Hi guys,

I've been told this is an ELITE site and club from an existing mutual member over at PistonHeads... so here I am! (thanks TR7V8)

I'm looking to buy a 997.1 C4S, and plan to pick your brains before and after, so be prepared.
:twisted:

Wishing everyone here a very Merry Christmas!
best wishes,
Xstyle

HI & welcome Xstyle! Not sure about the elite bit that & elitist are words we avoid. A good friendly bunch slightly mad & love Porsches would be a better description! Also a lot of knowledge here about the marque as well. :D

Oh & ask away!

PS Merry Xmas too

Hello and welcome, don't know much about 997s apart from watch out for blue smoke from the LHS exhaust as bores 4,5 and 6 tend to wear/score
