So...

I have been looking for a while (see my previous post) and eventually found and purchased my first Porsche a 997.1. I found it through this forum and from a fellow member here in Northern Ireland.

2005 Carrera S, 69k miles Manual, Midnight Blue (absolutely loving the colour), 19" Lobster Claws with 15mm spacers to the rear, slate grey interior with comfort heated seats oh and the all important Hartech rebuild. No mods other than a bluetooth kit.

Through the advice of this forum and the wonderful helping hand of DeMort I had a PPI carried out (not as straight forward a process as I had imagined) including a bore scope. The car came back with a clean bill of health other than for a few minor items which I'll get to over the winter months (replacing cracked coil packs, waxoiling brake and coolant pipes).

In the next while I plan booking the car in for a minor paint correction and full ceramic coat to maintain all the good work the previous owners have put in!

Anyway, below are a few photos of my new pride and joy! My first purchase for the car has been two toddler car seats so that I can enjoy the 911 with my 2 boys!
