GitThey never think they aren't? So they always think they are? Wot?
Lovely 911, none whale tail versions just look better (read: awesome) in my opinion.
Congrats for achieving the life ambition of owning such an awesome motor.
You can't get a duck tail on the 991.2 cars due to the airflow for the engine.
Technically its not mine, as I have been loaned one for the week while mines in for some warranty work, 4 new tyres and its 1st MOT and to see how I like the car. However, if I get on well with it my new GTS will be ordered on Thursday in Mexico Blue. I'm personally not a fan of the wheels or the colour.
I'll get some better pictures tomorrow of it.
Naa, sold it in November, missing it
Always something else to get. However, for all that the little Alto was, both the GF and I were sad when it went.

Went from 80 profile to 70 on the front to bring it down a little. The front tyres were previously ever so slightly taller than the rears - I only replaced the rear tyres at first after I had the rear wheels banded. Made her look a little front high in my opinion. Better now.
@Marvin Shame to see it go.
What is it with people moving from V8 E39's to little Lotus'?
If you get one, at least make it a 111R or Exige for maximum BWAAAAAH
I looked at Elises and VX220s before I bought the E39. It's a daily car so decided that it needed to be the more comfortable, practical option. Now I won't need to commute daily by car much longer I could finally buy the car I've wanted since I played Gran Turismo 4 (yeah - most people went for Skylines, I had an Elise). Plus I've wanted to do track days and hopefully sprints and the like for a while, not a role the M5 fits too well. As for the model, I haven't fully decided on an S2, but I think I prefer the overall S2 package. It'll be a K series either way and either a standard one or maybe a 111S or 135R - I can't afford much more than that. However, they're very tunable, which is just one aspect I really like, so I can always add more power later. Even a stock Elise is pretty quick as it weighs 800kg.
