Absolutely love the PTS exterior colour! The black LEDs go fantastic with it!

If I could have added PCCB in a color other than yellow, that's a yes. I was on the fence about painting the lower mirrors black, but can always have them wrapped if I want a change. Other than that, nope!

Today was the first day driving this machine. We are observing the proper break in warnings, which we'll leave up for interpretation. We only hit 142 on the autobahn today, since we we can't go over 4500 rpms... Or maybe I did...

They actually did a cast of plaster to ensure the fit was correct. I asked for some wiggle room to account for extra beer, schnitzel, and pretzels that I planned to consume on an hourly basis...

Picture of the process coming over in PM

Joe. That paint is so beautiful. What do they charge to wrap it at the factory and what product do they use?

I'm too nice, and gave away a couple of laps. It made her happy, but NEVER again will I make that mistake. Needless to say, Nurburgring is all mine!








Still one of my favorite P cars ever, until yesterday.





the color changes in different lighting environments.





first drive!

Thank all. We had a great drive to Strasbourg France for the night.

We had to make a quick pit stop at the dealership for a little service .

After that, we decided to drive the Black Forest on B500 towards Baden-Baden. What a great road! It felt like some of the Swiss Mountian passes, without a ton of switchbacks. Nice curves at spirited speeds...

We ended up in Düsseldorf for the night before my guest needs to fly ou in the morning. We did a last minute booking at a brand new hotel in the old city. Spectacular setting.

I will post more pictures tomorrow. Especially the one of the car parked in the hotel courtyard, inclusive of a fountain, like a rock star...
