These are great cars now becoming genuine classics they drive brilliantly look good and handle much better than all the modern 911s keep up the good content thanks
Totally agree and thanks for the positive comment 🫶
They'll never be classics
The ugliest model ever made unfortunately
Well done to you both, that's the highest quality production i've watched from you yet.
Wow, thank you!
Well done guys! What a great flowing conversation. Dan is clearly the Magnus walker of the 996 world 😂……..Also, I think we both need a mk2 feature on the channel 😃
😂 we do both love a MK2
@@danstimelessclassics5899 yeah and 3 door BBM MK2’s…. What are the chances?!? 😃😃
Great idea mk2s rock
awesome, thanks for making! I hope the 996 gets to where it belongs, I have a 996.2 aero and I've loved them since they were new like Danny!
Thanks so much for the love I two love 996.2 infact if I buy a GT3 it will be a .2 🫶
Right on!
Superb video and some awesome shots, love Dans passion for the 996👏
Yeah he’s a lovely guy. Proper lad
Love you ❤️😘 @markhendry
What a great watch, I really enjoyed your appreciation and enthusiasm for these cars, awesome machines and an awesome film.
Thanks. Yeah these cars are something special.
What do you drive ?
I had a 98 mo30 with lsd, cable throttle, dansk exhaust, ipd plenum and throttle, mapped, it was and is an awsome car. I have a turbo that is modded now, and the 98 is arguably are more focused drivers car
Totally agree 💯
996 is the most special generation of 911. Time will tell. People are tired of modern car design and old school will become popular again.
Had several 911s '88 clubsport 89' supersport and 924 race car, from fords not vws, currently got a guards red factory aero 996, 997 c2s, 964 turbo, and new 992 T delivery in may, unless its delayed, again...
Which one did you enjoy the most?
Wow aero in red is ❤️❤️❤️
All have merits and quirks, 992 cant say yet, the 88 clubsport is the unicorn though.
Another great video Trevor, keep up the good work 😊👍🏻
Thanks, will do!
Loving this channel. The 996 4S and Turbo cars with Sport Techno hollow spoke alloys are simply stunning.
❤😂😢😮😅😊😊 clever Trevor where have you been you gotta keep up with the videos that says two days old you’re doing good job bro and I like those Porsches too just like all of us were a Porsche freak or a Porsche nut. Take care have a good week and you’re doing awesome job with videos. I like to see more. It’s hard last time you did one with coffee and show all the other Porsches
Dan is the man but his love for that aero is something 😅 named "aero"ironically it produces more drag for the 996 equipped with it than without... extra weight. Its the ⚓️ kit. 🤘🏁
Noooo you just wished you was aero 😂
@@danstimelessclassics5899 DMing you a photo of my aero kit, in the corner of the
storage/junk garage beside the holiday decorations where it belongs 🤣
I really enjoyed this video! I am an old VW Guy (lots of GTIs back in Ty Eddy and a 914 with Flares etc now and would love to find a 996 or 997)Thanks for posting!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was a nice video. Well done!
Thanks you know there's a lot of love for the 996
Well done Trevor and Danny! A good behind the scenes look at "DTC Towers"!
Thank you 🫶
Amazing work Trevor I'm over the moon buddy you've really told my 996 story and I think everything we've spoken about is all very relevant to today's car park chats 🫶 I really love these cars and love what you've done I'm sure we're going to do lots more videos together in the future on my other cars 👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you again 🙏
All your cars have a feature in them. We will have content for days.
I have an ocean blue 996.1 with aero, with cable throttle and LSD. Bought it nearly 20 years ago when prices were super low, with only 25k miles to boot! I recently picked up a 997 GT3 RS and the plan was to sell the 996 (even though I didn’t want to), so my wife and son said keep it, because we all love it so much. I decided to hang onto it until my son is ready to take ownership. Love the collection mate, 996s forever! Cheers from SF, USA.
So impressed by you both and your work. What a beautiful car. Mates chat, too. So warm. Uncommon these days. Thank you 😊
@@SF_NativeChuffed to hear she’s a keeper. You’ll regret selling it & it’ll also appreciate from here on in. Made up at the prospect for your son. Even if early on, he wants a slammed Yaris with a straight pipe and an insane music system, in time what he’ll want is a classic 911.
Oh my word, you almost got me seriously misty, talking about the 90s. I’m a lot older so I was in my first professional job through the 90s. I didn’t enjoy it at the time the way I’d enjoyed the late 70s, early 80s (I guess equivalent to your 90s, early noughties). I realise it’s mostly rose tinted spectacles, but life was much simpler, more human and of course analogue everything from bikes & girls to money and communication. Would I go back, if I could? No. It’s always a journey and learning is life.
