Lots of great comments thank you! Since the work om the Porsche the oil temp regularly reads lower which is awesome news, i am also going to be getting a set of 15mm spacers for the wheels and im very, very tempted to lower it a smidge. If anyone has a link to a good frint spliiter aswell let me know!
@@tastyclassics that’s how it begins… the modification addiction!
Great video Ben, and the smile on your face shows how much the car means to you. Maybe look at getting the wheel arches ice blasted? My X type also has the ipod connector as a factory option which took the place of CD 6 on CD changer, always thought that's a strange way to add an aux input!
Make sure you get the bearing done on that engine. Easy job for you!
Love this!! Well deserved!! Those wheels were such a good choice ❤
Love this. Nothing wrong with sharing
Mate, just watched the end. Respect to you and your lovely Mum. My mum passed away 4 years ago and think about her everyday. Wish I could turn back time and buy her something nice for all she did for me. Mums are like the ford transit, backbones of Britain and backbones of the family.
I treated myself to a 996 911 last year, a lovely 40th anniversary edition car, all were manuals, 345bhp.
Mine’s got the Porsche switchable exhaust, too! It’s great.
In retirement, I don’t need another car. My wife’s got what she wanted, and I’ve a couple of classic Suzukis.
She said why not get yourself something purely for the pleasure of it. So I did.
Glad you did, Ben, too!
Hey Ben. I just wanted to say what a great channel you have. Never be worried about sharing great news about getting your dream car, you've deserved it. You are very talented at what you do and I absolutely love watching your videos. They've given me the inspiration to start restoration on my old Mercedes. Above all else you are a very genuine kind hearted guy. Hope your channel continues to grow, a subscriber here for life here. I look forward to lots more great content. Cheers
Good for you for getting the car of your dreams! No hate from me!
So happy for you Ben, I can see why you were nervous about sharing this video but 99% of us will watch you no matter what you do. Congratulations on the Porsche!
Remember Ben as Wynn said "the people that mind don't matter, and the people that matter don't mind". Well done, I am buying a Porsche this year after watching this. Money can buy you happiness 😊
Make sure it's a Guards Red one. The OG 911 colour. As well as being the best colour, because everyone else is wrong, it's worth more... ;-)
If you could find a Guards 993 Turbo in museum, zero miles condition, it'd probably fetch £300,000 at auction.
Lee at Stockport said I might have to buy a new one to get a Guards Red one. But the Turbos would be over 200 large by the time they come out in August!
And you can't even get one of those until 2026...
Agree with you 100%. You can’t take it with you!
Congratulations on realising a dream.
I totally agree, was stuck in a SUV , took it for a service and found my Abarth 124 spider, no where near a 911 but my daily and I have loved it for the last 2 years
Congratulations Ben. Love it! You deserve it with all the graft you put it. Enjoy.
Hi Ben, well deserved and love the fact you looked after your mom. Great heart.
Delighted for you man, well deserved !
Ben, I love your videos, I love your sentiments and outlook, and I totally agree with what you are doing. Keep up the great uploads and am loving this 911.
I can connect growing up and not supposed to spend money on stuff you adored. Thankfully there are some scratches in this self-inflicted matrix now, and your video is one of them. Thank you, sir
Hi Ben, always use demineralised (de- ionised )water or distilled if in a hurry. Tap water possibly has minerals that can cause corrosion to the engine. If your going to such trouble with coolant and oils ( which is commendable, don’t use tap water. Great channel, really good ! Enjoyable and like your approach ! Just change that expensive coolant soon with de - ionised water in the concentrate mix. 😊
I am also northern man. A bit older than you. But nevertheless think the same about buying stuff for myself. Guilty feeling.
But you are a genuine honest and decent hard working lad. You deserve a bit of nice every now and then. Thankyou for sharing .
Been following you from the start sadly can’t support you with money but I’m really happy you got hold of your 911 mate enjoy and I’ll always like and share.
Congratulations Ben, like you say - you’re only here once. It’s lovely having something you can cherish and fettle.
