Thanks Lee for organising this. Was great event - loved it 👍 Great video summary too.
Thank you Toby for your support of the channel, it means a lot. As a 'super thanks' supporter of two of my videos now, I'd love to know what you'd like to see from the channel going forward, and I'll try to make it happen.
@@9WERKSTV just more of the same please: interviews with interesting people from Porsche, mixing honest car reviews (not just fanboy-ism like some other channels), newer & older models, keeping the 996-love & championing the everyman & woman as you always do 👍
i've been saying for a year the 996 will be recognized as a seminal version of the 911: first water-cooled, helped save porsche from bancruptcy, so analogue enough to enjoy (no cheesy tiny flat screens)
Absolutely agree
As a 996 owner I love this. I took my car out of storage after 9 years and enjoying it every weekend now.
This is superb to hear, Matt. They are made to be driven.
Glad you’re putting miles on it!
I absolutely LOVE my 996... the full-on Porsche ownership at stupidly-low prices. Now over 2 years of ownership and no issues whatsoever. Pure bliss!!!
Great to hear, I'm pleased 996 ownership is everything you wanted it to be.
I can say the same 🙂
@@996Revival Awesome - just sub'd ya
@@ksteak27 thanks!
Thanks for showing us around! 996 are aging like fine wine. 👍🏻
Truth!
Just entered the 996 world earlier today and feel like the luckiest man in the world. Found a pristine super well documented, very stock 1999, even has 14 pages documenting the IMS fix he had done every step of the way.
Those were some terrific cars. Thank you for sharing.
This was an awesome video! Did not realize the rareness of the millennium spec 996. I cannot wait to get my 996!
Love that C4S 🥰
Hi, thanks for this wonderful video. 996 are really great cars. At some point I have to come to you on the island to attend such a great event.
Greeting from Germany Nürnberg
Thanks Lothar, you are always welcome here for a Fried Eggs event!
Hi, It was a real pleasure to meet you at this event and I will treasure the memory forever. I am the young journalist. As soon as I saw this video up, I knew I had to watch it. Keep it up and love it!
Ned it was a pleasure to meet you at Fried Eggs Anniversary, I was so chuffed to see a young man acting on his clear passion for automotive journalism. I can say I knew you before you were famous! If you'd ever like any of your work published on 9WERKS, email me hello@9werks.co.uk.
I like that you back up the fried eggs years, if it wasn’t for the redesign success and sales some say that there might not even be a Porsche Co. so I like them all they’re like kids doesn’t matter they’re all part of the Porsche family that’s my view. I have a base Boxster 986 20000 & 2014 911 S 991.1.
Great job! No turbo S around too bad would have looked nice with the ME and 40th.
Great spot, Francis. A Turbo S was the one model I just couldn't source for the event.
Superbly organised event. Very friendly bunch there along with some fantastic vehicles, from an era of small, nimble and analogue porkers. Really good job Lee.
I’ve found the 996 crowd to be pretty friendly, too
Wow, what a great display!
Thanks Franz, kudos to the owners for bringing their cars out in the rain.
I am glad I found this. Would love to come to this event when is the next one and when.
I have owned my 99C4 4 weeks now.
996 is the best choice I ever made. I love mine. Happy Motoring!
Great to hear, William. Enjoy!
Same for me😁
Great episode! GT3.1 non RS is an awesome car for the streets.
Thanks, and agreed.
Beautuful to see 911/996👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Nice video! Good to see these meets going on all over the globe🙂 Well done💪🏼
Lee, what a great video! My 2001 Carrera Cabriolet and I have been growing closer and closer over the past two years, I love this car! This past winter season she ran super in the snow too! A set of fresh Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4s and we had a blast covering some miles in about 4 inches of packed snow before they got the roads cleared away. I see nothing but better days ahead for the 996 series, I am so glad I picked mine up when I did, the pricing has already risen a fair amount since July of 2020 when I picked her up for US $17.5, but aside from the pricing she's just a great, reliable daily driver that puts a smile on my face every day I drive her! Again, great video Lee, thanks for showcasing so many beautiful 996s!
Great video! Nice to see my front end feature between the two GT3's! Looking forward to the net one.
Thanks Simeon, great to chat on the day and top work for deciding to keep the car!
Your green car is a standout, the glacier white one too. Other colors are pretty standard, even GT3's, amazing but they're Carrera White. Color is so important.
Egglamps for the win!! :-)
Love this!
