D'OH! oh man..i'm gonna edit my post out..it was embarassing.
It's been a long day man. I categorically refuse to work on motorcycles from now on. Everything is so tiny and cramped.
Oh well..boxter owners can take that as a compliment.. i hope the 996 Cab owners wern't too offended

It's great to see that car in action.

Is it just me or did his anti sub belt not work? Or he is just that tall and the roll bar isn't going to help in that case. It just looks like his head is much higher than the top of the seat and in my GT3 seats my head sits just barely above the top of the seat (and I am 6'1").

I'm guessing his @$$ is a few inches off the seat.
It's hard to tell if it's a blue or black, if it's black it looks a lot like Ben's old car.
