One trick to euro delivery - if you drop at the alternative drop site then Schenker will ship the car directly to the Port of Emden and bypass Stuttgart. That saves 2-4 weeks in shipping - I got my car back in 5 weeks

Default three add'l pics of pesto360's RS

eclou- that's good info on speeding shipment.

Pesto360- stunning combo, shoes
Jackie Stewart called the ring "The Green Hell".
...even after @100 laps i'd prob be lucky to break 9:30.
feel free to hit me w more pics anytime,






to give a shot at pic resizing, no photoshop required -- the simplest way I know of:
______________________________
Steps to reducing pic size:

1- Click on 'start' bottom left corner
2- Click on 'All Programs'
3- Click on 'Accessories'
4- Click on 'Paint'

5- (at top left) Click 'File',..'Open',....to select the pic
6- (near top center) Click on 'Image'
7- Click on 'Stretch/Skew'
8- (pesto360 your RS file pics are >3meg, so 25% of original size allows posting pic on rennlist as Attachment)..To reduce pic size to 25%, overtype the 'Horizontal' % value with 25.
Likewise enter 25 for Vertical % value.
9- Click 'OK'

10- Click 'File', then 'Save As'...make sure to rename file something different than the file's original name (adding the word 'Rennlist' to the filename for example always works), thus preserving your original 100%-sized file.

from my understanding they never made another 07 in this color combo but will now offer it on the 08 models if anyone is interested...

With the shortened 08 production run, there is a good chance you will have the only car with that combo made regardless of year.

Do you know of any decent repair shops in South Florida I keep a car in Ft Lauderdale?

Well done with the factory restoration. Will cost a lot but in the end like you said, will be quite unique and rare process.

South Florida? You need to come out to some DEs or one of our South Beach Breakfast Club meetings!

Sorry to hear that - 3 out of 4 of the lightweights I get offered are fake. Incidentally, what were the numbers that were attached to the car you bought? I keep a private register of the RS and RSR numbers.
