My favourite 996 is the one in my own garage, but I'm realistic about my aesthetic preferences It's not cheating if I admire from afar, right?

Speed Yellow is just so loud, so great. I have a pair of shoes that colour, they're awesome.

I've been riding litre sportbikes around my neck of the woods for 8 years now. I average about 1 roadside performance review a year and yet have a spotless driving record (....touches wood while typing that). I seem to get away with a lot of warnings, still not exactly sure how that plays out every time but I'll just keep playing it the same way every time I get pulled over for a chit-chat. That was kind of why I was looking for something a little more stealthy then the yellow....

Beautiful! Congratulations.

Some of us will be passing through on the way to Lillooet for a spirited drive if you're into that kind of thing.

That is exactly my kind of thing! Living in Pemberton, the Duffy Lake Road is my go to for a spirited ride or drive. It's quite something, the sheer number of performance cars in Vancouver yet one rarely sees them on the Duffy loop.

Maybe it's for the best that some of them aren't on the Duffy, there'd probably be more cars wadded up in the ditch resulting in a lot more law enforcement presence on the road....

Let me know when and where you post up drive dates/plans

Congrats, what a great car! I looked at it and what almost had me is that it's a sunroof delete vehicle. Did they include the OEM deck lid with it as well?

The previous owner (really good guy, great enthusiast owner) has it, I've been in touch with him to get it.

Yeah, the sunroof delete was something I really liked about this one. Any car I've owned that had a sunroof I've hardly ever used it. I'd rather not have it and the weight and potential mechanical headaches and leaks. I think that opinion of them might be in the minority though.
