Hi all,

my name is Dieter, part of R25. Just saying hi as a new member. Super excited about picking up my new 997.2 C4S this week and joining some events and meets soon. A C4S has been my dream car since seeing a black 993 C4S in Bad Boys many many years ago…

Hi

Just re-joined the PCGB after about 20 years away after selling my 1984 911 Carerra 3.2 Targa in Garnet Red Metallic. Bought for £12k, sold for £12k, how much to buy today? Don't want to think about it!

I'm in R19, Thames Valley and now have a 997.2 C2 S in Metallic Macademia with Sand Beige and Black Leather.

Cheers!

Duncan

Hi All,

I'm new to Porsche ownership, the last in my family as three brothers have all owned them. I bought my 997.1 C2S Manual Cab in May. I'm in Guildford (R29, Surrey), so if you see me around give me a headlight flash or wave and I'll wave back, always up for a chat. Recently joined Goodwood too, so hope to do a few runs down that way.

Cheers,

Paddy

Welcome Paddy. What a machine! Will look out for you. I’m out Sevenoaks way so do the same if you see me on the M25.

Hi all, new member as of today. Just stumbled across this old thread so thought I’d say hi and share a photo of my 997.2 C2S that I bought back in June.

Many years since I’ve been on any car related forums but looking forward to bringing the car along to some events in 2026

Hi all.
new member, I am just into my third years of 997 ownership.

And here’s mine! 2010 C4S cab PDK. Been a member for 20 years now; this is my third Porsche after an 05 987 Boxster S and an 06 997.1 C4S cab (manual). Currently on 53000 miles with several trips from Aberdeen to France (including the LeMans Classic) under the belt . Just completed brake pad and disc replacement and currently have the central console out to strip and repaint after the rubberised paint started to bubble.

Evening all.

Newbie saying ‘Hi’.

I’ve owned my 997.1 C2s since May 2025. This is my first Porsche after a selection of various hot hatches, Jaguars and TVRs.

My only regret is that I didn’t buy one earlier, as it is everything that I’d hoped it would be.

She’s just coming up to 95’000 miles. Manual gearbox, non sunroof, no rear wiper, and besides a change in stereo, I believe it’s as otherwise standard?

With any vehicle at 20 years of age, there are a number of issues that require addressing. Just age related wear and tear really.

I’ll be taking two weeks off work next month to remove the engine and replace all of the coolant, brake and fuel lines / hoses / pipes, along with the clutch, water pump, spark plugs, coil packs, exhaust manifolds and the timing chain.

Next summer I plan of replacing all of the coolant system towards the front of the vehicle, and then a full suspension overhaul the summer after that.
