Now, regarding that diseased round heeled smurfette...do you need anymore evidence than one girl smurf amongst ALL those other guys...and they're ALL BLUE for christ sake.
Of course, it is a very beautiful shade of blue.

Tony - car looks great. I always enjoy reading your adventures! Who did you sell the TT to? You never advertised on here, was it another rennlister?

Then, like anything in life for me, my excitement started to wear off for a couple reasons. 1. I can only do so many spirited stop light to stop light runs before I ask myself, what's next? I was starting to question the purpose of what I was doing. 2. Like a drug addiction analogy, it takes more excitement to get that same level of satisfaction. So, I start taking unnecessary risks to get same high as I did before. I'm just being honest.
I then met some Porsche track junkies who have lots of money and toys. GT3RS, 6GT3.. who like going to a AA meeting tell me they have experienced the same frustration of "what's next?" and at what level of safety am I willing to take on at my expense or that of others. Now remember, I live in open space, lots of room. However, it's not isolation either.
So I made the decision to keep my love of the 993 going by selling my 993TT and buying two cars. This cab and a dedicated track car. So, I get to scratch the itch with projects on my Cab, while also scratching that itch for a raised level of excitement while in the appropriate venue of the track.

BTW, I hope your wife doesn't read this post, she may not sleep again !!!

Excellent. What I like to see.
A man with a 993TT decided that the only way UP was to sell the tt and buy a 993 CAB. It's not always about brute force.
Great choice and congratulations.

Congrats, Tony!
Interesting that you kept the 993TT for such a short time, and went to a cab; I would be curious to know why. As someone who just had first crack at Chuck W.'s beautiful 993TT, which I passed on, I'm wondering what made you make the jump back to a N/A 993. I would have thought after owning the TT, no normally aspirated 993 would ever work for you again....
Looks to be a very nice example. Enjoy it in good health.

Should have read previous post which explains your reasoning for the cab.

Thanks Mark! It's a mesmerizing color, that's for sure.
Thanks and If I were a wealthy man, I would keep both, one for the DD and the other for the track.

I am the lucky owner (to be delivered in a week or so). I was lucky to meet Tony and began stalking him months ago. Tony is a class guy and I'm lucky to buy from him. I hope this will go into a list of cars I will never sell but I have said that before (I recently sold my 993TT Arena Red, 930T and then bought a 996TT). Issues.... Some cars just speak to you and Tony's did just that.
Cheers. I will post some pics of all the children when the new ones arrives.
