Talking Just got my first Porscha!

A Dream come true. Always been a car freak, last car was a Subaru WRX STI in Switzerland, but this is something else. 0-60 on par with Sube, but after that the Sube would eat Porsche dust. This car is faster than it feels, you really have to look at the speedo!

It's a 2001 C2, Guards red, sports seats, 18 turbo wheels, 6speed. Made the following mods:
PSE (sounds like a race car)
17mm wheel spacers rear, 5mm front (looks a lot meaner)
Porsche Short shift (just installed today and woah what a feeling!)
Waiting to retrofit Litronics and Porsche sport suspension (on order)

Last weekend did a Porsche Club track driving day and guess what? RMS leak!!!
Anyway got it fixed under warranty, pray it doesn't happen again.

Nice looking car... I joined the club 4 weeks ago, and love every second.
The only obvious mod needed is replacing your Ferrari shirt with a red Porsche shirt.

Cheers.

Ok ok, I knew I'd take flak for the shirt, but hey while obviously Porsche is tops, I still respect da Ferrari's, besides I'd feel like Joey on that Friends episode, driving a P-car and sporting the apparel.
The pic is taken in front of the newly opened Al-Qasr hotel in Dubai, very nice. Dubai is a pretty amazing place, only been here a month, but loving it. Loads of nightlife, restaurants, nice cars and hot hot women from all over the world.
Attached another couple of Dubai pics. In the background is the very impressive 7 star Burj Al Arab hotel, nice.
Highly recommended place for a winter vacation for anyone.
