My motto: "Making the world a more beautiful place, one 993 Speedster at a time" :)
It's about time 
...I woulda burst if we had to keep that secret 1 more month.
Even my mom's a fan: today she said she wanted to read about your car, & asked for a copy.
Congratulations, Jon Paul!
Exquisite accomplishment, sir
I've been meaning to post these since Jäger sent them to me. We pulled our cars together for a photo and in the meantime, Alois Ruf and his daughter strolled over and started talking with Marc Clowes from 9m .. and asked if my car was one of the factory cars
... when Marc told him no, Mr. Ruf said "Well, it's just exquisite."

Thanks guy's! It's quite an honor and a privilege, but the BIG shoutout goes to RL'rs Ilko and Stout for extending the invitation and Randy Wells for doing such a great job in the execution.
I don't have my copy yet ...
... but I've seen a few digital sneak peeks and I can't wait to see the new large format layout. Pete and co. are doing a fantastic job stewarding Panorama into the future ..

Yikes.....the license plate frame says Beverly Hills Porsche. That dealership had a great reputation way back when, but went into the toilet after the current owners decided to screw their customers and misrepresent cars and have them fraudulently CPO'd.
I would take that plate frame off asap.

^^^ The plate frame is there, courtesty of our own Chuck W. BTW, because the car is one of the 'Beverly Hills 5' Porsche Exclusive '98 widebody cabs ... it's a tribute to the car's unique history.

EDIT: D'oh, looks like the Pope addressed the BH frame while I was clicking 'Submit Reply' 
Mark-- Speaking of JP's shout-out to RLer Ilko, I also have him to thank for making it possible to meet you & so many cool enthusiasts in the north-east for a NY/NJ/CT spring drive last year. What a perfect day; a great memory!
A RLer went out of his way to get that for Jon Paul. It's one of the many small details & stories that makes JPP's 993 exquisite.
More info regarding the Beverly Hills provenance is in the Excellence Magazine feature published on this car #192 June 2011:
Awesome seeing RL team effort evidenced in print: BHP license plate frame via Chuck W.:

Except for this one..... R Can Saw..... grrrr....... It's Slow as molasses, but then, slow is good most of the time, Lot less stress, but it's not good when everyone gets their Pano's a MONTH before we do!!! WHEW.... that was a mouth full!
Congrats JPP. Glad you are getting some press with your special ride.

Thanks JoAnne, I know you mean it and it means a lot to me. I've been told that Pano delivery times are a function of the bulk post distribution system and the Left Coast usually gets delivery the third week so not so bad .... Patience is a virgin as Colin likes to point out
Then I guess I lost it loooooooooooong ago!
