Default Happy Canada day...and picked up my RS

After a long flight, almost missed connection, lost luggage, we arrived in Stuttgart.
Delivery went very smoothly and uneventfully. There was a 911r parked there along with couple of GT4..handed car over to Sandro who was kind enough to pick up the car to get wrapped and return it at the end of the day (big thank you to Schwabenfolio for going above and beyond!)
Factory tour was a private tour...very cool...best was one of the workers driving his electric cart flat out...had a turbo S badge on the back...lol

Counted easily over a dozen GT3 RS being built and finished including a yellow one on a transport truck

Drove from Stuttgart to Trento today...hit the mother of all thunder/lightening storm with torrential rain ... Discovered that the seats are extremely comfy for extended periods but are a pain to get in and out of in a tight parking spot. Suspension is very nicely damped and not harsh at all in default mode. Auto makes the engine lug in 7th. Scraped the bottom of front lip pulling into hotel cuz I forgot about the lift ...sigh...

Headed to lake Garda for few days then working our way up to Belgium... Spa specifically

Halfway through breaking and will be starting to gradually increase revs , just in time for Spa

This car gets a lot of thumbs up from random people ... Including one biker chick who ran out in front of me so her SO could take a pic of her and the car as I drove by...and a couple of kids who chased me on their bikes for several blocks...

Videos cannot discribe the vertical g-loads at Eau Rouge.... Compressed into your seat and then light over the top...Blanchimont and Pouhon also got my attention!!!

4 other 991 RS there today plus older ones and a gaggle of GT4. Also an Enzo and P1 GTR ...
