After two plus years of being without a 911, today I returned to the World of ownership. Following months of searching, I finally took delivery of a 997 Gen 2, C2S. It was totally worth the wait!
I bought the car from Mark Pearce, of Stirlings. I simply cannot say enough positive words about Mark. His attention to detail and focus on customer service is second to none. I've been speaking with him every day for the last few weeks, and even made him lose his Face Time virginity, making for a comical story (one for another other time)! A gentleman and a scholar, he was an absolute pleasure to do business with, and I would thoroughly recommend speaking to him if you haven't already. Mark - Thank You once again for all your efforts, it is sincerely appreciated.
The car was presented immaculately, absolutely perfect. I forgot how much I missed that silhouette, and the stance and poise of the 911. I quickly remembered how much i love how low the seats are, and that infamous sound of the all important THUD when the door closes, the sound of pure quality German reassurance. I fired up the Six, and WOW - the hairs on my arm stood up making my blood cold!
I'll spend the weekend (and the years ahead!) to get better acquainted with the car. The thrill of ownership is slowly making it's way back, even the Wife loves it, though is a little scared to drive it at the moment.
Buying a second Porsche was a firm reminder that us 911 owners should remember how lucky and fortunate we are; we should never take such life marvels for granted.
Here are some photographs to soak up...enjoy!
