Allô,
Please allow me to introduce myself…
I am a very new-to-me 2017 911 owner.
Not yet familiar with the technical identifiers, it’s the “entry level” model with the automatic transmission and after driving it from Montreal, it’s been to the Ottawa dealership for the mandatory Ontario safety check. All tickety-boo with less than 70.000 km. Grey with tan leather interior.
Having just left the dealership in Mtl, I saw a rock ding in the windshield only because the setting sun caught it. That will have to wait for spring as it’s in my garage with its pyjamas on!
I am looking for a no drill front plate system that will not cost me close to $200 C. There is a US made model that I will probably be ordering and it will cost me…close to $200 C !
The welcome from local owners is overwhelming and I am looking forward to seeing them more often.
Bedtime now but before I go… étant tout à fait bilingue, vous pouvez toujours m’écrire en français et je vous répondrai dans ma langue maternelle!

And you have the older British idiom "tickety-boo" in addition to the French! I like it. :thumbup: I need to remember to use that here in the U.S. South sometime - that'll throw 'em! Hah!

Me too.
I live in Morin Heights, a Qc, and go up to Ottawa at least once sometimes twice a week, to watch my grand kids play soccer.( they are both goal keepers, and quite good). I hang around the Mitch Owens sport complex, so if you wanna hook up for a coffee, lmk.
I have an 88 928, which I love, and have a few cars that I rotate every week, to keep them used
properly.
Enjoy your new car
