Pretty much everything of the common stuff, but uncommon to find it all on one car.
Sports plus down the gears popping and banging never gets old! It makes a beautiful noise hardly moving lol.

Picked it up today. Red one had some paint issues so bought this black one. Has a few options the other didnt have which was nice. Its fast and loud. love it.
Lovely car, but the red one would have been faster
Sounds like a great spec!
Nice spec, I would not have one without the 18 ways.
Post here before you sell it, I would be interested.
Do you mind if I ask how much you paid?
yeah the 18 ways make a big difference. It was a must have tbh. Having scoured the ads, you wouldnt believe how many are out there without the GTS interior pack, or GTS interior pack, where they have deleted the alcantara. Crazy. It makes the car. I even found one without centrelocks!
Paid 84k for it. Going rate seems to be 83-93 for the .1's. Be interesting what happens to values as the .2 GTS get older. Hoping the last of the NA's keep a little cachet. The only thing id upgrade it to would be a GT3 touring one day perhaps. The 992 is going to be bigger and more of a GT id expect as per every gen.
Interesting fact of the day...... if the car is specified with the sunroof, the spoiler is calibrated to extend a little higher when the sunroof is open. Porsche engineers eh.

I did like the red one tbh, although this one has PDLS+, Bose, RR Cam, Light pack, power steer plus and sunroof which the other didnt. The other one looked like it had been rallied too! Paint back to metal behind the front wheels, and the rear quarters were peppered with chips and broken lacquer. Not good!
You shorted the property market yet a mass produced, non-GT, modern 911 is going to hold 90% if its value forever? I think not
Very lovely GTS mike, get some more pictures up.
haha I did, but the 911.1 GTS's and have been around the same price point for 2 years now and the 997.2 GTS are firm at 60k
I like this one but with a baby on the way Im now a cayenne driver lol

Any tips for OPC around my way (Essex ish)?
Now that the GT3 is run in, I was going to book it for an inspection and geometry... called Hatfield as they're my closest, only to be told the first booking they have available is June! 6 week wait... I thought she was joking at first, couldn't believe it.
If I want a loan car, then it's an 8 week wait.
I thought a 2-3 week wait was long enough when I was getting work done on the Boxster.
Are Hatfield worth the wait? Any experience with Cambridge, East London, Reading or Silverstone? Those are the closest to me.
I'm also going to reach out to Nottingham where I got the car from, to see what they can do... 8 weeks is insane... hire more frikkin staff ffs!

I'd personally avoid Colchester, as I've found them to be completely incompetent and I hear Cambridge can also be hit and miss. However, Cambridge, Colchester and East London are all part of the Lancaster Group.

Center Gravity are definitely worth the drive. Only thing is they get very booked up too because everyone is taking their cars out of hibernation at this time of year.

Thanks for the tip, I'll get in touch with both of them.
Still surprised at the 2 month wait... so crazy.
