Hello,
I'm new to Porsche but have been a fan since I was a kid. My 'real world' dream car is a GT3 (obviously) but unfortunately my bank balance doesn't agree. So last week I picked up, to me, the next best thing: a 2001 Carrera 2 with factory fitted Aerokit. Everything is original apart from the Dansk exhaust.
I really wanted an Aerokit car and was lucky to have found one with GT3 alloys and M030 sport chassis. With the optional sport seats the car is pretty much my ideal specs except for 'sunroof delete' and LSD, but as you all know those options are rare.
I have not driven it much yet thanks to bad weather so I'm looking forward to drive it properly. Anyway a few pictures:
My other car is a Honda Integra DC2. It's a bit rusty and it's pink but it's mechanically sound, dependable and fun to drive. It's a superb driver's car and I love it.
:bye:
