Thanks for all the kind comments and congratulations, everyone! Looking forward to meeting up with you San Diego guys soon.
Since a couple folks have mentioned it, I'll throw in a picture of my Gaillo Triplo Strato 458 for good measure (there is an album in my profile with more pics if you'd like)! Can't wait to get these beauties together for some photos eventually.
Bring it out to RSF C&C tomorrow. I would love to check it out!!!

I saw your GT3 Touring, Chewy (and love it!), but was parked on the other side and took off not too long after you arrived. I’ll be around with it though.
Good talking to you Jordan! Thank you.

That’s going to look amazing. Hope to see it! Post it here when ready if you want!

There is another Oslo 991.2 GT3 around us. I’ve talked to the owner a few times since he lives near me in Little Italy. Silver wheels but with ceramics.
I don’t think there’s a single driving road in this county I’m not very familiar with so give me a shout if you ever need recs or want to go for a drive!

I think that car was at one time for sale by Carlsen in Palo Alto ...

I saw an Oslo Blue Speedster with PCCBs at RSF cars & coffee two weekends ago, but haven't seen another GT3 one around yet. Will keep an eye out.
And thanks for the offer - I may take you up on that. I do the same drives all the time - I need some variety in my life!
[QUOTE=IlikeBond;18190818]Little update - I took delivery of her yesterday! Color is even better in person.
I didn't realize the engine is still in the break-in period, and got an auto-rev limiter when I hit 7k rpm on a ramp at one point. Whoops!
I love the color on that car, it's beautiful!! To my knowledge there is not a rev limiter associated with mileage or break-in on these cars. Odds are you didn't t have the oil temperature up to proper operating temps and that will cause a rev limiter to kick in at 7k to prevent damage to the engine. There is a blue engine light near the bottom of the right gauge that stays illuminated until about 135 degrees of oil temp to give you a warning of cool oil temp. Warming these and most cars up before exercising them is very good insurance for a long and healthy engine life. I always wait until about 180-190 degrees of oil temp before putting any strong loads or more than 3k rpms on the engine.

I think you are exactly right about that, but I have learned my lesson and promise I won't do it again!
It was weird, b/c I had been driving quite a while (like 10-15 min), but in stop-and-go traffic, so I guess it really hadn't come up to temperature. I'm attuned to that now though.
