There is still time for you to get help, although your peers might not be of much assistance on this board.

Thank you very much guys.

Frank, I'm in Brisbane - yep, in Oz ;-)

Just washed it this morning. Always amazes me how you don't really know a car until you have washed it a couple of times. All the good things and, if you are unlucky, the bad things, seem so obvious then.

I have often thought that before buying any car I should ask the vendor to let me wash it before I make my first offer! Not wanting to appear an absolute loon I have not quite got around to doing that yet.

If you ask me, you look a little young to be driving. Not to mention, you'll never reach the pedels from the back seat...

Did your car originally come with a tail? i ask because your Carrera badge sits low, like mine, and mine oriignally had a tail...

Beautiful car!

Thanks Dan !

I had the same feelings at first when I picked up my Targa.

It wasn't until a few months later I got used to the quirks and found how much more fun it is to drive above 4000 RPM.

Beautiful car and a nice write up! It sure didn't take you long to get to know her did it? When I read about folks shifting at 3500 rpms, I just cringe and wonder why they even have a sports car in the first place
