Kong?

So you also have a 997, or did you sell it? I've been tempted to get one as the used prices have come down quite a bit but I've heard differing views on how reliable the PDK is with some HK cars.

Kong is the taller guy with the British accent. Chu is the engine expert.

Yeah, Kong. I'm terrible with names at first- must be my job cuz I meet so many new people.

We are a little car crazy in the family, '10 997.2 Turbo S as well as a few others. 997TT-S is sickeningly fast. Much easier daily driver and with PASM, PTV, and active engine mounts etc. but with the roads and speeds here, rarely get to light her up. I've been itching to do launch mode but nowhere to do it.

Has RAT installed the new suspension in your TT? I stopped by the garage last week and saw your car on the lift and I noticed that the rear fender stone guards are missing. You should consider putting it on to prevent stone chips on the wide rear fenders.

Thanks, I was debating clear or black. At least if the clear ones yellow, you won't notice...

They went to put the rear suspension back together and realized they had the wrong part, so rather than picking it up yesterday, it will be Monday.

You do know that only ~75 countries are left-hand drive vs. ~165 countries right hand drive? And the population of these countries are ~2bn vs 3.8bn?

I think YOUR steering wheel is on the wrong side...and you are driving on the wrong side of the road!

But what are the number of cars sold in those countries, not counting 2 and 3 wheelers . . .

But someday they may be owning more cars, but not running on dino I hope.

McLearn F1 had it best, sit in the middle.