What a great person you are Ben. You deserve it, enjoy it! 🎉
Ben you deserve to get your dream car and it looks stunning.. you work so hard and what a lovely Mum you have.. you can see how proud she is of you and what you have achieved.. and well done for looking after her.. you are a diamond mate .. enough mush stuff .. now any time you want to make a 49 year old happy who is just getting over a stroke and is looking forward to getting back to his carer job looking after the old folk .. just knock on my door with the cortina or capri and make my dreams come true 🤪🤪 well they are on my wish list but unfortunately can’t afford them .. take care of yourself and your mum .. keep up the hard great work you do .. all the best Tony the carer in fakenham Norfolk 👍❤️👍
All the very best for your recovery and health tony
I’m a petrol head and last June I swapped my focus ST mk3.5 for a 06 black cayman 2.7 base manual it was the best day of my life !! I’ve wanted a Porsche since I was 7 years old !! I’m now 63 and I just love walking out to the car every day …… don’t leave it too late to buy your dreams
Use some Bilt Hamber UC (clear)and UB (hard - dark brown) under your car, a couple of cans will do the underside of the 997.
Ive just come across your channel, and I must say I love the way you talk and explain stuff, you are a straight talker no bullshit, you’re not trying to be a wannabe top gear presenter, you made me laugh a few times throughout your video, like when you were draining the washer fluid, when you took the front bumper off, when your mum pointed at the camera towards the end, I wouldn’t normally watch a long video on you tube but the way you present yourself is so relaxed and refreshing, I really enjoyed watching and I hope to get a 911 in the future, its always been my dream car. The best of luck with yours👍
Awesome car man, glad to see you are enjoying it, dream come true, might even appreciate in value who knows with cars like this. 5 seconds to 60 is plenty quick for anything, quite an eye opener how modern cars are quickening up now though, we have a 2 ton Ioniq 5 EV with 320bhp/600nm and it will do it in around 4.8... Only nice thing about it is it will do it every single time without fail and thats also the worst thing about it, its just boring really, very little involvement in the drive, no wheelspin (being awd), no challenge... so i understand the EV hate sometimes, i love the car but petrol heads need that roar of the engine, the slip of the tires, the shift of the gears. Even though our car is/was a 50k car its not my dream car, its just a perfect family car (downsides of 3 kids and a wife lol)
Hope this beauty brings you so much joy, one of the top channels around by far!
Don’t waste your money on ceramic coating Ben. Had my Jag done, cost hundreds and was useless
The rear most manifold head stud on the left bank has either snapped or worked itself loose and dropped out. It's worth tending to that if you're going to give the car some stick - before the manifold flange warps.
What kind of money that old feller must be sitting on just to have a porsche and a new jag just sitting in the barn doing nothing. Fair play to him. Good purchase Ben.
Great video and pleased for you. Bought the same car but a 4s, my first Porsche 7years ago. Owned it for 5 years and absolutely loved it. I then had the unexpected opportunity and bought a 997 turbo 2 years ago. Unreal performance step up but still the 997 drive at heart.
Saw it on Sunday and it’s a gem. The fact that there is no major negativity makes me happy for you.
I’m on 200 subs, so will get a 911 in about 32 years!
I don't know if You addressed it in the video, since I am on 12th minute still, but You can retrofit it with OEM modern entertainment unit from Porsche. With Carplay and all the modern things!
Also, I think a car like that fits nicely within the channel and content you make. Classic is a broad umbrella term isn't it, yes there's the old bona fide vintage and classics but there's also modern classics like that focus, the mx5 , the TT and the boxter , it's important to do what you're doing so they're preserved. That 911 is still very much a part of the classic discussion and highlights a question that doesn't get debated enough. What cars are the cars of today that are going to become the classic cars of tomorrow?.
I was talking about it with my mates the other day and looking around the streets and roadsides l can't see anything much around that will be a classic as well know it. I think that 911 of yours is one car that will become a classic. So definitely belongs here on the channel.
Again mate, I'm ever so pleased for you, I love to see folk getting on and achieving what they deserve, it does my heart good.
Nobody will resent you owning what’s becoming a modern classic car. Instead they’ll smile and give you a 👍🏼
If you are going to,reuse a copper or aluminium washer, heat it up to re anneal it so it becomes soft again, doesn’t take long… if you use a marker pen and black out one side of the washer then heat it until the marker pen disappears, it will he re annealed 👍
Superb video Ben,total honesty,not that you have to explain yourself,cannot believe you thought it might of been taken badly, you work hard,your you tube channel is one of the best,you get the car you want, thank you for sharing it with us all,I for one will never tire of a happy event in our mainly miserable world,well done for achieving your dream.
Ah, Ben, that was great
I can feel your excitement for the Porsche and would have done exactly the same to it. It's the satisfaction of cleaning and protection that's right up my street. Well done bud.
