997 911 Carrera 2 in Silver

[NewNiceMrMe]

This is the first time I've had a chance to have a good look at one close up....because I managed to get to chat to the bloke.

Spotted it driving in Whitley Bay with a rather nice number plate on it.

I had to park up to drop some papers off at a solicitors and the bloke who I'd seen some moments beforehand parks behind me.

So, as I was raising the roof (hood down weather up here all week!) it gave him time to get out of his car. He looked and actually said "Perfect for this type of day eh?".

I passed an equally cliche compliment about his car and we got talking.

I have to say I was very impressed. It's a very very nice clean design and I really like the re-worked headlights - much more traditional 911-like.

The interior caught my eye more than anything though...very stylish indeed.

He hadn't added many options and he had the wheels I don't like on it (standard, with the squares at the end of the spokes).

He'd done the grand total of......109 miles! He'd picked it up yesterday!!!!!

The silver was very shiny and the car really stood out.

He'd previously had a Boxster apparently (3.2S).

Anyway, he was a nice bloke for a 911 driver (aye, I saw your comment about 'funny for you' ) and his plate must have cost him almost as much as the car but I won't put it on here.

So basically, mmmm, very impressed with the car.

I like, lots.

They are very nice cars, yet to see one close up to talk to the owner, but they are much nicer IMO than the previous generation 996!

Saw a black 997C2S headed up the M1 earlier today.

They are lovely aren't they.
