I feel SO blessed to be able to find a car as nice as this. It's 12 years old and runs like new.

I felt like a proper introduction was in order. Sorry the pics looks like crap because of the size. I have the big originals if anyone want's some.

V-man-- That guy in the photo looks VERY happy. ...& we can all see why.
We're blessed to have you on this board; you & the beautiful but bad to the bone Black Pearl! Breathtaking lightweight TT

Thanks for your advice when I was modding my 993. My advice? Have fun with your German gem, enjoy that slippery slope (you are so far gone already

), & keep us along for the ride. Never too many photos, my friend.

Off to a perfect start -- your shots in the shade show off perfectly shiny paint. Great job with your 'first' post of your dozen-year-old new TT.
Congratulations!!!

PS Thanks for your most recent PM, & offering to ask around.

Wow....very nice. Black is the way to go and I love the RH3.6's.

timothymoffat · 11-01-2009, 02:50 PM

Viggo you sure have a knack for finding special 993s. This one sure is special. Somebody went crazy ticking the boxes for interior options. And no sunroof!

Raptor · 11-01-2009, 09:32 PM

Just one word fits: WOW

sturm · 11-01-2009, 09:45 PM

Awesome! Sounds original and rare.

BTW Isn't "black pearl" a sex toy?!!

If you want to up the anty on perf, get a Caterham ...!

I told you so... or did i?

Enjoy matey.

Hi there buddy!!

Haha.. I'm on crack?? So I have been told, you are not the first one to tell me.. Alright I'll admit it, I know I'm crazy but at least in here.. I'm not alone

Love the new ride.

Enjoy it...while it lasts.

Haha. yeye.. Louis when are you coming out of the closet?? You know you need uhm.. well let's see.. How 'bout a special order C2S in nogaro to begin with, but
then with GT2 bodykit, GT2 speedlines, GT2 suspension, Full Matter weld'in roll cage, full RS interior with bucket seats, RS carpets (to make it driveable to and from
the track), gutted sunroof, RS thin glass oh yeah and then a full 9M 4.0 litre NA conversion (430bhp+) and then a regear to G50/31... How does that sound??

And you were right. I spent many sleepless nights thinking about this. Too much thinking. My problem with my porsche addiction is that if you havn't made up your mind it just consumes you. Going over it over and over in your head. I finally made up my mind and it feels GOOD

. I guess you can tell from the pictures

I always loved the speedlines.. I think they work really well with the curves of a 993..

Thanks Matt. I ended up being a little less track oriented than you

. Got bitten by the turbo bug. What I really love about my turbo and gobs of power is that it remains very subtle and comfortable (stock interior) while going for a cruise on a sunday afternoon whereas when you step on it, it just transforms into a total BEAST

!. Please keep us updated on your track project, havn't seen much of it in a while

I know it's crazy (the build spec). Gotta love thisone. Keeper. I still envy you for having double 993s. How do you chose whichone to drive?