Congratulations on your dream car. I'm glad you waited to get it exactly how you wanted. You've earned it.
Recently bought an audi TT MK1 roadsters! exact reason why i treated my self to convertible! live life!
I grew up in country side bought my first car at 14mk2 escort£100 never saw a copper driving at 14 on same sort of roads learned on farm tractors at 9 years old can't do it now anpr
Once you het used to them, Porsche 911’s are easy to work on, panels come off easily, once you yet your head around not trying to struggle but remove the bumpers, access is greatly improved.
I am very happy for you Ben! 😊👍🥳Nothing beats buying your dream car! I did the same last May with my MG ZT 260. I've been dailying it myself, and have enjoyed it ever since! 😊.Here's hoping you have a fantastic time with the car Ben! Well done chief! 😊👍💜
What a fabulous unicorn of a car mate... Gotta be juicy?
@saulmc8920 More rumbly me thinks 😂😊👍
A car I definitely want to do at some point!
@tastyclassics I hope you do! Though I'll be honest, it ain't nothing on your Porsche! 😂😊👍
Congratulations mate! Well done and well deserved
Thanks for responding to my daughter's request for a birthday message Ben. I, like you, am a petrol head and I also feel the weight of my car choices when it comes to "keeping it real" but IMO the 997 is the last great Porsche product and I agree with you on the colour. I was lucky enough to own a 996 C2 in Polar Silver and most recently a 997 Turbo in Cobalt Blue which was a stunning (and different colour)..........one mod I did do was to add the Dectane LED lights at the rear which looked really great on the pre facelift version.....have a look online. Enjoy! 👍
Been waiting for this video since you hinted at it on the podcast. Delighted for ya lad. I decided to throw caution to the wind and buy a dream car of mine 2 weeks ago as well. A manual Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo. Couldn't really afford it but it's too easy staying in your comfort zone and making excuses as to why you can't do something. If you can do it today, do it because you may not be able to tomorrow.
Absolutely epic that is also one of my dream cars! Thanks to gran turismo. I will get one for the channel one day.
Nothing to apologise for dude. I was recently in the market for an MR2. In the end I realised that I could get a 986 boxster s for less money … if you get the chance to get a Porsche as a petrol head you just have to do it. Expect lots of things to break as you drive it more than it’s ever been driven … then fix it and full send it again 😂
I've had a 2004 Boxster, guards red with lobster claws for the last 7 years as a daily. Best decision ever!
Fair play to you Ben, you’ve had businesses for a long time and anyone that has been self employed will appreciate how hard you have grafted to get to where you are now. If you can afford to, why the hell not treat yourself to something that has been your dream for such a long time! Enjoy it!! 👍
Had a 996, wish I had kept it 😓. Nice old chap, loved the Jag and the two Yamaha's in his garage.
Got the last 3 episodes lined up for tonight, appreciate all the work you put in to these
Have been looking forward to this. Congratulations on achieving your dream car. Thanks for letting me join you in your collection. Hard work and dedication rewarded. Top man for looking out for your mum. Enjoy your car.
Yet another brilliant video Ben I really enjoyed it. I really like how you sorted your mum out with a new car .I really miss my mum every single day your so lucky because your. is the best friend you'll ever have. Can't wait until the next video take care buddy.
Congrats Ben, the 911 is such a mint example. Love your channel and how good to achieve a dream, next milestone is 100k subs... almost there!
Hi Ben, we watch, we love. No explanation needed. Thank you for your videos, along with others they keep me sane in this crazy world. Cheers 🍻
Congratulations Ben. Loved this video, as it brought back great memories for myself, travelling by train to pick up my 996 convertible. They are great cars and as you have demonstrated, there is nothing to worry about in servicing them yourself. Enjoy 👍 And best wishes to Ellie for a speedy recovery 😘
Love this mate, can see how happy you are 🎉
The wheels made a world of difference looks stunning
Congratulations on the 911, you deserve it! Beautiful spec, enjoy it. I own my dream car since 2001. 3 years of restoration. Worth every penny, blood, sweat and tears. Discovered your channel last year, watched and enjoyed every video.
I love the excitement in your voice as you work on your car I just hope you don’t start getting ideas above your station and start looking down your nose at people at the traffic lights 😂😂😂
Bit late to the video but what a way to spend my Sunday afternoon! Don’t ever apologise for enjoying the fruits of your labour, you work hard and I think (hope?) that your viewers are of the same petrol head volition and would do the same given half the chance. Enjoy in good health Ben 🍻
That clear Waxoyl + spray bottle combo is epic, definitely doing that to my on cars! Loved seeing the new Porsche too, enjoy!
