Hi,

Just wanted to give a thumb's up for Bob. I purchased some brake parts from him. Great person to deal with.
Bob, good luck with the sale and keep us updated on the new car.

Cheers,
Geoff

That's a good price without all of the mods - add in the mods and it's an awesome deal! GLWS!

You know the deal, you get the mod bug and you just can't leave it alone - you have to make it better. I tried to price to sell quickly to minimize strife (happy wife=happy home). The kid fits, she is just wanting more in the way of NEW and perhaps newer safety design.

She hasn't ruled out a newer Metzger block.

Wow! A steal!! Love the blue interior. I've seen a couple of new supercars (Zonda R, Veyron SS) rocking blue interiors these days. Very cool!

Oh yeah, my interior's blue too

If the 993 has to go, GT3 is a good replacement.

That's just about the smokinest deal I've seen in a while (an easy $10K in mods/upgrades....probably more) on a car with not-low/not-high miles. I'd say GLWS but you don't need it.
