I would love to drive that road. Looks like a lot of fun.

It was a dream, I've driven it several rides in my bmw's in the past. The porsche just handled it on a whole nother level. I was able to stay in second gear through the turns and 3rd on the straight. In the BMW I was constantly hunting gears.

I watched a guy do it in a modified RX7 a few years back - he was very good, very quick and highly technical - impressive time. That's a great shot of you loading up in the corner.

Grey with black to offset is a really nice interior. That's what my interior is working towards - adding more black. Love the CF.

I need to know - are the sports seats crested?

Edit: **** me, are the Sport Seat backs covered in leather? Man that's a nice spec.

I can live without the CF, I think leather looks better on these cars.

Yep, crests and leather backed. Only missing heat.

I have always disliked CF myself and specifically disregarded some cars that had it until I saw this one. The CF along with the black accents really breaks up all the grey and really works for me but might not be for everyone. The fact that all the CF looks like brand new really helps.

Mine was all cracked and had to remove the radio surround. I'll have to also remove the door sills eventually.

Very nice car. If you ever get rid of the seats, I'd love to take them off your hands. Not that you will, but you know, IF you do...

I know I already posted it but here is the high res version without the watermark. I feel like this should be a poster!