You drove through so many areas on the back roads I grew up near and took the same routes I took to visit friends, like Tenby, Clunderwen, and Newcastle Emlyn. Loved it, great video btw.
A Dragy is what you need/want for measuring your acceleration times. From memory, there is (or will be) an updated model (DRG70C) out now or shortly. Good ol' Aussie product.
Hi Ben, the Porsche is amazing - I'm really pleased for you! I always wanted a BMW but had loads of other cars beforehand because I wasn't sure about buying one, a bit like you with the Porsche. However once you get your dream car you never look back! Love the channel and look forward to seeing you out enjoying that motor.
I have changed the coolant in my 997 (after fixing the water pump). I measured the amount of coolant drained first and used a vacuum tool like you said and to my surprise, exactly the same quantity want back in! that way I knew I had no air locks...
I worked 30yrs Porsche Newcastle parts and one thing I advise is genuine oil filter and brakes don't opt out over pennies
You really need to take this to Stuttgart and to the Porsche museum. I went there last summer while having some down time from work and it's an incredible museum. Turning up in your Porsche may also give you access to parts of the museum others may not got to sample.
Congratulations, beautiful spec 911 and love your channel. Bore scoring is caused by the Ferroprint plastic coating on the piston skirt wearing off causing aluminium to aluminium contact and metal transfer and galling. Bore score starts at the bottom of the cylinder and should be checked through the sump to verify if you are starting to have a problem. If you see scoring through the spark plug hole the wear is extremely advanced. This was a design failure and is inevitable on all 3.6 & 3.8 997.1 engines. Hartech England & Porsche Club of America both have really informative videos.
Well deserved Ben, hope you have a ton of fun with it. And thanks for creating such an enjoyable channel here on RUclips!
Lovely to see you getting on in life mate. Never got my dream car. Enjoy it for me.
Well done Ben ....it is a great car and the video was amazing: so interesting and it shows that Porsches are cars that can be worked on just like any others.
I cannot see why you would be concerned about the reaction to this video....although it is nothing like any of your others, it is still a fantastic watch, and will maybe broaden the appeal of your channel ? I personally like the more 'modern' cars you rescue, even though i am quite a bit older than you !
As I think you mentioned, a long European road trip with the 911 would be great, and of course a visit to The Ring is a must !
Don't apologize for living a dream. It's for enthusiasts like you and the former owners these cars are built for. Best wishes from Weissach👍😀
Great channel Ben, and absolutely no shame in buying your dream car. Well done!!
Aw congratulations Ben on realising a dream. Good things happen to good people. Another classic quote for the journals ‘wood rusts in the uk’ 😂
Just to say. Soooo happy for you. 🎉🎉. Your hard work is so clear in all your vids and had the pleasure of almost meeting you at the last Rustaval show. And the love for you and the channel is clear.
I got the car of my dreams in memory to my late mum and dad and it’s so precious to me for that reason.
Enjoy man and make many happy memories ❤😅
Really enjoyed that. Its less about the car and more about your enthusiasm and joy about the work your doing 🙌
Wow!! What a gorgeous and iconic motorcar. Ben, this is a great addition to your ever-growing collection. Roll on the sunny days. Hopefully, I will see you in it at Snugburys, sometime soon. 😍
Very 😎 I used to have a 996 c4s with an aero kit, 911’s always feel like they have two personalities, drive slow and it’s just like a ford fiesta, drive fast and they transform to a sports car .. great all rounder imo
I live in 🏴 some great roads, totally agree with the lack of concentration at 20mph 🤦🏻♂️
Ive watched since the ambassador, im a midlands lad and i know the feeling of being wrong i brought a moped for 1350 this week and upset myself doing it. You deserve it mate you graft and keep us entertained. Enjoy it
Great to have Tasty Classics on a Saturday. Thanks Ben. 😊
I do like to spend my Friday evenings with a take away a few beers and a nice long TCS video
Congratulations, she's a beauty, an iconic car. She cost more or less the same as our first house, it was 1985 though! 🤣
In 30 years or so when you're my age you'll look back and be so glad you did it. 👍
Your backroads driving sequence brings back visions of "A Clockwork Orange"...
