991 Owners Cars

[attachment=BqllX1lCUAEISsV.jpg-large.jpeg]

Thank you Simon. Like your T too. As mentioned previously a gf of mine had a red one. Manual too.

 
Thanks for sharing a bit of your Porsche ownership story and posting the pics it brightened up things a bit on a pretty foul weather day here..(-:

Having enjoyed a month or so of rain and frost, yesterday afternoon arrived after much rain ensuring all the salt would be now down the drains , the winds had dried things up, time to fire the old 991 up and head out for a short run (circa 30 miles) just enough miles to warm the engine and oil temp up to normal levels and enjoy an occasional squirt on stretches of country road when I found them traffic free. I do like to get it out at least once a month in the Winter just to give it a bit of exercise to hopefully stop things seizing up. A little run does me the world of good too..(-: Yeah these days I am a low mileage Porsche owner.

Always good to read of the way others can enjoy their Porsches.

Am still using mine several times a week, being my sole car. It was unused for 9 days over Christmas/New Year, resulting in the air con/heater fan/s not working. Luckily the issue was quickly sorted by Swindon Porsche Centre free of charge! :)

 
A warm-through in the snow before heading back to work:

Happy new year all. Have great fun and 911 adventures in 2023.

 
I will look through garage when we have a Summer clear out and try to find pics of our other Porsches i.e. two Boxster S 944 turbos / cab too as this was our intro to Porsche like many thousands of Porschefiles. Annoyed i can't find pics of our early non 911 Porsches as the days we had those polaroid were the only instant pics available! How the world has changed?! I'm so pleased our kids enjoy our Porsches today as much as we do. When that pic at the dealership was taken the Dealer Principal (OPC Swindon) walked up to my other half who was snooping around her and had the temerity to say thats a customer car please don't touch it. My other half laughed and just shrugged it off replying tongue and cheek "oh I'm ever so sorry!" So prejudiced these people at OPCs where do they find these people with total lack of class? You should have seen the grovelling when someone told the **** its our 991. On the way back my other half commented I didn't realise thats the Dealer Principal he could have just as easily been the janitor. Truestory :ROFLMAO:

True - I have also met a few like that, across many manufacturers ... all being sales related

We found it half amusing or at least my husband did he dresses like a tramp at weekends quite deliberately in my view. I tore a strip off the DP later!

 
Hi all, just joined the club after collecting my 2013 991.1 Carrera 4S Cab. Can't wait to join a few meets and events.

I've been a Porsche owner before having owned a 981 and 718 Cayman S. But I've wanted a 991.1 and finally I'm in the club.

All the best, Jase

 
Congrats on your "new" Porsche, nice pic too, thanks for posting.. No hiding place for your choice of colour...BIG thumbs up..(-:

Cheers and yes a big change for me. On colour usually anything grey is my favourite but always said if I got a 911 it would be a bright colour 😎

Cheers it does feel 'Proper'

Noticed your on the mod forum for the 991.2 I've already ordered replacement rear black badges and side foils, considering gt3 stripe on the bonnet but the other half insnt convinced 😂

 
Through a couple of different Porsche Club GB meets (Ace Cafe with Porsche Club GB London & the Christmas event at Bicester Heritage) I got talking to owners of the Nick Tandy and the Derek Bell British Legends Editions (Porsche GB made 15 of each car to commemorate the Le Mans wins by Attwood, Tandy and Bell).

We decided it would be fun to get the 3 cars together at Goodwood for a bit of a reunion and attached are a couple of photos of the reunited cars (as it turned out, the Attwood and the Tandy cars were the actual press/launch cars that Porsche used for the launch event in 2017).

We have formed a WhatsApp group and a friendship, recently getting together again for the Porsche Club GB Kent meeting at Brands Hatch, which tied in with the 75 years of Porsche celebrations.

Here's my 991.

It's my first Porsche and I decided to go all out with a 991.1 Turbo S. Pictured here at one of the R20 meets in London, Sunday 'inn' the city' @ Lincolns Inn Fields.

Mine is a late 2015 car finished in Agate Grey with Bordeaux Red leather. Super happy with it and the Porsche ownership experience so far!​
