It is about time, what took you so long ?

I think your cars looks stunning. I am thinking of ordering one just like yours, while I await for my Turbo.

From now on we can recognize each other :-))
Nice car.

Looking at the pictures I know where you took them as I know where that fountain is. I slipped in my car a couple of times over spring break and the weekend. What a nice weather, with or without open roof. In fact the weather is perfect right now. I'm leaving :-))

Let me know when and where we can put the cars bumper to bumper. I'm quiet often in the I-10 and beltway area, and the 59 between 610 and 99.

Mark618- I was driving the 997S and could not pull myself away long enough to upload pics..Sorry Dude. Fabio- The car is Black and the wheel makes a difference only in my mind, you might not like it. PV let's get together torward the end of the week as it seems that we may have some rain around here on Tuesday and Wednesday. PV what dealer did you get yours from? I am located around the 610 - West loop7 I-10 area. Looking forward to getting together as I am sure that you can teach this new arrival a few tricks. Thanks-Paul

in the uk the thicker 'padded' steering wheel is a £400UK + upgrade from the standard sports wheel... can't understand how Porsche can justify it...incidentally, anybody ordered one over here yet?

Yep, it is starting to get wet the nexts two days. Thursday afternoon I'm in the Galleria area. mention a place between say 4 and 5:30 and I will be there.

Mine came via I-10 place, not the 59, although that is closer to my home.

Sounds good to me. Is that the one close to Meyerland or close to Richmond?

Both are within 5 - 10 minutes from where I'm that day.

Felcher nice shots. I have to tell you the rear shot looks awesome. I also love the sills. I ordered the same option and until now that is the best shot that I have seen of them. The inside leather looks great as well. Can you write down the other options that you have? Take care and good luck. Please send that weather soon to the NorthEast. Once again congratulations.

Jay- Thanks, The sills are a neat option. Maybe your car will be built early and you will be driving it by the end of April or first week of May. It is kinda fun waiting and of course reading this site 8 times a day, watching other waiters being set free. I wish I ordered that Nav system. Take Care!
