So I walked into the Porsche dealership...
...which happened to be attached to the Audi dealership I had arranged to visit one fateful morning last week. I wanted a new RS5, had done my research and worked the finance math out on the back of a cigarette packet. I was ready to become an Audi man.
So there I was kicking some dust around the parking lot looking at, yes, you guessed it, the 991 pen. I wasn't immediately smitten but there was a twinkle. Salesmen beelines for his potential prey and I'm asked "do I want to take it out for a drive?" and I break like a wet kitkat and spend 15 minutes grinning from ear to ear. Spellbound.
Anyways, long story short I ended up buying one after testing the C4S, I went for a slightly cheaper but no less STUNNING C2S in GT Silver. Its got 2k on the clock - I can forgive that - as still smells like a 6th ladies dorm at 3am. Like SUCCESS. I did back and forth over a new one in Platinum C4 but I ended up going for GT. Plat is very very appealing but I couldn't get over the gold I saw in it on some days. Each man to their own though. Its still a mega colour and the one of two front runners for me.
So I pick it up on Tuesday from the dealer. I literally cannot wait. I feel like I'm joining a very special club. Thought Id drop all you 991 owners a line. Its so worth it gentleman. I can list the options on the car is anyone is interested and I'll post some pro-shots once I get my grubby mits on the thing in a few days.
Not a great shot attached - but you get the picture.
Cheers.

Looks like is was extruded from an aluminum billet- absolutely beautiful with that perfect Sport PASM stance.
Re joining a special club: it will tell you, "you have been chosen" every time you drive it!

The dealer had is for a few weeks - so I can, without question, guarantee its been gunned and broken in. Oh well, german engineering is built to stand up to that kind of thing. Glad I got a 5 year warranty. Chortle.
