Off to the Great Beyond
I'm taking this opportunity to thank all the Rennlisters for getting me through a very difficult ordering process. It's been costly, though, knowing you! I watched my somewhat modest configuration grow past the GT3 and 997TT levels but's a special car that won't be in need of any 'upgrades' for some time to come (save the mandatory clear side lights, of course).
I'm on the plane tomorrow for Stuttgart, picking up the blue beast on Tuesday and cruising for 3 weeks throughout Europe. I hope to be able to be able to get to a computer occasionally to stay up on what's happening on the 'list' but it would force me to stop and PARK!
Will send along baby pictures when the opportunity arises. Thanks for waiting with me. Soon I'll be able to change my avatar!

Godspeed Dan! 
I know it's been a long, long, long wait; but tomorrow is the beginning of the end of the waiting.
Have a safe trip and savor this once in a lifetime experience. You certainly deserve it, my friend.

Dan - I believe you were snapping pics of my Slate Gray Speedster Saturday at the SBPCA Breakfast! I was asking about the huge wide-angle lens on your camera.
Congratulations on the pending delivery of your new 997. The description sounds amazing. I'll look forward to seeing it in person...at the July Breakfast, perhaps?
Have a great trip!!

That's ME! Love your Speedster! Will see you at a future breakfast. I suspect I won't see the car into well into August so perhaps at the September one I will have it.
Thanks, everyone. I'm going to take it slow and build up. I haven't been over 120 in a number of years.

P.S. Yes,--JAPANESE tranny! I have heard nothing but good things about them, right?
