This is my 03TT - bought it last week

I own the car for about a week- 03TT with 39k miles- bone stock. I paid a little bit too much, but this is what I wanted-black with low miles and of course stick shift. It took several months to find one, because I wanted to buy one locally. - This is my dream car, I'm coming from 96 mustang cobra, few VW's, few 240's turbocharged, 02Audi S4, 2 evo's and e46 M3---yet I prefer German cars.

I still have a poster on my wall which I got it from Chicago Auto show, back in 2002- It is a silver 01TT somehere in the desert- from time to time I was looking at it, with a smile on my face, saying, someday you gonna be mine, just like a poster of a hotchick that you used to have above your bed.

She got a little upset few days after, Maybe I went too fast with a purchase, I have problems with rear wing, I have misfire on cyl#3 --- but this is common problems, Tomorrow I'm getting TechArt exhaust installed, changing sparkplugs/coils- very next day I did tints - 35% all around-

sorry for a wall of text, I saved pictures on my computer, when I bought the car. pictures were done by the dealer- here we go:

Nice, I have an Silver 03 X50 and I love this car. Interesting, my exhaust tips are different than yours. Car looks great, two pails to wash. One to wash the other to rinse or swirls will appear. Good luck and enjoy.

I have that same poster. Have for years since the car came out. Remember when I brought my car home I looked at the poster then my car (which at the time was exactly the same as the poster, color and all) and thought damn, what's the chances of that.

I'm grateful to have just enough to own the car from a poster I got many years ago. When I was 6 I received a framed poster of a 911 Turbo (believe the car was a 78-80) for my birthday. It was always something I wanted if I ever had the means, thankfully I'm blessed and grateful.

Enjoy, it's still special for me even 2 years later .

I agree, I never understood the purists so called disdain for the 996.. personally I think it looks better than the 993s etc

Ok off to a bomb shelter to wait for the incoming barrage
