1st time 986s owner

Hi Chaps

Here are some pics of my 2000S, It has 95K miles but a FSH, new clutch and belts at 65K and new roof. She is in amazing original condition, her last owner was a 61 year old stone mason. It was his 5th porsche having owned 4 911's previously.

Iv owned her for about a month now and for the last 10 years Iv looked on driving as a chore . Now I find myself telling my wife "no ill nip out and get some more milk" just so I can drive it.

She will be getting used Monday to Friday for my 4 mile round trip to work and back.

For the £5100 she cost me I will look after her, maintain her and enjoy her but send her straight to the breakers yard the moment Im looking at a garage bill of over £2000.

Until then I will put those thoughts out of my mind and just drive drive drive
