Default .2 RS out of winter hibernation



Put the car away in November. Pulled it out last Thursday, drove it to Lime Rock, instructed at a DE and did a few sessions on the car. Drove it home. Always such a pleasure to drive the RS even with other "toys". The car is so charismatic, capable and happy to do whatever you want. Ended-up with 300 miles on the round trip, ran it through the rain and got it all dirty. At almost 24,000 miles it's not a garage queen but damn this car is great. The MPSS on there are done so I've ordered some MP4S to try. The car is retired from track duty for the most part but remains one of my all time favorites.

grey black with the white gold may be my favorite.
though aqua blue and white gold could edge it out.

Nine1won -- you get the one from West Coast Exotics?

I got the picture from West Coast! That one was in my sights but in the end I wanted leather and lift. I got mine from Louisville Porsche and it should arrive next Monday.

Haha. Lack of leather on that one made me like the one in Louisville more too!
Not the right timing for a purchase for me though....

Congrats on the purchase! Maybe see you up on Skyline some day.

Thanks! Louisville gave me a good deal and threw in CPO.

The "lack of leather" comments in a basically race car cracks me up. I guess the flywheel chatter doesn't bother? The leather option is a joke anyway. If you really want leather then you should be swapping the Alcántara seat cushions and steering whees for leather. You are sitting and touching those.

Nice pic brownan. Let me know next time you go up there. I'll throw the old girl on for a few laps.
