WOW. That is one gorgeous speedster you've built there JP.

The lines of SpeedArena look incredible wrapped in the Arena red paint. I hope to see her in person one day to get the full affect. Arena red is way more beautiful in the flesh than pics can do justice.

Thanks for making the world a bit more beautiful.

Love it!

I agree, it's hard to photograph and get the same depth and highlights as the paint presents in person ... and thanks for the kind words :-)

A little rest stop after some break-in mileage coming out of Bodega Bay heading into the Russian River area ... Odometer had just turned 31,000 :-) Only 250 miles to go and I can open her all the way up ..!

^^^^JP, after a long few days on the road in the P-truck, I'm not sure whether I like you or loathe you.

Is that pronounced like Jim Carey did it in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" when he's flipping through the Whoville phone book and describing how he feels about various residents ...???? 'Hate, hate, hate. REALLY Despise! LOAAAATHHHHE ENTIRELY!! !!!!!

Why dont we all pool our money together to buy about 5 cars from 9M, in varying configurations - RS, Speedster, etc. We can keep them somewhere central in the U.S., like say Texas . And then we will create a time share model with them where we all get a set # of units of time with mileage limitations per year. They have these exotic car time share-type clubs...why cant we do it with rare 9M modified 993s?....

You know JP, with 250 miles of open road in front of you don't you find it amazing how you managed to stop perfectly in line with the discarded green plastic bottle in the verge? How lucky must that make you feel?

Seriously dude, we're missing you & your car already, hence we can't wait to start on the next one. Enjoy, you lucky.......

... Ha! Yes, 7-UP bottle carefully placed to create the 'Mis-en-Scene' of the shot For some reason, we didn't pick it up and toss it under the clamshell like good California residents should have ...

Hey, if you miss me and my car soooo much, grab Sarah and get your butt's on a charter into SFO ... I just found a place that sells Lobster rolls that I KNOW is on our diet :-)
