Just go and drive a 996tt, that's what made up my mind.
When I was 25, yep I could go with a car nearly 30 years old and I've loved every minute in a variety of 911's. I love the cars so much I could see no reason to molly coddle them, they were built to drive and I did every day.
Now the knees are more creaky and I look forward to something more comfortable my 2004 996tt is the best Porsche bargain there is. An awesome car its quick, it goes round corners, I sneak looks at it coz its a lovely car (pimped with guards red wheels and 997 RS chequer side graphics), the aircon works and the turbo roar as you get rammed back into your seat is something every kid should enjoy.
