Congrats Bestleo! That garage almost looks like it could be a bedroom! Nice place for the p-car to rest between trips. Now go out and have some fun.

Lozzy997,
I have a large right outside the right door where I keep some "junk" (however, all usable). The policy is- if is not used after 8 months, it get discarded or donated.

My 4S only has 1800 miles - so no 997 quite yet!! It's my toy. My next work car will likely be a 335xi coupe (due out in Spring). Wife's getting a 328xi sedan this week. It's all good.

Congrats, nice looker! Do you have any pics of the interior? I'm interested in seeing how the carbon fiber looks with the sand beige.

Thanks for sharing the “baby” pics. She’s a beauty. Looks like you spent quite some time on the “nursery” too.
