All, been lurking for years and learning lots, including one summer holiday much to my wife's annoyance when I read every post on every thread on the site!
Finally realised my ambition at the grand old age of 49 to own a 911, a kind colleague lent me hers last summer for a fortnight, she needed a car with a bigger boot and I wanted to try the 911 so she took my Lexus ISF and I borrowed her 2011 S cabriolet, the weather was kind and the whole family loved the car.
Fast forward 5 months and after much searching finally got my hands on a black S PDK cab, picked her up yesterday on her 7th birthday, 38000 miles on the clock, always and still under Porsche warranty and with a few key extras I was after (PSE/sports chrono/PASM).
Looked great yesterday when I picked her up freshly valeted then not so good after a 120 mile drive home to Nottinghamshire from Chester, black was not my first choice and have never owned a black car before but the spec, condition, history and price was ultimately more important than the colour. In my eyes they all look good to me and cleaning it will be fun too. So just wanted to say thank you because all your posts really helped me get to grips with what 911 ownership might look like. When I get it clean again will post some pictures.
