So it is time to move on.

I have had 2 and a half years in the S and had a great time. I always said that if I moved on before the car fell apart it would need to be for a supercar.

I have gone for a 2002 911 Tip Turbo in Polar Silver.

Deposit was placed today, I pick it up a week on Friday and am using the S as Part-Ex.

The Turbos I test-drove were just amazingly fast and really planted. The S started to feel a bit slow! The steering in the Turbo is also very precise. I thought the S steering was pretty good and couldn't understand those who said otherwise, but now I can see why!

They also appear to be the bargain of the century at the moment! I am paying far less than the S was new. Yes I know it is nearly 9 years old but we are talking about a car that cost over £100k new! New ones are now around £130k!

It has been great fun over here and I probably won't disappear completely just yet. I am yet to find a 911 Forum as good as this one is for the S.

cheers

Great choice. They are really fun cars and your right they are a performance bargain, if you get a good one. My advice would be to get very chummy with a local independent pork fixer if you want to use her properly.

 

Tiptronic?

I have driven a tip, and I detested it. Properly abhorred it. However the Turbo in general is a stonking car.

 

I like Tiptronic.

Some die hards might hate it but it was very smooth and direct.

 

Ive only driven the 997 turbo triptronic, the mark 1 version that is. Is there much difference?
