Default Another RS: Z Kermit Arrives!
Seems like forever since putting the deposit down but the car arrived at Carlsen Porsche today and brian and his crew did the PDI today. It should be ready for me to picke her up tomorrow but after all the nasty RS experiences I've read I have to say that mine has been a breeze.







PS Yes I love the 1950s smoothies! Interesting fact, I think all the RS coming from a June and July build are going to be coming with Pirelli Corsas as opposed to the Michelin PSCs Ah well at least you can get through break-in with ****e tires!

I don't know if they switch from time to time but if I remember correctly, Bob Rouleau's car came with Pirelli and he had it for a couple of months.

That is a great looking car. Would like to see it will all the tinsel off. Whatever tires came with it, be sure to keep them on the road. Good luck.

Very nice Alex! Looking forward to more pix once she's cleaned up and ready for the road. This will make everything else in the stable look a wee bit dowdy
Will those Corsa's be touching a track anytime soon?

Thanks Chuck... now I just need to get her to be louder than yours As for James, I just have to accept that someone who can drive way better (and harder) than me is going to be killing the tires ever 1000 miles
