Very nice! Congrats.

I would have thought the Turbo S would have had Sport Seats and a Carbon Fiber/Leather steering wheel as standard options?

I bet the sport seats with matched backs will look great, when they arrive!

1,000 miles per year! That's funny. I'll do over 600 miles this weekend with the nice midwest weather.

Which SpeedLines? Daytonas??

yupper, wheels can be refinished no worries at all, leave the stockers on there for that classic look and its like $150/wheel when you mess them up.
i have a extra rear wheel for sale if u determine you want a spare. a few bucks and its yours. it was from a few years ago. i had one of dem' S"s...quite nice.

congrats on your new ride.

Sport Seats and Carbon wheel (among many other things) were options. Of the cars I came across it seemed a little over 50% had these options. I am sure in reality there are more optioned vs. lesser optioned Turbo S's out there.

Seats should ship out next week.

The wheels are Daytonas. The stockers are nice but the Daytonas are a more interesting period look with a reasonable lip. Ill be sure to snap a few pics on the car.

No HTwo, enjoy those miles!

SPG, thanks for the info. I'll shoot you a PM.

For those of you in the San Francisco area, who do you use for service? S-Car-Go in Marin?

Beautiful car! If there's any chance you'll be in California on 9/25, there's a concours (not judged) being held in Los Gatos. Some of us local RLers will have our cars there, and it would be great to see you there too.

Thanks!

I have Speed Line Daytonas, and love 'em! Make sure you RejeX the wheels before putting on the car. 2-3 coats will help a ton for your cleaning and brake dust.

Here is a nice steering wheel, though 3-spoke. I have this one:

Know who Jerry is, obviously, but never used him. I used Bobby G. for 25 years when I lived out there. Highest recommendation.

Easily fixed !
- remove CDR 210
- place neatly shelf
- never think about that awful POS ever again.....
- purchase Becker Grand Prix iPod® CD / WMA / MP3 tuner.
- enjoy bluetooth handsfree & MP3's




Congrats on the car. Turbo S's rock

Beautiful car. Needs some miles before it melts. What else do you have in that great garage?
