Default My wait is ended...............

8 grueling months after I placed my original PTS order for a Champagne Yellow Posche C4S Cab and after Porsche denied that color and the replacement they suggested Jonquil Yellow , my Turquoise Blue one got here.

Why Turquiose Blue you ask! The answer is obvious. After my first two colors were a no-go I started looking for another PTS on the internet and low and behold I came across Edgy's (Dan's) beautiful car. We traded a few e-mails and he was generous enough not to mind me duplicating his awesome car so that's what I did! Thank you Dan!

I picked it up on Friday morning and I was away all weekend and just got back now. Man, I'm in heaven. I love this color! I usually lease mine for 3 or 4 years but this is my last Porsche for sure. After the lease is up I'll buy it....no doubt....I could never turn this one back in.

I can't wipe the smile off my face and at 62 there's not many feelings as good as this. It's stunning to drive to....quick as hell and tight as hell. The Nav system is wonderful as is the interface for the IPOD and the bluetooth.

Anyway, guys, I know the color isn't everyone's cup of tea but it sure is mine........what'dya think













All the Best,

Tom

Yes it is Adias! Lovely color. I had it on my 2001 but I don't remember it to be this sumptuous!

Now remember the deal. No cross-country trips to California with that car, and be careful where you park it--everyone is now watching. No strip bars, no houses of ill repute....but have fun with it!
