Wink Tough choices over the weekend...

Finaly made it to the mountains of NC to visit the parents over the holidays.

My moms C4 cab in Ferrari light yellow...



Just a bit to cold to run with the top down.

My fathers 993TT in triple black...



They were both kind enough to let me take each of them out for the day.

Thumbs up

I like your Mom's yellow cab. It does get in your genes. My Mom drove a red 928 w/Gramma on the license plate. Now, my brother has a black 996 TT, my sister an '86 turbo body cab (red on red), and of course I've got my 996 C4 cab.

<img src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" border="0" alt="[hiha]" /> I thought of the exact same thing as soon as my eyes went beyond the beautiful 993TT!! <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

BTW, there is reason for the genetic theory above mentioned, since rescent DNA mapping has revealed a specific restriction fragment length polymorphism in a gene in chromosome 9, region 11, called Ferry's gene

Sorry for the delay... been out of town for a few days.

The wheels on the TT are Fiske FM10's. I would love a set for my 996.

The cars were great to drive up in the mountains. The TT photo was taken off the Blue Ridge Parkway between Linville and Blowing Rock, and the 996 photo is off of 221 between Linville and Blowing Rock. IT was nice to drive the cars they were meant to be driven. The roads in Florida are so boring.

As far as the genetic theory goes... the apple does not fall far from the tree.
