    • I think your world view might change a bit if you're around Ferrari's and Pagani's and Koeniggseggs for 15 years.

      Talking about your 911 might seem like me talking about my Citroen.

  • Can’t argue that the Gen II is the better engine but the Gen I looks better (my Carrera S is GT Silver Metallic)

    • I agree. Mine is Arctic Silver. GT Silver is one of the best colours in the 911.

    • Cheers Michael, I enjoy your articles, I’ve owned my ‘05 Carrera S since 2012 and since covered 60,000 miles to 110,000 so I’ve encountered a few highs and lows!
