So long for now but not goodbye...

As some of you know I recently sold my 996TT. Well... the new owner picked it up this weekend and I must say it was bitter sweet seeing her go. I have owned my 996TT for just about 7 years. It has been absolutly one of my favorite cars I have ever driven. I've driven CGT's, F430's, GT3's...etc... etc... This 996 Beats out just about everyone sans the Carrera GT in terms of overall driving experience.

Even though I'd like to mention everyone on this forum who have helped me along the way in terms of Advice, Work, and most of all friendship. To name everyone I have met through this website and forum would take pages of posts but most of all I think I would forget to mention someone. You guys know who you are... THANKS!

What's next??? Dunno... I still have my 640ish HP GT28RS S4. It may hold me over for the season.. but who knows.... Been window shopping for a couple of cars so we will see where that leads.....

I will still be active on this forum and website. Just won't have my baby anymore. As the saying goes... onward and upward!

Here are some parting shots I took before the car was picked up...

Alan....I look forward to owning her...you clearly take good care of your cars, and I am having a blast-I too sold my baby, a heavily modded RS6 this weekend and that was bittersweet.
Buy my TT is such a complete sports car, and such a better driving experience then the RS6.
Hopefully i can stay off the more power train for a while, ....she is fast enough!

Congrats for the sale, you are lucky! I am trying to sell my car for some time now and nothing yet

I know that is hard to let go to such a beauty but... something else will come.

Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.


We should start a pool on how long it will be before your next Porsche acquisition. I say six months.

Enjoy the car bro! I hope you have as much if not more pleasure driving her as I did all these years!
You know where to find me if you need anything!
