911 is truly my happy place - I'll use any excuse to drive it, whether 3 minutes to get milk, or hours to visit a customer. Work for a Californian tube amp manufacturer, and often seen shoe-horning amp heads and combos into the 911. To date, current record is fitting the following in:
2 Heads (rear shelf, rear seats down), 1 combo (frunk), 2 roller banners (in the back), gear bag, also in the back, various pedals and a coat. Passenger seat still free so could have fit a combo, head, cab or rack on there. The ultimate practical sports car.
I love good stories and yours fits the bill.Deckard26354 wrote: Sat Aug 22, 2026 7:47 am Matthew, UK, Buckinghamshire. 2021 Jet Black Metallic C4S Coupe (992.1). Daily, so always filthy, DMS map (+98 BHP), Dissident fixed ducktail.

James, welcome to Carpokes!J7-O wrote: Sat Aug 22, 2026 12:59 pm I am James from West Vancouver, B.C. Canada. I am new to Porsche. I have been a corvette fan all my life but decided to try Porsche - 2023 911 4S coupe - very low mileage with too may options to mention. I have since had a ARP stage 1 tune, a Akrapovic exhaust, OEM side skirts and Forgelite lightweight wheels fitted - designed for my car with the proper offset. Quite happy with it. Still getting use to the 911 and look forward to interacting with those on this forum.
Super cool mods James! I think you'll love the 911. The more you drive it the more you'll appreciate its many features and attributes.J7-O wrote: Sat Aug 22, 2026 12:59 pm I am James from West Vancouver, B.C. Canada. I am new to Porsche.

Thank you! Just discovered your 992 door card replacement info - Gold! Planning to take mine off as it's getting rattly, and bit nervous about messing it up.blueline wrote: Sat Aug 22, 2026 8:37 amI love good stories and yours fits the bill.Deckard26354 wrote: Sat Aug 22, 2026 7:47 am Matthew, UK, Buckinghamshire. 2021 Jet Black Metallic C4S Coupe (992.1).

Also, the line about "any excuse to drive it" is what it's all about. Very nice!! Welcome to Carpokes!
