Also Worth the Wait -- ED of Duke's C2S
European Delivery date finally arrived -- ordered originally in March 2014. Day 1 was Sunday the 31st with a visit to the Porsche Museum.
Porsche Plant
Sky Bridge transporting bodies from body/paint shop to assembly plant.
Porsche Museum -- Pretty darn cool.
My favorite cars in the museum:

Day 2: Delivery Day
Tour of plant -- I found the tour fascinating and could have gone on for hours. Their built in excuse to end the tour is lunch, which I skipped anyway. The assembly line broke for lunch just as we arrived at the "marriage point" of when the body and chassis come together. I asked, "How long is their lunch break?" Guide said "We must also stop for lunch." Oh well.
918's being loaded.
After lunch, delivery. Then off to Heidelberg for a quick trip.
Duke's C2S:
More to come on delivery day later.

Wow! Looks great, Duke. Cool pics. Seeing the 918's must have produced goose bumps.

Burning Brakes
Mine was already drilled and mounted before I arrived and I had no say in the matter. My state requires both front and rear so I didn't mind... But still, it was mounted without asking.
