill the tank. so we are almost 30p a litre cheaper than uk prices

yow...that is $160 here. Could happen someday I suppose.

It appears that Pelican shows an updated part number for that fabric: TPB000000007BN. Hopefully this will possibly be a good start on finding the fabric.

[MT930]

Verrrrrrry Nice ! Finish is in great shape.

[roodog911]

Your SC is gorgeous, I can't say that I've ever seen a Mocha Black Porsche before - very striking and the finish is amazing !

You must be one heck of a driver if you can auto-cross and drink coffee at the same time!

Cheers,

Beautiful ride!! Is this your 1st Porsche, if so then get ready for some of the most enjoyable times to be had.

[Kroggers]

Welcome, the 911SC is the best car ever

[3.2 CAB]

Kroggers, NICEEEE Some cars would not look right with those stripes, but yours is a natural for them!!

[joe payne]

Congrats! Great year. Mines only one year older.

[SLO-BOB]

She's a beauty. Love that color. Welcome to the madness!

PS - I would consider all vinyl or leather oem type seat covers for both seats. It will really transform the interior, giving you that new car feel.

Cheers Bob thats a great suggestion and I think its the way to go as I will never be able to get the original fabric clean enough.

Yes Its my first Porsche and after sixteen years of wanting one I am so delighted I own it. However I drive about 800 miles a week in my VW passat and want to drive the porsche for every one of those miles.
