Is this the prettiest 911 ever?

I don't like them, they are technically a total abortion.

 

Not a bad car considering where the engine is, i take it this is why you refer to it as an abortion, they're reliable, usable, supercar quick, handle well considering the potential pendulum effect, i would rather a 911 over a Ferrari, but thats just me :)

 

It's not bad as 911's go i prefer Adnanshah's pic though.

Best car I have ever driven, been utterly reliable, turns heads when I go out (yes they're aren't as common up North), performance and handling that mean you need a tasty machine to embarrass you in any way, in summary, does exactly what it says on the tin :D

Actually, this has surprised me about mine. It gets a lot of attention, much more than the 964 and more than my Supra ever did. Considering how many 996s there are about (and that most people wouldn't notice the difference between that and the turbo) I didn't expect it.

 

Mind you - mine doesn't currently seem to be quite as reliable as yours - there is some evidence it might be losing coolant.

The rads at the front gather leaves etc, they corrode I believe unless you keep ontop of them, keep any debris away from them (and the AC rads),

I know, and it's where I assume it's probably leaking from. Although I've also been told rad caps are known to leak, and that the coolant cap can (and even that there was a modified part).

 

I'm going to top up one more time - assuming the level goes down again it will go back to the dealer. They are excellent - I've already told them about it, and they will sort it. The next time I buy a car, they will be the first place I shop (assuming it's a Merc or Porsche since that's all they sell).
