Nope. That's when it comes on (so said my salesman) - and it was epic. I was trying to see how far I could get the tail out on back road. It's "Omg when" far. I'm having so much fun. Way farther than my Proceed v5 N54 335i.

Recently took the girlfriend on a tour of California, from home along coastal SoCal up to Yountville and Calistoga, and back down, stopping in many beautiful places along the way. Had a blast. 997.2 C2S in GT Silver and black. 19" BBS LM-Rs. Thanks.

Hey Wayne, I think I now know what to do with those small stickers that you have!

Not only brake later but man, the torque they provided with the uphill sections!

Perhaps Wayne will share where he purchased them because the stickers truly are works of art...

The "dry tongue" comment is so funny and descriptive: the frog was dirty when we got together weeks ago...sunny here today if you want to make her purdy again...

Looking forward to you getting this done!

That's a beautiful party of the world, and a great car to to do it in. Love the wheels...T

Even better driving home with total accumulation of 7 inches. Just love a C4S in the snow!

Credit where credit is due. The decals are on account of SoCal C2S. I first saw them on his car. He was kind enough to share that he got them in a small shop next to the Porsche museum and was kinder yet to offer to pick some up for me on his next visit. Then a month later he sent me information on where I could order them (Athens, Greece). I will assume that sharing that site is OK, but must hold off doing so until I get home.

And Dan ... Wash the frog!

Thanks! Yeah, it was so much fun driving all up and down Napa Valley. The smells and sounds were truly intoxicating. 911 country, for sure. ;-)

Napa and Sonoma and PCH are great in a rental, so they'd have to be awesome in a 911. Definitely, a bucket list item to do that neck of the woods in my 911...T

Cleaned the exhaust tips using suggestions from this thread, minus the steel wool, as I did not find that in wally world: https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...ng-method.html

And from the dirty bumper, you can tell I drove the car today despite light rain showers. Was so pleased with the results that I did the same for my daily driver Mazda.

mander, are you serious? 7" of snow?!

When it is that deep what happens at a stop sign or stop light? Is there a pile of ploughed snow in front of you
And does it just hit the underbody protector?

I tried 4-5" of snow and I thought that was the limit?

Let me know if you have time to respond.

Thanks in advance,
Andy
