My first Porsche...Carrera 4S Journey (Part 2: Ownership)

[M90SR]

Well I exceeded my deadline of purchasing the car before I turned 21 but it took a little longer than expected to find the right one.
After months of looking I decided to take a break. Went to the Nurburgring in the 182 and met a Carrera 4s owner out there. Seeing one in person made me want one even more. When I got back I checked the classifieds once more, only to find this Beauty!
Rear pics for now I do apologize

Overall I am in love with the car! The noise from the flat 6 from the Porsche Sports Exhaust sounds incredible in tunnels and the overall experience from driving it makes the purchase all the more worth while. Also loving the retro modern look it has!

More content to follow soon!

21 years old in a 911, bloody good going. How much is the insurance? :tongueclosed:

 

[culpz]

My sentiments exactly. Hope it serves you well!

Was loaded now skint, owns a Porsche!..

Fair play. That's a lovely car. I had a 1.2 Punto at 21 and yes it was s**t. In fact it was shittier than my first car, a 1.3 maestro. The maestro at least had some charm to it for a shitter.

How much is the insurance out of interest if you wanna tell?

 

[Scrooge]

That looks proper!!

 

[Christopher]

That looks epic. Nice work!

Haha thanks mate.
Couple grand for the insurance, not to bad considering my age.

 

[jamesycc]

Yeah not too bad at all tbf.

 

[Rojer]

I was doing quotes myself a few weeks ago as i was looking at one of these. For me with a really good driving history etc it was still like 2/2.5k and i just can't justify that anymore lol. Think my second car was a Civic and that was 3.5kish.

Where abouts in Luton you from?

 

[Cub.]

Good work! Looks great. Enjoy it!

 

[Ian_182]

No more pics its been a week ffs..:smile:

 

[M90SR]

Lacking images of the car at the moment. Car is in storage and will be receiving a full wrap! I know some of you (the majority) dislike wraps but IMHO its the best way to keep the car protected from the day to day. The wrap can then be machined polished to improve its finish so thats okay. If you were to change the colour of the car what would you go for?

Edit: Any one having issues posting pics? Mine do not appear?

Would you want a Porsche colour still or just something you like?

If it was me I'd be going for something that stands out.

 

[Typhoon]

I’d go for a burnt orange look.

 

[Short Norman]

Beautiful car. My first car was an Austin A35, and I am not a bit jealous. Sniff Sniff.

Snap!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Has he stacked this then?

 

[_Tom]

Has he stacked this then?

He never passed the custard test to start with. To me the number plate looks photoshopped on the first pic. :tongueclosed:

 

[Silent_Scone]

Yeah it is you're right

 

[Al_G]

Hang on...This was a bullshit story?

 

[Euan94]

The number plate is registered to the car and if I remember he did have the number plate on his clios. Wouldn't have thought its complete bullshit just maybe something's happened and hence the silence

 

[STEVE.M]

Are there no new heads on spikes to gawp at today?
