New (to me) Turbo

I'm very much enjoying my new to me 2012 997 Turbo, and I thought I would share a couple of pics.

Didn't think about the "P" code when I got my license plate.... talk about RTA ... I'm curious about those decal front license plates ... anybody know if those would fit the front license plate holder .. minus the license plate frame ...


OP, where in Dubay was the first pic taken? very nice btw.

Thanks everyone!

The P code on the plate was dumb luck on my part. It's just how the plate arrived.

The top picture was taken in Liwa Oasis (an area on the Saudi border of Abu Dhabi). It's a stunning place.

It's fairly well optioned. PDK, SC, sports steering wheel with paddles, black leather interior with deviated red stitching, leather seat backs, red gauge faces, red painted trim around the shifter console, red seat belts, heated/ventilated 18 way seats, auto dimming mirrors. Coming from an 06 Cayman S the standard equipment list on a turbo is pretty impressive to me as well.

I really liked the black interior with red accents, a nice change from the red interior that is common around here. The mileage is a bit high for a 2 year old car but it turned out that the original owner is a friend of a friend and so I know that it was well maintained.

mcurtisal is infamous around these parts
Congrats on a fantastic car. Post some interior pics please. I'm interested in changing the PDK cover on mine to either painted or leather. I have the black/gray two tone interior and it's a bit sterile.
