back to the Macan fold.. sort of

[Wing Commander]

It will be an awesome car regardless of wheel and tailpipe choice!

I know what you mean about the 19" wheels. I'm a sucker for the look of a larger wheel, but I do appreciate that my Panamera would be even more comfortable on 19" or 20" wheels.

I will watch your spec with interest as you approach lock down, Cowan!

I was watching Nick Murray on YT the other day and he's right about the quad tailpipes - they do make the 911 look wider at the rear.

that's what I thought as well, and if the sound outside is anything to go by in his clip the standard system sounded nicer if not louder than the sports system. The C2S I drove on Monday had the sports exhaust and at anything below 3-4k rpm there was not much coming through to the cabin, which I don't mind when you're not in the mood to give it the beans. Hence I don't see the reason for speccing it.

Hi,

Final spec for my 911.. I've given in to the larger wheels WingCo... This is going to be a long 6 months!!

They say you shouldn't wish your life away.. but I've lusted after a 911 since I was 6 and never thought I'd be in the position to have the chance of owning one..

Must admit though.. I am enjoying driving the Macan SD more than the Cayenne despite the obvious lack of oompf .

Anyway, a good weekend to all.

Really nice, Cowan!

20" wheels, sport tailpipes... Looks great - classy. I wonder what the Sport-Tex seating material will be like. Saw a positive review of it online in a 718 Cayman.

Is that 'final' spec or just 'latest' spec?

Not long now before that 911 magic!

Very sensible and lovely looking car. No wonder that the next six months can't go quickly enough for you.

Great looking 911, very nice

To be honest, I've never really wanted a 911 for various reasons but that changed after I drove one. Perhaps some day when I don't require 5 (proper) seats and a large boot.

At the age of 43 my circumstances at work changed which meant I no longer needed the Cayenne and my wife had already had the X5 by this time.. and since my kids are 5 and 2.5yrs old, they fit nicely in the back of a 911.. for the time being. Financially, the money was probably best spent elsewhere, but you only live once and the mortgage is more than manageable. If I was to go down the sensible route I'd have to wait quite a few years to build up the funds again. + plus will the kids still fit properly.. given I am 6ft 3 and my wife is 5ft 7..... Put into perspective.. my dad (68) has been retired since he was 47, and my mother still won't let him buy a 911 despite his own history with TVR.... you can imagine how popular I am currently..... NOT!

You'll have to let your Dad have a go in your 911.

I bought my first. 911 at 43. Kids were 3 and 5.. Sold my second 911 at 49 to buy the macan, mostly as the kids had grown out of the 911's
You have a perfect 5-6 year window where it'll work, so enjoy it.
Like you my dad isn't allowed the car he wants but can easily afford.
