VERY COOL! Tell her she did a GREAT JOB! I have a cake tin in the shape of a 911 and have yet to try it and now I can't


HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I remember my 40.... Sort of. I was on the road with my team (reiser-callas). They got me tipsy to say the least. Don't remember how many Martini's they ordered for me at the hotel after the race, probably 40, and I never had a martini before. Next morning?? I ALMOST missed the plane home. On the way to the airport I got to feeling really, really bad so they stopped at a hotel (I think it was the Ritz Carlton in Toronto) and I crawled into a bathroom at the hotel and I told them to leave me there. I told them I'd get myself a room there on my nickle and fly home the next day.... Craig Stanton was so concerned he almost blasted into he womens restroom to rescue me when I didn't come out. They didn't leave me there and I made the flight. Slept all the way home. I'm laughing about it now, wasn't then.

Never felt like that before and never will again if I can help it.
They thought it was funny... except for Craig. MEN!!!


DO NOT DO WHAT I DID on my 40th.

Enjoy your 40th and have a Great Day!

Mike,

Happy birthday!!

However, you need to accompany your wife back to the dealer where she got the 993 from, to address the following points.

1. The spoiler is clearly a generic part
2. The tyres are not N rated.
3. The windshield has been poorly fitted and needs looking at.
4. Try and negotiate the fitting of a front protection bar, as the front spoiler is sitting very low.
5.I think you need to remove the spacers on the wheels, but that's a personal choice.

Otherwise, it looks pretty clean, although I prefer speed yellow to citrus yellow.
Your wife is a very generous lady.

Have fun on your 40th!!