Wish you and your mum the best of luck Ben you deserve it .
That Porsche is stunning
It looks awesome Ben what a car thoroughly deserved especially all the hard work you have done over the past years, you got to have some enjoyment.
Both very pleased although slightly miffed (i dont want these getting too popular/goung up up in value)... I have been searching for the right 997.1 (I personally don't like the lights/front end on 997.2 and prefer the character of the .1 engine compared to DFI .2 car too)... Although I've also been looking for the right C2s C4s in 'Red' and they're rare, typiclly command higher price than the equivalent silver, grey, blacks, etc. - But £24k is great money for one, and the verts are 100% slept on - If you get bored of this car or isn't you; please give me first option (but honestly, pleased for you, love the channel - Enjoy)...
Congratulations Ben, you deserve it. It’s gratifying to see hard work being rewarded and I do not believe anyone who knows you begrudges you this.
Superb and agree completely with your thought on getting out and buying if you can, whether its a Retro Stackable stereo system, a ticket for a gig or a new fishing rod. Awesome you can treat your Mum too as we only get one Mum!
Follow your dreams buddy and you are making them reality and what a fantastic video, all your videos are fantastic!!!! You make things real and I prefer watching your content compared to unrelatable projects, I own a MK1 Audi TT, I’ve had three Focus ST’s, watched those over and over.
I love you say your mum is looked after and you got her a Renault Captur, another car I have owned LOL!!!!
Tasty Classics is more than just a channel it’s a way of life and entertainment!!!!! Keep up the amazing work!!!!!!
Oh and nearly forgot, just dropped the wife off at her friends and what was parked in front of me dropping her off……….a black Porsche 911 Carrera 2 S!!!!!
Another masterpiece for the books 💪🙏 been dying to see the red 911 video ever since it’s been around the shop. Congrats!!! She’s a beaut
Awesome, Ben .. would buy one tomorrow, if I could convince my wife.. been trying long enough 😅 .. but you deserve it .Enjoy matey beautiful car 👌
Great episode Ben 🎉 and what a lovely 997. Congrats! Great watch thank you for posting
Cracking car.
If you put in the hours and the effort, you deserve the reward.
Well done mate.
Great video. My dream car. The channel gets better and better.
Unfortunately for the reasons you described I can’t ’buy the Porsche’.😢 I do have a 68 VW Camper tho so I guess I shouldn’t complain.
When I can afford it I’m definitely going to look for a 911. My dream car
You also want extra loud mufflers too Ben and hit Chesire and let it rip.... Lovely peeps there 😂😂😎
Ah, you would've driven past my house on your way to Tenby Ben! I live 3 miles from there. Whilst not my preferred cup of char, it's a nice looking Porsche, congrats on achieving your life's dream Ben. 👍🤙😇
Your driving skill is outstanding ben❤
Lovely car Ben. Enjoy it and keep us posted of your adventures 😎
Love porkers, Iv'e had a few over the years and carried out my Owen maintenance: Looks like you've found a well loved example. Things to look for are the two small Rad pipes behind the front wheel liners, like all German cars they are prone to leaking as the metals degrade and rust, most enthusiast tend to replace them as they get soft and fail. Im not a fan of the push fit hoses with o-rings. (Tip use a silicon type grease to lube up the snap connectors, it make life easy in the future). The front lights, There is a tool in the kit to extract them, they will need to be lubed as they rust and fail, its a nightmare to get them out if this happens. Love the front grill and Rad mod.. well with doing to future proof the car. I use the vacuum method on all my cars. Check the disc have been put on correctly, its easy to get them them in the wrong rotation if you tracking it... I made that mistake ( Get the car to a Porsche specialist as they will pick up on things you wouldn't think about like fuel cap seals and so on. other that that enjoy it.. great experience. .Love the Turbo Alloys, not keen on the Crab Claw wheels - you make me want another one.
Always entertaining to watch any of your videos so pleased for you Ben !
Nice one Ben . Another fully informative episode. Glad you have your Dream Machine ...and, it runs well for you. Looking forward to the Nurenburg Run...have a good one Man 👍👍
100% good advice regarding warm up before rev up but don’t just idle it to warm it up. Drive it very carefully for 10 mons or so - idling it cold is the slowest way to build temp and increases wear by keeping it cold for as long as possible essentially
Absolutely I hate idling a car, when I had the truck engine built the guy who built it said not to leave it idling until you'd run it in as everything wears better under load
