Thanks Jamie for the warm welcome

Currently own a M6 but have started to have sleepness nights over what I am taking delivery of June this year, a 997 tt. Only had to wait 14 moinths for it.

When I can find the final spec that i have gone with I publish it on here, but basic spec is GT Silver with black leather. Was going for the factory collection but due to circumstances now unable to do it, so will just have to collect from OPC.

Have been scouring the forum anonamoulsy reading with interest and looking forward to owning my first Proper car. :D

Nice car Mark!

My brother in law test drove one on the day that I collected the C2S - a sort of sweetener for giving me a lift to Nottingham.

I'm not sure if we have many 997 tt owners here??

I notice on yours you had the "new car detail" by elite detialing prior to taking delivery of your car, makes the car look stunning even in the photos. Couple of questions

would you reccomend it? whats the process for washing/ polishing after this?

Personally I would recommend it - the car looked awesome on collection day and I am informed that it will look better than new on subsequent washes. The Zymol Royale wax is well publicised. Most dealers offer Zymol or other treatment for new cars but the Zymol they use is a much cheaper wax than Royale but still ask the same price as Elite Detailing. Many people in the showroom commented that it was the cleanest car there.

Not had a new car done by Elite, but the work done on my 12-yr old 993 was truly stunning 8)

Mark,

I don't think adaptive sports seats generally offer value for money on non-Turbo models but it's a grand less to upgrade on the Turbo so fair do's however no heated seats??

I was driving back late last night and decided on windows open experience for last half an hour through local towns and heater on + heated seats on full - great feeling, nice and warm with full force of the exhaust + chill of the night air!

Other than that, nice spec!

That sounds like it should have been one of those Phil Collins "Something in the air tonight" moments a la Miami Vice :wink:

Welcome MarkM, nice choice of an awsome car for a first Porsche.