🙌😁 nice wrap up, thanks for putting the event on buddy 👍
I've only just seen this, thank you so much for your kindness, it is greatly appreciated!
Quality as always 👍👍👍
Love Cosmic 😍
Nice video 9Werks. I wish I could bring by 996 Turbo Cab out that way (I am in the Niagara Falls region). Your Little Irish is my guy though. It's like a piece of art to me.
Great overview, really nice to see so many together. I had an SC for a while, 1981 GP White... ahhh, definitely regret selling that one - anyway, thinking about 911 ownership again and the 996 is where I've landed...you know these cars very well, I'm on the C4S vs Turbo page - beyond turbo is out of the budget and the wide body loveliness is keeping me away from narrow version - should I rethink? Anything I'm missing? Wondering about an Esprit instead :o
I just picked up an 03 Targa and while I’m still scared of ownership long term I’m very happy. It’s just as fun as my dad’s 997 but $20k cheaper because the headlights aren’t a perfect circle
Awesome little vid :)
Fantastic video. Loved watching it. It raises the question, what is the runt of the litter of the 911 range then?
Thanks Julian, hope you're well. I'm not sure there is a runt of the 911 litter any more.
There is no such thing 🙂
Great video, how do we find out about these meet ups?
Best to follow me on Instagram Marc, I'm @9werks_lee
Yes great vid
Thanks John.
nice
Hello,
Thank you for filming this event, it's a good thing to highlight this 911 gen which is full a talents and quality ( I'm a 911 3.6 cab owner 😉).
Thank you again for your video's contents leading to say : don't speak about 996... test it before and speak after!
Greeting from France
Cheers
Thank you, glad to hear you're enjoying 996 ownership!
What about the 2005 996 turbo S coupe ? Thanks for assembling these cars and presenting them. Next time invite me and I'll show you another interesting model.
My next Porsche will be a 996, as early a car as I can find. They have aged so well. I had a Gen 2 997 some years ago, it was a great car but lacked some rawness
Great cars, great video!
Very cool in deed but shame no gt3 cs, my mate has 1 in speed yellow
Turbo cab is not there
Now one for the Benelux Lee would be Great!
Keen to make this happen!
Lee let me now when and where end of next month would be nice Lee in the Netherlands?
I would have liked to go to this event. But send my car from Madrid.
I was a few km from Madrid last week in my 996 40 Anniversary! Saw no other 911 during my 2,000 km road trip around Spain so it would have been good to have seen yours!!!
It was, though, a most fantastic road trip in a truly wonderful classic Porsche.
How to I get to know when next fried egg meet is?
Follow me on Instagram @9werks_lee.
@@9WERKSTV Will try and make it with the gen1 Carrera 2 3.7 Hartech 👍
Finally
Thank you, to each his own, I haven’t still developed taste for 996. I love 964,997 and 992s.
Same here but also love 993s
It's good to be different!
Even a blind squirrel will find a nut
I'm a 996 Turbo owner, but I have to say I like the headlights better on the .1 cars over the .2 cars. I have come close on two occassions getting out of the turbo and into a .1 GT3, not just for the headlights but for the sound of that engine. However, and it's a big however ... you can't beat boost IMO. These turbos are so easy to get big hp out of, and that boost is addictive.
A collection of the worst 911 generation. Cheap interiors, epic catastrophic mechanical failures and ungainly styling that Porsche quickly corrected in subsequent models. Sure, it’s a good drivers car but so is a bulletproof Toyota 86. Says it all really.
That's pretty overstated....I'd have to disagree on the interiors; they may be a bit outdated looking (as most 24 year old cars would) but it is less plasticy to me than later models and of better materials than a 993. "epic catastrophic mechanical failures"....ok, the failure rate of single row IMS bearings was disturbingly high, but that is manageable if yours has not grenaded. There are still many on the road and they are beginning to appreciate.
You’re just regurgitating 22yo journalism. I’ve heard that for years, and yet the generation had epic sales figures and people gobbled them up. I MUST be the ugliest; Car & Driver said it was!
Maybe I’m just not brave enough to own one myself. It’s possibly the last small 911 which is valuable. Subsequent generations just got fat and heavy
@@julietaylor2685 id say the second gen 997 is a safe bet, too. The interiors are nicer with more gadgets and they’re still smaller than the 991!
My '04 Mezger turbo is as bulletproof as they come and I'll run circles around a Toyota 86 all day long. Standard all leather interior isn't cheap at all and I get compliments everywhere I go on the styling of the car.
