For those wondering about location, this was filmed at the Rhigos mountain, literally where the South Wales Valleys meets the bottom of the Brecon Beacons. It’s one hell of a road (despite the potholes and surprise bumps) and that is a hell of a car. Absolutely well done Alex, I hope you love and cherish it, it’s so good to see you’ve been able to achieve your dream!!

Great pick this 993, awesome color and a smart move to get a driver with miles so you can just add to them without having to second guess if you should, when it was a garage kept low mileage example. Could see the joy and emotion, very excited and happy for you Alex.

So pleased for you. I had a 993 Carrera 2 in 1995 when living in Germany. What a car! I had a commute that had a short stretch of unrestricted Autobahn on the way home. Changing down from 6th to third and running it from 60mph to 150mph was a daily occurrence. That chainsaw howl from the aircooled engine was intoxicating. Trying to drive it on summer tyres in the snow was quite amusing too - more time looking out the side windows than the windscreen...

Wether you see this or not I just want to say a big congratulations on achieving this goal Alex, I’ve been a subscriber to your channel and seen it grow, always love tuning in to a video of yours but this video in particular has really connected with me. I drive a mk5 gti and it’s my pride and joy, I was passenger in the car for 2 years before i bought it. Walked to work and back for 6 months and saved most of my monthly minimum wage pay to buy it. The car is one of the few things that really makes me happy and although now 5 years later I have been in a very bad situation,the car is falling apart and roof being complete destroyed with laquer peel I’m scared to lose it, although I cannot upgrade it right now it lights me up inside just like you mentioned in this video and I have a strong sentimental attachment to it. So this video really connected with me! Once again man a big well done and congratulations and keep up the great work you guys. Please keep the content coming! Kind regards, Dan.

As a 1996 993 C2 owner (who does his own maintenance) the typical leaks are doable. The lower valve cover gaskets are the usual culprit coz they leak onto the heat exchangers. Timing chain covers and varioram resonace valve are other potentials. Also don't overlook some pillock who didn't tighten the smaller oil filter properly. Good luck! (Yes, that exhaust note is... sonorous!)

@methaniel Possible. However, I'd first check the age and condition of the three 'fan belts' (drive belts). If even one is iffy, you should replace all three. I've done this myself. Actually when they have all three off, and can thus spin the alternator freely, THAT will surely indicate the condition of the bearings, housing etc.

I'm genuinely happy for you Alex! You seem like a top bloke, that deserves all the great things that have happened to you, all the opportunities, all the praise and nice comments! Keep up the hard and very good work that you do, and on to the next dream!

Congratulations Alex on getting the dream car. Can tell by your voice that’s a man in love. Dreams can indeed be achieved. I built my way up from a £250 Skoda fabia to one of my dream bikes. Not everyone’s idea of a dream bike but ticked all the boxes for myself. Work hard play harder build up those dreams in to reality. Love the camaraderie between yourselves. Look forward to many more videos.

Finally! Ever since the podcast I was waiting for this video, although we got sneak peaks in other videos I was wondering about a full reveal video. So proud of you mate! Keep going! You are an inspiration!!

Alex I did a similarish thing with an SLK 350 R171 back in December. It's a very high spec example, possibly the highest spec in the country, including speed sensitive steering from the AMG 55. A lot less money, but still a decent exhaust note and the thrill of driving a special car. I absolutely love it and am currently bringing it back fully up to scratch.

One of the greatest videos on this channel so far. Its simplicity and the cinematic cuts and the right colour correction make it absolutely beautiful. Well done Rory well done boys.

Fantastic video Alex, capturing the sheer joy to be had in a 993. Love mine, the fun never gets old. It will cost you to keep it going, but it's worth it.. Plenty of smiles per miles.

This is really what cars are about. It’s how they make us feel, how they can pull us from horrible places and put such a huge smile on our faces. Congratulations Alex

Congratulations on your purchase from one 993 lover to another! I’m also probably one of not many who can match you on mileage (212k and rising daily). Had mine for 5 years and still enjoy it as much as the day I bought it!

My dad had a 993 C2S when I was a kid back in the late 1990’s. Easily the best car he ever had, and he definitely shouldn’t have sold it!! Watching this vid of the 993 brings back fantastic memories of my childhood. Congrats Alex and thankyou!!

As the owner of a "high mileage hero" myself ('02 Alfa 156 GTA with 263,000km and counting) I commend you. Nothing wrong with high mileage - by definition the car must be pretty good, and had sufficient care and attention, just to become one. Use mine every day in peak hour commuting, 300km a week. Love it.

Congrats Alex! Hearing you talk about your dream car while driving it at a rapid clip through the mountains is truly incredible, and everything you said echoes how I felt buying my own long-term dream car last year. The sound of a flat 6 that you've waited so much of your life to control is a truly special feeling (as I found out 6 months ago myself, a 3.3L unit in the front); I hope yours gives you many more trouble-free miles! Great car with a great personal story behind it; that's what it's all about, isn't it?

Congratulations on this huge achievement! In my childhood a guy had one in the same exact color and I loved it so much. The video itself is perfect, brings back memories of the old top gear. Can't wait to see what the projects are for it.

Brilliant stuff! Love this generation of 911, the 993 isnsuch a lovely shape. Absolutely agree that massive power/speed isnt necessary, tactility and atmosphere is much more important in the real world on normal roads. I'm a TVR head for exactly the same reasons as Alex likes this Porsche. Simple, raw, exhilerating, good honest drivers cars. Long may they live. ❤

I love this channel for exactly this video. It hits on such a personal level. I had this same reaction when I first got my E46 M3 , and I know I’ll have the same visceral reaction when I get my ultimate dream car, a S54 M Coupe.
