Maybe 9m should sponsor that mile of highway & organise a Porsche Litter Pick event?

We'd be there tomorrow but for missing Warrington Wolves win their way to their first Grand Final. Besides, who would look after Woody?

GO WOLVES! (I was wearing my new T shirt Thursday when I drove SpeedArena to Sonoma ...)

Hey, I know Woody's girlfriend would like him to come and stay a bit ... besides, Auntie Jan and Uncle Tony miss him too ....

Seriously dude, we're missing you & your car already, hence we can't wait to start on the next one. Enjoy, you lucky.......
Colin, hope you will find your inner peace soon....

Hey, I don't want to 'overstay' my welcome here ... I've been taking pictures on each drive out while I'm racking up break-in miles ... I'll post some more in a week or so ... You know what it's like to see a thread pop up every day .. sometimes it's just 'enough already!' ... besides, you're going to see her in person very very soon ... and get to put your hands all over the place ..

Have to agree. I should just print out the photos you first posted so I don't have to keep scrolling though them. The transformation is amazing.

Here's the really amazing thing about that ... I have over 700 images that Colin sent me documenting every step and every inch of the process ... another amazing 'service' that 9m provided so that an overseas customer would feel comfortable and be able to stay in the loop .. Skype calls to the U.K. are 2.3cents a minute, BTW ... I know I racked up several hours of phone time over the 6 months that the car was being transformed, and I'm still working on my second $20 Skype credit!!

Luckily, a picture's worth a thousand words ^^ more, please!
(with or without a discarded green plastic bottle in the verge)
Speedster talk's terrific, photos are fun, one in your garage is better, driving's best
Feels great, huh? Congrats!

Graeme on the left is our valet specialist, Graham on the right you should know already. Must be a pure coincidence that both wear the same colour G uniforms?

Congratulations JP on a truly stunning Speedster. The fact that you've chosen to stick with period correct turbo twists makes it my favorite since it looks like it has come straight out of a Porsche brochure and imo really adds to the "what if Porsche really had done a 993 Speedster back in '97 line of thought".
