Default My 2006 997s arrived - Richmond, VA

Well the car arrived today at the dealership.

This is my first post, my first porsche, and so on.... I ordered the car in April. It has been a long wait to say the least!!! I am making the transition from an '01 M3 to the 911.

Well here are a couple of pictures of the car fresh off the truck... I will post more pics later. I pick the car up on Friday!

Take care.

Eric

WOW! Those yellow pccb brakes really look nice. But first thing you gotta do is replace it with clear side markers. the orange really clash against the beautiful yellow calipers

enjoy your gt silver 911. I don't care what people say, I think the S wheels look great. I have them too

Thanks everybody...Turns out, now I have to wait to pick it up until Monday! This weekend will be rough without it. I will post full pictures and info on Monday when it is freshly cleaned.

Take care.

Why do you have to wait? I picked up my car the very day it arrived by truck. Making you wait is cruel!!!

Beautiful car. I love the brakes. I wish I had gotten those. And yes please get the clear side markers. It will blend with the front so much better. Welcome to the site. Now take that car out and start breaking it in.

Congrats.

Jay
