Default I envy me etc. ( Now with new and improved jpgs).

Newly delivered car, post first round of mods (RoW suspension, clear corners, HIDs, 4300K fogs, AJ steering wheel, pedals, stereo, hardwired V1 . . .).

Sorry about the poor photos- I had to downsize and downrez them and am not that good at it. (Can someone assist me so I can post better photos? The originals are pretty good)

Beauty is in the eye etc. . . .

One other mod not stated- anyone notice?

Yur right, those pics are teh suxor.

The easiest way to resize, resample, and crop pics is Irfanview free shareware-- www.irfanview.com . Just open the pic and go to >Image >Resize/Resample

Congrats on the car. Looks like a nice one. I don't think I envy myself. But I do feel lucky every time I'm behind the wheel and recognize that most people will never have the experience I'm having. Either by choice or financial reality. So I know what you are saying. Look forward to seeing some more pics when you get them loaded.

I think you know what I'm trying to say; I love there car and was lucky to find it. I don't covet a TT or 997- I have the car I want- thats all.

When i first got the car everyone wanted pics and I thought why- just another silver one. Anyway, sad to say I used Irfan but patently did not know what I was doing. Another Rennlister is assisting me.

There are a few nice country roads here with no practical speed limit and if there was one its not inforced; 50-80 (bursts of 120mph but not forlong- maybe a mile). Theres a lovely sweeping left/right that I used to do at about 70 in my S4 close to the edge. Just did it y'day in the new car at 80 with a little more to go. Nice.

Pretty much the same scenary over and over but as far as scenary goes it ain't bad. I don't tire (pun intended) of it ;-)

Ritter...very nice ride. Soon you will need to remove the engine tray, clean all cosmoline off the underside and suspension, etc.etc...... I too have problems with the resizing stuff....hopefully the irfanview.com will help.

Congrants from the board. regards, gary
