Maurice,

Dang, that's a beautiful color. And your car with the CTR front bumper and Turbo S tail look "****" together. (that's a compliment).

Steve,
Dude, you are ridiculous. Seriously.

I absloutely love your car. Hell, I loved the last one. I was in the "ARENA RED SUCKS" camp too, that is until you came along. And you ruined it all. My perfect little world. Oh the agony......

I still prefer my Guards red mistress, but only slightly.

Now go drive your damn car for me. It is raining here in Nashville, so I am going to do 360's in the parking lot in my M5 before I get new tires Monday!!!

Jason,

I wish it had the Ruf vin... no it is a full Ruf turbo R conversion done 2 years and 16,000 miles ago. The previous owner spent ~$50k with Ruf to have all the work done. Still... its the car of my dreams.

Good job!

WOW! Gorgeous. I can't say anything but that. As many others have said - I wasn't an Arena Red fan, but your car has converted me...

And Maurice - that color is fabulous too!

Fortunately silver is the fastest color out there... it's worth at least 1 hp, right....?

24fps,

The farmhouse is in Moorpark... we still have some rural areas out here in the sticks.

Thanks all... some of you may remember my trials and tribulations of buying this car sight-unseen , and selling my beloved Waldo. Very, very traumatic... but sooooooo worth it.

Big car show tomorrow in Calabasas... I hope some of the local Porsche guys show up.

Looks great Steve! Those mirrors for some reason remind me of the flushmount turn signals I put on my sportbike.

Thanks, folks .. I really like the combination as well, or I would not have spent ***censored*** GBP on doing it .. I also need to update my avatar, it does not show my entirely cosmetic upgrade to RS brakes (just try to out-brake me .. !!) ..

BTW, Steve, next time you are doing 150 mph plus, you can rest assured that your aerodynamics are excellent despite not having that Porsche wind tunnel 'Certificate of Excellence' .. .. rock solid is the best description ..

cheers, Maurice
