My Pepper
She was a tradein at the Porsche dealership -PO bought a 997...
It's an '06 MCS with factory JCW kit. He also improved it with a lot of M7 stuff - USS and strut tower, H-tech rear sway.
So, it's fully loaded, I don't plan to mod it anymore :-).
I ditched the stock wheels and run-flats. My a** is loving the improvement. New shoes are OZ's in matt grayish silver
It's still the honeymoon, but I'm loving the drive more each day!

I think he meant that the previous owner traded the Mini in for a 997, not the other way around.

I'm finding that with the JCW, it's at least as entertaining as my 996 was. Also, since it's more stealth, it's getting a daily workout whereas the 996, and esp. my 997S, were being driven only once per week.
Yeah, it's a downgrade in car in lots of ways, but it doesn't bother me one bit. I have other expenses to deal with (kid going to college) and the Porsche hobby was needing to be deemphasized. I still got to keep the driving fun with this car.

Wyatt, thanks for the compliment! I wasn't sure how the angular wheels would look on a rounded car, but it isn't a bad match.

DZY: Hehe yeah, it snowed for like half a day here during the winter so it hasn't been a real need to have them on. I still cannot understand people who buy the tires with small nails in them, they really ruin the roads and I get all this s#it on my windscreen and all over the car. Takes much more time to clean the car...

Finally my account has been activated! I'm the guy Bronto's been talking about. Getting OZ Record 18x7 ET38. Hope they fit even after the car's been lowered. It was because of your car I decided to get them
