My new (to me) 997 TT
Good afternoon gents, it is my pleasure to introduce my new 997 TT. I've been lurking 6speed online for over eight years now and I always dreamed of buying a 997 Turbo and was determined to acquire one since I laid eyes on it first in 2006.
Fastest forward 10 years, career is on track, I'm married to my dream girl, have a home and a beautiful daughter. All my stars aligned and I was finally ready to go on my search.
I originally wanted a white on red, manual with sport seats but it became almost impossible after searching for a long while. I eventually threw in the towel and inquired about a black tip car in Texas with HRE and full TechArt Kit but that deal fell though as the car was being sold on consignment and the original owner after 5 months of having his car at the dealer decided he would no longer agree to the asking/advertised price. I was real disappointed but two weeks later this amazing gem came along and I got my 6 speed car!!!
She's Carrara white on full red leather interior with sport seats, and sport chrono. The car had 38K when I got her last Wednesday. I hung out in Florida for a few days and decided I'd drive her home. She's now at 40,500 and will be a weekend warrior. I'll periodically drive it during the week but the car will primarily be driven as second vehicle. I love, love, love it so far and don't regret it for a second.
This was definitely an amazing purchase and I feel blessed to have been able to realize a dream. I'm officially part of the 6Speed 997 TT crew!!! Thank you all for all of the invaluable information over the years. If weren't for you I would probably be in a GTR...I'm real happy I didn't go that route. Not to take credit away from the GTR (it's definitely an amazing vehicle), but it the 911 TT has two things the GTR doesn't:
1. Timeless iconic beauty along with excellent build quality
2. Manual transmission
The GTR is a great car but the 997 TT is more rewarding to drive, it's got killer exotic looks and its an amazing machine!
Sorry about the iPhone pics I didn't have my DSLR with me :-)

Congratulations on the new purchase, I can relate to being a lurker for the last few years just reading. I also agree on the amount of information on this forum none the less the helpful members, it makes owning/wanting a 997 an even a better experience.
Great choice on color combo, while its not for all. I believe its one of the more rare combinations. E
