Congrats! I just picked mine up today as well.

Glad to hear your dealer was as motivated to deliver your car as mine was. A little icing on the cake never hurts.

I know you're enjoying the car as much as I am. Congrats again!

Ron,

That's great news!

Only 1600 long and boring kilometers until you can really enjoy it

But at 1601.........

I guess that you will be enjoying your week off even more now with a new toy to play with. I'll bet that you have 1600 on her by the end of the week.

How was your allignment?

Hi Apex Late

I'm enjoying the car very much even at 4K rpm. As for the alignment I had the dealer adjust it to stock specs before picking it up. They didn't give me a print out so I've no idea how far off it was.

Yes I'm hoping to have the 1600 clicks on it before the end of the week.

I've registered for the UCR Sept. 26/27 event at Mosport,..... will you be there or anyone else from the TO area?

Wink Hi Ron

Congratulations, It's a beauty. I actually got to sit in it while they were prepping it.
Kapriel dropped off E.A's silver GT3 for some small repairs and I got to compare the two. Well, I now have got to wait until December for the yellow one to come in. Yup, switched the early September silver for a Christmas yellow. Did you put in the short shift kit ? If so, that's on my Christmas wish list as well.
Looks like Bob's off the hook and your back on. I can hear it now," Why is Ron in the blue group ? And, why is he going so slow? ". Don't worry I'll paint the rims black!!
Have a great week.

P.S. (pic 2) Parking in the handicapped spot is a big no no even with a pretty car like that.

Hey Ron,

In case you don't know it yet Apex Late is Keith Carter. You met me this past weekend at Mosport and we discussed GT3 set-up.

I have not signed up for UCR as I thought that our Tremblant event was the next day. Is that a correct assumption? I would love to go to Mosport if the timing would work out. Maybe we can get Bob, Ted, and Rowan to join in and make it a Rennsport GT trip. It has been 2 years since I have lapped Mosport and that is saying something since I used to do it almost every other week.

I am still waiting for an email from you regarding directions to your shop. I have 1100 kms on and I can't wait to hear 8000 rpm.

After looking at your pics and those of Lonnie R and Metal, I wish I had the ***** to get SY, it just rocks as a color.

Mike K,

I noticed the handicapped sign when looking at the pics.

The salesman parked it there.
