Oh I'm well aware of the potential bashing I could take for not posting pics. Thanks for your patience so far. Pics later today!

Congratulations....but no pics is a serious offense here! #151 huh? It's only appropriate that you celebrate in kind with none other than the Demon Rum Bacardi - 151. Now those are some pics that'll be worth posting

Tim, trust me I tried to get pictures up before I got your lashing. I've been lurking on & off since 2002. Never had a decent enough Pcar or knowledge to chime in much. My others were earlier 911's, 914 & 951. They were fun, but this one beats them hands down!

Nice looking special addition, good pics and no doubt a great ride home. Now ask Mr. Bicardi to come over to celebrate with you. Nice to hear that an 'evolved' 996 is more fun than your older Porsches.

Interesting - the previous owner apparently removed the L&R front grilles in the front bumper and replaced them with black plastic ones (or just painted 'em black) - the 40th cars come with GT Silver grilles on the sides, with just the central one being black.

Enjoy the car, I have loved mine (it's going away in 3 months when new GT3 arrives)...
