Mark,

Very good choice my friend. I also have a 1998 Artic silver/Black 993 turbo 'S' (UK Spec-450bhp), which i have owned since new,and done only 12,000 miles.It is a phenomenal car, i guarantee that every time you set eyes on that car, it will bring a smile to your face.

here is mine :http://hobbystage.net/porsche/media....4556413-015390

enjoy !!

best regards,

John

Hey Mark, nIce car! I guess I get your spoils. I'm the guy that bought Truspeed's 97 993 turbo that you turned down. Funny, I went in originally to look at your S. Mike said; "You can have which ever one he turns down".

That is funny! I hope you like your TT. It is absolutely beautiful. Share some pics. This place is funny. We've all seen pics of Turbos and Turbos in person, yet when someone buys a new one, we all get excited about seeing pictures of it! Car nuts... I hope I never change.

Mark,

I haven't taken any pictures yet. I won't have it for a couple weeks. Right now it's at Andial for some tweaking, then Friday to NB Porsche for the carbon fiber interior install (waste of $$ I know, but carbon fiber gives me a stiffy) and Turbo S brake vents. Next week I'm having the Rennsport 480 hp kit done. It may be Thanksgiving before it's in my garage.

I had a blk/blk 1996 TT back in 2000. I used to take it up to Willow Springs all the time. I LOVED it! I sold it after a neck injury on a mtb bike. During my recovery, not one day went by that I didn't wish I had that car back. I'll die with this one!

Mark,

Congrats, man I'm so happy for you. Did you sell the race car? I hope to see you at the TOYS 4 TOTS on 12/4.