I’ve always said & found that listening to someone who’s knowledgeable about something & passionate too is ALWAYS well worth it.
Love the genuine enthusiasm and gentleness. Odd word to use about two fellas from another fella?
I’m increasingly realising that being who you are and having self control is a highly moral state of being. You can be strong looking men without the faintest hint of “toxic masculinity” & all that divisive nonsense. Capability (for almost anything) coupled with elegant restraint is an underrated attribute. My wife of 40 years says it’s always that pairing which she has always found most attractive. You guys have that.
Enjoy your superb car.
In closing, why am I here? I’m excited to report that I’ve just bought my first Porsche 911. It’s a 40th anniversary edition of the 996.2. I got to this choice by a combination of ruling out the 991/922 as too big for me. Earlier platform 911s are just insane prices. I preferred the 996 because I am concerned about how readily onboard tech can be deliberately exploited by the authorities. Imo there’s an agenda to restrict our customary freedoms. 997 is a little too modern in that regard. 996.1 I found marginally less good looking than the .2.
I was lucky to come across what might be one of the lowest miles (12k) of the limited run of 1,963 examples. Stored in a dust free, cool & dark garage, it feels like a Time Machine, taking us back 20 years. After agreeing the price, I elected to splash out on PCCM+ and a new, original equipment Porsche Switchable Exhaust. It looks & drives like new and it’s now got a huge spec. I don’t plan ever to sell it, but I’m going to enjoy it whenever I want and so is my wife. I can’t tell which of us pensioners are more excited!
@@GT380man thank you so much 🫶
Fun to watch ❣️
Thank you ❤️
One of my more recent regrets is selling my 996.1 speed yellow aero car with genuine gt3 seats. Yeah, not my greatest moment 🤦🏼
What did you buy after that ?
Wow speed yellow with buckets that's holy grail aero 🫶💛
@@RollingSlowMedia I ran it alongside my 46m3. Convid came along, lost my job along with company van and needed a sensible daily. Got all my money back out the 996, bought a nice M240i which was chopped in for a M2c. Bought a f31 as a daily and bring out the m3 & m2 for the fun days.
I’d love to have the 996 back in the garage, had a lotta fun in that car 🤷🏻♂️
Another great vid with some crisp examples. Keep 'em coming! Also, would like a Boxster 986 feature in the future.
986 boxster are great he should defo get an early 2.5
As a proud and recent owner I fully agree!
Incoming
@@danstimelessclassics5899 As it happens, I bought a '97 one two weeks ago in so called stock brochure spec (silver exterior, boxster red interior) and I can't stop driving it and looking at it! 😅
@@briteize136 great to hear I hope I had some influence in your 996 buying decision they really are amazing cars 🫶
Nice vid and brilliant interview ❤
Cheers cuz
Thank you ❤️
Great vid . I’m new to the 996 scene . Picked up a Gen 2 C4 ( was at the last ACE meet ) in arctic silver . @dan Now I know who to come to for parts 👨🏼🔧🤷🏼♂️😂👊🏻
Congratulations on your first 996 your get the bug now it's easily done 🫶
Love this Dan! Was thinking about a 997, but you've convinced me I've got the World's best car 😁
Wicked episode!!! Im a 996 nut
Good to hear they are great cars 🫶
Thank you
I've got a 2001 Aerokit 996 so I totally get the obsession. It's a fantastic 911!
Hold onto it.
There so good arnt they 🫶
I also own a 2000 991 aerokit 6 speed and love it! Just bought it and it’s my first Porsche!
@@TheConvictionOfALeader good to hear
Great content!
He's so good isn't he
Looking forward to our video Jerome.
one of the nicest cars ever built. could have been so much better though if it wasnt for those damn headlights
Fried eggs all the rage now everyone loves them except you 😂
❤😂😂😢😮😮😅😊😊 Trevor you’re supposed to let that Porsche rip down that freeway or street I would if I was in that Porsche that’s what they’re made for bro take care and you’re awesome
Cheers buddy
I'm the same way. Cable throttle early 99 is where it's at.
Yes you know it ❤️
At 1:50, the statement that Volkswagen "owns" Porsche it not entirely fact. The Volkswagen Group is owned by Porsche SE...so technically Porsche OWNS Volkswagen
Yeah I’ve head the story is not so straightforward lol.
