I Did it!

[NikoS3]

Well, for the past month i've been the happy owner of a Basalt Black MY02 996 Carrera 4!!! The car has 31.000Km, first registration is 01/03, full service history & fully loaded!!! I have a couple of pictures i will try to upload and many more to come!!! This post has been delayed many times since my only thought was to finish work, get in the car & drive it!!!

All i have to say is...

:jump: "What a car!!! What an experience!!!" :jump:

It's not the first time i am driving a Porsche (i've actually driven all of them in all variations, apart from 987 & Cayman) but it's MY first Porsche!!! :king:

I have a lot of questions to ask about the car, but it is too early! For the time being, could you please inform how easy it is to fit Cruise Control on my car and what parts (& part numbers if that is possible) are needed? My car is MY02 with PCM1, C4 Coupe, Manual, ROW!

I'of for a ride now!!!

I hope, soon enough, i will be able to contribute to this excellent forum!!! Keep up the good work!!! :renntech:

Basalt Black is a great color!

But you really shouldn't throw McDonald's wrappers out the window of the car. B)

Thank you! It is an excellent car!

@Riad you are not the first one to tell me about the wrapper...but it's not miiiiineeee!!!

It came from a guy drooling over my car, that came of the bus, parked next to it!!!

What can i say!!!

@gcp I'll try to be careful but it's not always easy driving that car... :drive:

So, no one has tried fitting the OEM Cruise control on the 996? I have seen a similar topic on the 986, so i might try that.

Take another look at the 986 DIY thread.

Lovely car, by the way. Hope you can keep it looking that good in a dusty Greek summer! :rolleyes:

Hi there Niko,

Yes the car is truly amazing....actually I just purchased mine ...a 2003 C4S, 6 spd with 38,000 klm only 4 weeks ago. Actually its almost identical to yours! Can't seem to wipe that silly grin of my face while I'm driving. I cant wait to take it out of Greece for a real spin!!

Hi there. I guess I am the 3rd Greek in this topic! I bought my 2003 C2 Cabriolet about a month ago.
