Default Now the full story...

Midnight Blue Metallic is the color, at night it can look black, in sunlight is it BEAUTIFUL!!
quite a story recieving it as well, here is my "reader's digest version"
9-8-05 am, it is pouring rain in MPLS, MN.
the clouds break the sun comes out, and the truck shows up
Car will not start
Truck driver gets out his crescent wrench, hits the hood button, (after getting
in and out of car with driver door painfully close to a steel pole on trailer).
I become UNGLUED, and as my support team said (and Carrera GT owner),
no amount of my medication would have settled me down.
we push car off of the trailer, a crowd gathers and there is an awful lot of
hands on hips, swearing and the like. (even my old roomate, Steve Beddor,
who had walked over from the "RUF COMMAND CENTER") is baffled as to
why we have power, but starter will not engage
We figure out that the f****ng floor mat is folded over underneath where
clutch pedal is in order to be fully depressed.
I jump in start my car and take it for a quick spin around the industrial park Everything feels good, tight, quick, solid, my blood pressure
is beginning to come down to near normal. then we try to start my buddy's
Beck 550 Spyder (see first photo) and it won't start...
But my car is running, and I absolutely love it.
further driver report soon to follow.
cheers
Marty K

My thoughts exactly You will be amazed at the difference.

I still can't understand why PAG fails to paint the rear bumperettes on the TT and 4S, yet they do on the std Carreras.

I like the black bumperettes, a good contrast with the body color.....just like with the front grill......you guys don't paint that body color do you?

Looking good friend, now consider Stephen at Imagine when you get ready to take it up a notch. I was there on wednesday as you know and the people and the place are both impressive.
All the best.
