As some have guessed, my 993 4S went off to 911 Virgin a little while back to be sold. It is now with its new owner who I hope, and am sure, will be very pleased.
In some respects it was a terrible shame to sell the car. I had owned it for 11 of the 18 years since it was built, and at some points imagined I would keep it forever.
On the other hand, this was the third year in a row that I took it to be serviced, realising it had pretty much not been used since the previous year's service. The car lived in the City of London, which is no place to drive it, and my weekends consist of either a 200 mile round trip to the Cotswolds, or a 150 mile round trip, plus ferry, to the Isle of Wight, neither of which really suited the car.
As such, I felt it really was time someone else got to enjoy it and hopefully use it a little more. One day I will not be living in central London, and I will have a heated garage, and I will have days off - and then I am sure I will have another 993. Until that day, the search for something fun, but motorway-mile friendly, is underway.
Thank you for the countless bits of advice, fun and friends on here and I shall continue to poke my nose in - 993 knowledge doesn't leave you!
