Hi there! Having trod the boards over on the PCGB forum for some time I'm now giving this forum a go to see if any advice, etc differs from there. Meanwhile I'm (hopefully) in the transition between 996 and 997! Despite being a brand new member (This is my first post) 911UK have allowed me to advertise the car here: http://www.911uk.com/ads_item.php?id=573
Still a bit unsure whether to change or not as I've worked so hard on my car and I know (God willing!) exactly where I am with it. The car is simply in pristine condition and just so great to drive (Especially with the 10mm lowered suspension (not too much, not too little) she corners like she's on rails. Reading this does make me wonder why I'm even considering taking on a used (private sale) car which I'm going to know nothing about...? :?:
I know that everyone and his wife are going to tell me that the 997 is.... "a far better car in every way" but I'm just a bit scared of it turning out to have clay feet? (I've recently heard that the idler shaft can be prone to breaking!!!).
On the complete opposite end of the scale, having only covered 1,100 miles in my 996 in the last year, I have also wondered about "Going Classic"?
Anyway, nice to be here and I'll hopefully speak to some of you in due course.
Adrian.
