Default New to me....(pics)

Bought the car a couple months ago, but just getting around to posting some pics. '03 white/tan with 16k miles. I could have done without the Techart wing, but so it is. I consolidated my road & track cars ('04 C4S & '05 Elise) to have just the one TT.

Flame away on the bike rack, but I use it almost daily If you like to ride as much as drive, this is just about the best setup I can imagine!

Congrats! I just got mine last night so I understand your excitement. I keep just staring at mine in the garage. I hope you're enjoying yours as much as I am mine! It's funny my father was looking at mine and said "what are these for, a rack? who does that?!" But I give you props for using your car, like a car, not a plaque hung on a shelf.

White with tan was my first choice, but couldn't find one in a cab. Very nice.

OK, so it's Slate "Grey"? .
I pm'd you on a 996TT Tiptronic that I was shown, but the owner was iffy if he was going to sell it.

either way, congrats.

It's funny, but there are quite a few 911's running around here and I know of at least 4 with bike racks I'm certainly with you on using a car for its intended use and I hope the local track will let me run the car without having to take the rack off!

Thx much........I actually had no intent on trading my C4S, but I just stumbled upon the TT at a local used car lot. I can say that it's recalibrated my assessment of "fast". I fear that if I tire of this car, what comes next???

Safe travels to FL and enjoy the new ride!

Congrats on the nice looking Turbo.

IMO there's nothing at all wrong with having a bike rack on the car.
