Default New to Porsche and Forum - 997 Turbo 2008

Hello everyone,

Just thought I would say hi and share some pics of my new to me ride.
I picked up a low mileage 2008 Turbo Cabriolet Last week. It is perfect in every aspect.

I've been on the forum reading up on all of the Turbo & 997 related topics.
Been going through all of the records and maint items on the car.
What a car. Already put on about 500 miles and I'm so impressed with the total package.


Anyway, great forum!


-John

Great first post. Welcome to the RL family.

And agreed, dump the amber marker lights. I did that at the dealership the day I bought mine.

Now THAT is a beautiful TT cab. Congrats and welcome to the family! Good job on posting pics or your first post. You've jumped your initiation hurtle. What's the history on your car?

Welcome Zuppy! Beautiful car!!!! Nice find.. You might want to but those spoiler lips by the six pack (smile.)
Okay lets just get to the point because someone is going to bring iit up.. Your going to need an exhaust to make that bad boy sound proper. You will find an overwhelming majority of folks recommend the Europipe. Great sound and performance.

All kidding aside.. Welcome. You are going to love your car. There are some great helpful folks here.
