It amusing looking at the Porsche options list - some of those ticks are standard on a low spec Fiesta.
A great car though !!
Singer Porsche 911 “Virginia”
This car is gorgeous, Love their builds but very pricey.
From the article:
The latest modernized and reinterpreted classic Porsche 911 to come out of Singer Vehicle Design’s workshops is a 1990 911 Carrera 2 (964 series), affectionately named Virginia. This will be the first Singer Porsche 911 customer car to be showcased at a major Concours event.

Looks nice but I would add heated seats, Two-zone automatic climate control, Storage compartment lid in Alcantara with Porsche Crest.
Other than that thats a really epic spec. Is its public how many are now due into the uk? Will there still be going over retail?
I didn't see your original comment but I'm not sure it's available until 2016 which means I'd have to think about it.
So then......**** load more GT4's on there way to the UK
Now....R8 V10 or GT4....decisions decisions
Easy choice! It's a GT4 as its a true drivers car.
However, I must add I've personally never liked the R8 as I can't put my finger on it as its technically good but I just can't get excited about them.

The spec is spot on apart from the colour, I am just not feeling the red on the GT4.

That black one looks fantastic IMO
Black is lovely but you need to PCCB's to really set the car off. IMO
I finally bought a car at the weekend - after much research and searching I went for this Gen 2 997 C2S PDK:
The spec is:
Sport Chrono
Sports Exhaust
PASM
Sport Design Steering Wheel
Climate Control
Cruise Control
Universal Audio Interface
Rear Parking Sensors
Navigation
Bluetooth Phone
Heated Seats
BOSE
The Porsche 111 point inspection was well worth the £200 as it needed new rear shocks, new cooling pipes and new rear tyres (damaged sidewall and a slow puncture). Porsche estimated £3500 for all that which the dealer sorted for me using Porsche parts at no cost. It is all ready to get a Porsche warranty on it in 90 days now hopefully.
Next step is booking myself in for a CAT driver training day so I can have fun while driving it safely - it is a bit of an upgrade from my 318d!

Do like that, very clean looking example.
If you don't mind me asking what kind of money did it cost you out of interest? Of course I understand if you'd rather not say.
As I've not driven a first generation 997.2 only the later 2010+ models, does the PDK on yours have Sports Plus or does it give a positive kick on up-changes at full throttle?

It has 62000 miles and cost me £37000.
It does have the sport plus button, the centre console look like this:

Very nice and a good price.
Sports Plus on the 2010+ models means it works just like a manual, it will bounce of the limiter if you don't change gear and when you do pull up a gear if you full throttle it should feel like a positive kick/surge forwards, does it?
