I assume that would be Martina Navratilova :-)

Freeman, was it a 993 made for her? If I understand correctly she had a 959 in Germany?

whatever you like. I only know what I was told at the factory. You must know more.

I even saw the interior of a car being constructed for Maria Navratolova out of snake skin. If you can ever do it, pick it up at the factory. It is special.
I wonder. Ship my 993 back to Stuttgart, get a service or something, then pick it up. Not quite like getting it brand new but kind of fun and lots less than buying a new 997 and feeling it depreciate as you drive through the gates.

There's no current one. After a while I finally figured that proverbial free milk thing

PS. Really, don't like blonds. Don't like them. No sir, don't like them at all

Some great advice here. But screw the Autobahn (too much traffic, plus lots of speed limits); you should drive the N'ring. I did a few days on the ring and it's simply amazing. A totally different level from any racetrack you'll ever experience in the U.S. Yes, it's that good. We drove it in a rental mini.
