This is my 996. As Luke said, there was nothing wrong with the tyres fitted, as it’s been stored away from the sun, but they were a dozen years old. I doubt I’ll use up a set of tyres anytime soon & so invested in new ones. Also, if I was to sell it in a few years, a next owner might understandably baulk. The car wasn’t cheap, but in all respects, it looks, smells and drives like a year-old 996. The 40th anniversary edition cars have that gorgeous GT silver paint, a more powerful motor and it now has a very good spec.

Nice car. I'd have changed the wheels as well as new tyres.

@@John_Wood_Apparently they’re a special finish, shot blasted and polished. I don’t think there’s a clearcoat. Just been out for a lovely sunny afternoon drive in the Kentish countryside. It sounds wonderful and everything is spot on.

You all consistently have the *best* 996/997 content out there. Thanks for keeping it up. Would love someday to see an episode where you showcase the cars that you personally own and drive. I'm imagining that Ollie keeps an old Hilux around that he never has to lay a glove on...

I'm delighted to see your business and channel go from strength to strength, well done guys you deserve it!

So very true! I remember when the work area only had one lift. Luke and Ollie have the formula worked out: hard work + knowledge + honesty + value = success.

Nice one guys. Good video but the dogs stole the show I'm afraid 😃

My vizsla loves to help me in the garage also, they must love the 996.

Wow! I’ve been watching your videos for years. Not in any particular order. In fact one last night was when you first switched over from outsourcing maintenance to having a 2 post lift fitted. Now you’ve got four 😊

New workshop looks great. Think you should give Hector a job at FGP guarantee this video will get the most likes 👍

Great video lads, so easy to follow and very informative

Ollie makes it look easy - but he's probably done 100 IMS bearings. 😁

Only thing I don't like about a 40th is the chrome alloy. Really surprised it didn't come with PSE from the factory, too. I have a C4S with PSE. I replaced my knackered silencers with Top Gear silencers and added the 200 cell X pipe cats. That sounds way better than the factory setup, in my opinion.

Workshop floors looks good, anti slip resin? You’ve come along way in a short space of time . Good that you keep investing in your business .

Silly question but does PCCM installed in one country work in another?

I think so, but you’d need to change the tiny memory card in the front to suit the country.