Ironically it's all VAG and I believe it was Audi that saved Porsche and helped them develop the 996 986 which saved the brand but VW was biggest part of VAG group so in theory it was VW that owned everything but ofcourse that's just the brand ....VAG is the group that owns it all
Currently an owner of a 991gt3rs, 430 scuderia and 3 996....turbo, 4.0 built c2, and a cabriolet c2. The 996's cover all the bases of a car enthusiast for me
That is an impressive collection. Which car gets the most road time?
Wow a 4.0 C2 bet that's mega 🫶
@RollingSlowMedia appreciate it! Definitely the 4.0 c2, it has the full bbi suspension treatment on kw clubsports. The performance is very attainable on the streets vs the 991gt3rs and its much more dialed in than my late 997gt3. My biggest gripe is the exhaust note, which is really raspy. Fabspeed longtube headers and x pipe is the current configuration,I will try a non x pipe setup next. The turbo is second on k24 billets, and the 996 cab is last when I just need a quiet ride with all the 911 driving dynamics(all oem for now)
On another note, I recently purchased an sls amg but was so disappointed, that I sold it within a couple weeks. Porsches and ferraris have hit the spot consistently.
@danstimelessclassics5899 it definitely is! Power feels like 95% of my 997gt3 but a better torque curve but short of the mezgers exhaust note and top end. If I were to build it again I wouldn't forget the x51 cams and a ported head
@@Krnnerdboy sounds mega well done 🫶
Tragically my 996 became a kitchen. Fambly now means a panamer a and a 170'000 mile 1998 boxste r
98 boxster is a great car
The older the years, the more beautiful she becomes. ultimately it's a unique design, it's reminiscent of the first 911s without the big hips. the non-round headlights of phase 1 are coming back into fashion a little. she becomes very pure to look at
Agreed 💯
As a owner off 2 mk1 GTI big bumper kit cars back in the day i would love to get a 996 on the drive 👍👍👍
I’d like to get a mk2 on my drive also.
I’d like to get a mk2 on my drive also.
❤😂😢😮😮😅😅😊😊 that’s the way you do it drive it daily drive it to the race and drive it all over town and work. Those are awesome cars. Keep up the good work with those porches the one you’re interviewing and Porsches the bass and get the rest and if I had that Porsche match that gas so bad I’ll be getting tickets right and left. Oh well they’re made for.
Excellent video 👍
He's so good isn't he
Thank you very much!
❤😂😢😮😅😊 that’s funny Trevor my stepdad worked on cars and race cars and he had a PT cruiser and it overheated and got hot and it’s 21 years old and I said if you’re mechanic you wouldn’t know how to fix it and you worked on cars so he’s driving my Ford focus my focus a lot service every 3500 or 4000 and I maintain my focus very well day peace out
❤😂😮😮😊😊
I think I seen that car before. Did you interviewed him on another video or Trevor? Have a good day and have a good week
Not done anything with Trevor before although he's been chasing me for months bless him...worth the wait though he's done a brilliant job 🫶
Maybe seen it on my page @danstimelessclassics
Pinky Lai the designer of 996
Hence the name of the club ...Pinky's tacos 🩷🌮
Correct and BMW E36
👌🏾❤️👌🏾
Cheers bruv
❤😂😊😢 member the Volkswagen Corrado those were bitching. They were fast I’m done. I had said enough. I’ll shut my mouth until next time.
I use to own one.
UNPOPULAR TAKE TIME : The 1st gen 996 headlights (esp wityh clear corners) looks way, way, WAY better than the turbo/facelift that follows, and the butt is still the best of the watercooled era. Whats. Up.
I hear ya buddy ❤
Beautiful cars but unfortunately have engines made out of paper
There not all that bad it's a myth ...these early 3.4s are generally great suffering just with age related deterioration like most cars with high revving complex engines ... The gen 2 996 and gen 1 997 went through a period of bore score issues but again not every car although 997 is looking worse for that ...loads and loads of very high mileage 996s out there running completely original internal engine components...I'm taking 150-200 even 250+ k miles cars especially 3.4s very easy to find a high mileage car that's never had engine work
@@danstimelessclassics5899 I had a cayman s 987 had bore score at 80k miles. I know all car brands have there issues but Porsches when they go wrong its catastrophic it’s an engine rebuild or a new engine! A Mezger engined Porsche is the only Porsche I would buy n unfortunately they are way out of my price range
Yes, true
All that and he still doesn’t even pronounce the brand name correctly
lol 😂
Does anyone in the UK ? 😂
So want to see this one for over 10k views 🫶
It's so close to 10k 9916 soon 9961 which is perfect 996.1 😂
