Beautiful car.. (I would take the M3 tho )

Congratulations,
Looks like a fine example. I think mine would look like that if I ever get all the dead bugs off it. (Went for a long drive through the countryside yesterday.)
I would love to see your car at the rennlist BBQ. Such low miles. I'm jealous.

If not, I'm sure we can get you out to another of our gatherings. We seem to be gathering speed here.

Matt - best place to drive your 951? take 281 south of houston past the south loop and there is excellent driving roads down south around the south tollroad (can't remember the exact highway names now). i went to medical school at UT-Houston and when i got tired of studying, i would always take the 951 out south and open it up. that's where i took my 160 mph picture - at 2 am. the houston pca is awesome, too - lots of great people and cars.

Geo,
Bring the CD Player with you Saturday.
Matt,
You're missing a great party!
Best twisties in the Houston area are out near Brookshire and down toward Fulshur. Some nice wide open spots as well.

joseph - thanks for the heads up, I'll have to check that out one night but I don't think it would be such a smart move going that fast right now haha, cops would pretty much bust me on anything they can find...(at such a young age) but 160mph <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> !!
icat - jeez making me so jealous!!! I'll need to learn the limits of the car first...but next time!!
