No more BMW for me, still german though

[318Touring 40]

Just signed the paperwork for this, however will still have wife's 318 Compact.

It's a 2003 996 Carrera 4 cabriolet with hard-top, fully loaded, ex-UK / Japan, black on black. Will do inspection next week, with a view of picking it up next weekend.

Will post some more pics when I actually got it. This is just a teaser.

Beautiful mate, just in time for summer.

Enjoy.

[Tristan 338]

Very nice! Loooove Porsche

[deeveus 81]

Bloody nice, is it a manual or tiptronic? Is it the standard 4 or the 4s ? Must admit, after owning the Boxster, I've always wanted a 996.

Enjoy!

Awesome!! I was never a real fan of Porsche cabs (particularly Boxters) until my parents neighbour bought one of these a few years ago. looks really good with the roof up or down!

[318Touring 40]

Thanks.

It's tiptronic, which the sales guy showed how to use properly, scared the s*%t out of me as we were going very fast round the Basin Reserve. It's a C4.

cliff, been looking for vert, since cabriolet Porsches have more headroom at the back compared to coupe, and I need to transport 3 people. Also there are less of 911 cabs on the road, making this one more special.

I'll post more stuff when I actually get my dirty little hands on the car, which is this Saturday.

top down + foot flat = Big Happy Smiley Face.

Would love to hear that going through the silverdale/walkworth tunnel at full tit.

[318Touring 40]

Johno: Dang! Those alloys are nice! I'll keep that in mind, those fit the car really well!!!

Chris: Went through Mt Vic tunnel, but it was busy so couldn't really hear anything. Would have to do it at early morning, maybe Sunday morning before those SUVs filling up the road again.

damn that's a nice looking vehicle

for ultimate tunnel sound, go through The Terrace tunnel at like 3am when there's no traffic

Not trying to stop you from your sale Johno, But i like the wheels on that 996

That car looks pimp daddy

[318Touring 40]

The Tce, good idea. I assumed as it's much bigger then the sound won't be contained as in a smaller one like Mt Vic. But it's a 80k zone, I can slow down to 20k at the start of the tunnel then let her rip!!!!

That's not a driving offence, is it? As long as I keep it 80 and no wheel spin (4-wheel drive + PASM so it's unlikely).

Depends who sees you. The very open to interpretation boy racer laws specifically prohibit "unnecessary exhibitions of acceleration".

I think you mean PSM (stability/traction control). PASM is active suspension.

Dang! The law is always open to interpretation!

Oops, one letter too many. You're right, it's PSM.

[M5V8 337]

Mt Vic just has too much traffic these days but get it at the right time and the acoustics are MUCH better.

But for safety's sake Terrace outbound is the place to floor it if the muppets stay in the left lane.

Sweet car Dan.

Get a decent radar detector. A stealth one so if they get made illegal you can still have it hidden in there. =) Means you can do whatever you like and unless it goes off the cops have no proof you did anything =)

Mean car, would look even better with Jono's 997 reps.

The new digital speed camera vans have moved back to X band. You may have locked this out as there is alot other traffic on this frequency.

I noticed this too. X band is disabled on mine I think, comes up saying X band off on startup. So if enabling that it should work again?

It's the polarisation of the beam. It's phased 90 degrees opposite to the radars the cops use therefore you have to turn your current detector vertical to pick them up. This of course means that you will no longer be able to detect conventional radar so what you see a few people doing is to have 2 units mounted on their dash, one vertical, one horizontal.
