Congrats on the car Larry and my condolences on the loss. I'm hoping to see your GTS at Alice's or Canepa once across the pond (and states).

Fuc*^%ing awesome!!! Congrats Larry I can't imagine you got much sleep last night.

As an aside, assuming those were Lava Orange cars, what was your impression of the color in person? I ordered mine sight unseen and although I wouldn't change the build (couldn't even if I wanted to), I'm anxious to hear how it looks in the flesh. Thanks in advance.

actually I'm not sure they were Lava Orange ... because they were very Orange!
a bit like the 997.1 RS Orange ... so they may have been a PTS color...

I caught a glimpse of an RS in LO ... it looked good ... but was not able to take a photo ... I will look out for it when I drop the car off and try to grab a snap

Congratulations Larry - that's an awfully sleek looking "Macan"!

Hey, what happened with the front plate? Did they end up drilling the bumper or is that temporary?

Bummer. I'll have to get the download from you so I can either be prepared for the argument or to wave the white flag.

beautiful car Larry ... have fun on the ring.
Sorry to hear about your dog.

Btw ... you urgently need to update your signature! You can put it back once you drop her off again ;-)

Thanks Larry. I'm just looking for your real life impressions, pictures would be gravy though.
