Modern problems require modern solutions.

Keep us updated. It looks terrible but I have strong feelings here. Only good things can happen. Once you have replaced the steering wheel, the suspension, the exhaust system and 3/4 wheels it will be tremendous.

Your membership pack is in the post.

Also, an appointment has been made for you to receive the club tattoo. But we don’t tell you when it is. It’ll just be a nice surprise when you wake up.

This is my favourite pic of it. Doesn't look as scruffy (if you ignore the scab on the bumper).

Brave buy, should be fun fixing it up. Didn’t realise that you could get them that cheap, thought even the 996 was more now.

I might do a "I bought the cheapest 996 in the country" Youtube video

Or a Doug de Muro style ‘Here’s why this 996 is the cheapest in the country’ video.

Time to open the poppopbangbang thread on Pistonheads and get all F1 over it.

Dave!

Tiptronic too

I'd have a Tip, I'd have that colour interior, but I wouldn't have that one

Rev, it'll be interesting to hear your thoughts on that seller. I've no knowledge of him, just see his ads popping up often so I'm curious.

That’s just nasty and unroadworthy to boot. At least revs one looks like it’s road legal.

OK, cheapest one that hasn't been purposely ruined?

I actually had a car from him ages ago, must be almost 15 years now. It’s a no-frills operation but they seemed straight about stuff. Hopefully still the same.

Welcome to the shonky old Porsche club, Dave

Looks like I’ll be coming down on Friday for it. My mate with the 991 Turbo S is giving me a lift down (but probably in his other Porsche).

Hang on - I missed this earlier....

WTF???

Well done

Nice one. £8k, you can’t argue with that

Sounds like we now have our own Hoovie equivalent
Let’s hope your one holds out better!

I was watching it too but forgot it was ending

Tremendous work Dave. Can't wait to see it evolve.

Porsche is the new BMW on this forum.
