The old beater washed & waxed for Classics @ the Castle

She looks gorgeous MattyR, and one of my favourite 993 colours too :mrgreen:

Thanks gents your comments are very kind. In truth she's a 156k lady of particular qualities. Very presentable and waxes up nicely. I think Aventura is a very photogenic colour and suits the 993 body style particularly well.

Anyways, take a gander at the pics attached. There were some stunners attending Classics at the Castle this year and as a result I now have a hankering for a 356b coupe. Too expensive though but hopefully one day aye..

What struck me about the event, as it was my first time visiting, was that it was well organised and low key. Just a wander around with a beer and have peruse. Such a lovely afternoon.

Looking sharp! 8) Well done on not selling up, too! :)

Despite mine being a C4 and have relatively new clear corners, your pic does a great job in persuading me to get a set of ambers - compliments the Aventura paint very well.

Weather WILL hold for tomorrow. Looks a bit moody but that's Aventura's best mate.

...and if it doesn't you can show us how well those Autogym products promote water beading :D.

I too like the clears and I have considered updating. But the ambers do have a certain charm. I think I prefer ambers on darker colours with lighter shades being more complimented by clears.

No rain I am happy to report but the wet stuff is forecast tomorrow and I am using the car to nip into London. So that recent application of wet wax should work it's magic.

On the selling front, it was tricky but selling has been put on the back burner indefinitely. I feel that I have some unfinished business with the car and want to complete that list of jobs we all have before offering her up for sale again. I have also been using the car considerably more over the last few weeks and enjoying it hugely. A trip to the shops, the odd commute into London, a 300 mile round trip to Cheltenham. Sterling.

These cars are so capable and imbue with confidence. I was speaking with a '71 911 owener today. He sold his 993 C4S around six months ago and misses it hugely. His main gripe was that he no longer has a classic 911 whereby he can cruise along at speed in relative comfort and silence (well not silence but the sound is atleast softer). He also doesn't like sticking his two children in the back due to spacial constrictions and the safety side of things bothers him (I guess crumple zones, ABS and the like).
