Acquired my Turbo about three weeks back, my first Porsche.
Looking forward to some decent weather. At the mo I spend more time cleaning than driving :roll:

Welcome to the forum :)

The 996TT is a lot of car for your buck :bounce: we don't mind seeing pictures of dirty cars :)

Welcome, nice car.

Forget cleaning just drive or at least drive it more than cleaning!

Thanks for the welcome guys. This was supposed to appear in the What's Yours thread. Guess I hit new topic by mistake. oops.

Agreed Sean,it is a lot of car. Quite awesome actually and by far the quickest thing I ever drove.
I had a 1972 Lotus Elan some years back and till now that was the best drivers car I ever had. Not quick by modern standards but it sure let you know when you got it right.
I've a feeling the 996 will become my favourite once we get to know each other a little better. I've only been on dry roads once in the last three weeks!

Still Sunday morning looks promising, so here's hoping.

Sorry Wazzer but I think I'm keeping this one :D

Cheers,

Welcome - Very Nice Car (Mines a Turbo also - 944 though :D )
As said above don't get into the habit of cleaning it more than driving it. I did with my previous (superb) 944S2 Cab but then upgraded to a Turbo for much more driving than cleaning.
(Makes sense thats what they are made for :lol: )
