Stunning - enjoy :smt055

Even the 'CSL' tabs on the gills look perfect. I bought a replacement last year and it's milked already...grrr

[sailorbaz]

Very nice mate, looks minted.

Any plans for her? You coming to Munich?

She's got the more desirable ///M3 mats too, which are now discontinued.

:drool:

[benfj180]

Cheers all,

No immediate plans, but a trip to Spa is on the near horizon and then next year a tour of Southern Europe.

Not going on the Munich trip although i would like to, too many other things commited to already.

Going to use and enjoy......still cant get over the throttle blips on the down change, find myself changing gear for no other reason than that! he he:-D

[E46CSL]

Tidy car. :thumbs:

How many miles?

[CraigMillwardCroft]

Good trailer too :-D

[Neil M]

Looks like a very nice example Ben, pity someone vandalised you plates though, detracts from the overall appearance:thumbs:
Delivered in a style befitting a Gentleman's carriage - Craig you know you want one.:drool:

[benfj180]

Yes, i also thought that trailor was a beauty!

My CSL has only 2 previous owners, supposedly never been tracked (maybe) and no modifications at all.

45k miles, FBMWSH and just had an inspection 2! Shes lovely.

Thanks for the offer re. spa but i think we are aiming at a track day end August/september if my memory serves me correctly.

Many thanks for all the kind comments, much appreciated!:thumbs:

[Neil M]

With that provenance, what more could you ask for? Spot on!

[s.mac]

Nice car congrats...and still looking good the CSL after 10 years..quite unbelievable when you think about it.

I was thinking that the other day.

Looks a nice clean car Ben :)

[Loaded]

Congratulations! Enjoy it in good health. Very beautiful.

[Olive]

Just perfect !!! Congratulations.

[Trawler]

Hear you are having a bit of stick having to explain why you have down graded to a M3. :banghead:

Don't bother, just take them out for a drive.

[alexk]

Congrats ! It looks very nice ! :drool:

BTW, why the wheel has 2 locking nuts ? Overcautious previous owner ?

[benfj180]

Hi Trawler,

How did you know?

Yes, i am tkaing a bit of stick from going from my Porker to this........layman folk do not realise what this is all about, but once they have been for a spin with me........it all becomes clear!

Ben......proud CSL owner! ha

[73CSL]

ben, what Porsche didi you 'downgrade' from ?

I 'downgraded' to my CSL from a mildy modified 996 Turbo .. although still have some old Pork in the garage :smokin:

[glendog74]

Car looks sweet - enjoy :smokin:

I had a black 997.1 C2S.......lovely motor, throughly enjoyed and no doubt will have another one day (GT3 on my hit list). But the CSL has been on my list for years, and the opportunity landed so did it!

The turbo is superb......again, maybe one day.

My problem now is that i dont think ill be ever able to let go of the CSL? Must save up!

A mate of yours who has no taste in cars & drives an Audi.
We know him as either Victor Meldrew, or the old tart.

[Craig J]
