Wow.... you got me motivated on this one. I got my 2002 996TT only with 17K milage last year, drove 4K since then. I love the thrill of driving the car. I am going to drive on a daily basis from now-on-wards.

Thanks!

It's business as usual for the turbos, they just run cooler. It stayed out overnight, I have an Eberspächer petrol heater, so engine was well above 0C when starting, no problems with that but the gearbox is rather stiff for first few miles. And it was today's morning temperature.

Would love to get to know the crowd there and get some insight into
SoCal!
