I still love the 993. Such nice lines.

Amazingly, I've never sat in one, but when I see one close up, it looks small.

You're not wrong. It *is* small. That's a narrow body 991 vs. a 993TT. And, of course, because it's so tucked in and rounded, it's visually even smaller.

In front of his own garage isn't bad either. Which kind of pisses me off because I'm very jealous.

OTOH, because I know where Nick lives, I also now know where that is and nothing will be stopping me from driving my own car down there for photos.

Except the not having a car to do it with part.

I mean in a sense that makes it easier to take pics there.
