Very nice! Might be close if I continue my trend...

2.5 months = 5,500 miles.

Excellent use of your car, Mooty. I cannot understand the thinking behind garage queens. I've owned my 996 RS daily driver for just over a year and put 16k km on it (10k miles).

lap time dropped EVERY outing so far. i am getting used to the car and tony at tcdesignfab.com continues to help me tweak the car off and on track side.

so far, yes, best car i have had.

Nice setup there... what are the clamps that hold your harness from sliding around on the bar? I'm looking for some. Thanks!

I've been hearing about you from our friend Paul G. Looks like you're just as addicted to your P-car as I am! I passed 10k miles a couple weeks ago and will probably have over 12k by the time I get back from my next road trip. I'll be at Santana Row with another Turbo in tow this coming Saturday. Hope to see you there!

Nice. Trackmasters is at Infineon next Friday - another chance to feed the odometer - you guys in?
You might see my Cayman S there - if it gets out of the shop on time - turns out I have yet another power steering issue (2nd time in 2 months)
I might just be forced to trade up to a GT3...
