It looks like you had the same Car Care guy as me-Louis Bellucci. He is a former 959 test driver.

Yes all cars in Germany require a front plate. It pained me to watch them put it on.

my 997.1 RS full cage only has the "single door bar", so i was curious if 997.2 changed design slightly....

mind you, they are not really door bars.... but are located in the door area.

Congratulations, Ron. Look like you had an amazing time over there. When do you expect the RS to be delivered to Naples?

Very cool. What a way to make a living by giving people rides on the ring. I would quit my job if I could do that all day long. Look like you guys had fun

Beautiful color combination. Thanks a lot for the pics.

By the way, did Sabine rev her to the limit despite it being in the break in period?
