Congrats, Chris! She's a real beaut!

Love the color. Reminds of Aston Martin's Tungsten Silver, the color I've lusted over for years:

I'm getting wood just dreaming about being able to order a new 997S, loaded to the hilt!

In my dreams!

Chris....just simply AWESOME! Enjoy it!

I wanted those GT2 seats so dang bad but because I am tall and these seats sit up higher than the stock seats or sport seats I did not fit...no head room....ARRRRRGH! I wish i was a short guy!

Looks like you bought the C4S launch car from HBL, correct? Anyway, congratulations. I stopped by the dealer a few months back and saw that car in the showroom. It is the one I'd buy if I could.

That's the one...

Thanks for all the compliments. The seats do sit taller, but I'm only 5'10", so it's not too bad. They are a little snug - more so than Adaptives. I look at it as a reason to lose some lbs. If I gain any, I won't fit! :P

I'm away on a biz trip, but I'll put some serious miles on it this summer. I'll post a poll regarding my summer road trip idea shortly...

Thanks again!!! Glad to be back in the 997 world!
