Great reading the awesome trip from Cali to Texas... Hope ya enjoying her! Should be getting something within 2 weeks. A small chance itll be a 997 TT... Enjoy!

 

Thanks Garvin. The car is running very well. You took amazing care of it! Send pics as soon as you find your new mistress. I'm planning to visit your freinds restaurant in the next few weeks. Talk soon.

 

Didn't see this thread earlier... Congrats Robert! I felt your excitement just reading this thread.

 

Thank you. I truly enjoy driving her. I must admit that I'm becoming paranoid of other drivers though. So many rush up behind and stop painfully close. Others seem compelled to pass and pull in front only to slow down. Still some strive for the darwin award. I had lunch with BlackHorseTurbo a couple weeks backs. We parked in spots as isolated as North Korea, far away from the diner and surrounded by 50 empty spots. Some jackass parked between us!

 

Fortunately in Austin this rarely happens. Most people seem pretty oblivious to nice cars here.

 

The time has come for me and the 996TT to part ways. After nearly 30 months of glorious fun, another owner has moved her further east and is now a Florida car. The new owner will post pics here (Gary).

Over the life of my ownership, the car went from a tune and exhaust to a full bolton setup (turbos, bigger exhaust, intake, meth, EBC, MS109, etc.). She started out as fast, but became far faster. Thanks to *** Garage (4080), Drivers Source and Akram Haus for making this happen:

Had some great times with you and the car Robert. Not going to be the same without you in HTown.

 

Thanks, Todd. It's definitely been a great trip! I'll miss the COT and HHH for sure.��

 

Always enjoyed following your posts and build. Sounds like it went to a good owner.

Are you done for a bit or starting on another platform?

 

Thank you. I'm torn between going old school or a 997TT. I'm leaning toward the 997TT for drivability and pure power. BHT and CRR keep tempting me with cars around the country. We'll see.

I believe the new owner is addicted to the power already. He and his wife drove it home in Florida from Houston. I can't wait to read about the trip. I suspect that may very well be the last time he puts 93 in!
