Condor, all the best with the delivery on Wednesday... She'll be a beaut... The last couple of days are murder when waiting but you've worked that out already by now and I'm sure you've been down the path before... Enjoy!....

Yeah, that's a good point, however I just didn't want to deal with it. Especially on long trips, which I plan on doing.

I am now leaning towards Alubeam, however the $30,000 AUD price tag mags me ill!!

^^^ Certainly hope to be there! Work 1 or 2 sundays per month but I'm sure I'll be able to swap... Are you thinking the 3rd? or 10th?

100% the 3rd! The 10th is my daughter first birthday which would count me out.

We will leave PCM at 7am and return to Melbourne around 11 - 12noon.

There's going to be a few really nice GT3's and yours is a MUST SHOW!!

It's as separate order from Porsche Motorsport Germany - $5,000 which is a little silly. However, it's worth having one. And it is a must for Targa.

No Probs.

Really looking forward to going on an awesome drive and taking some sensational photos.

Condor,
i was just pulling ur leg.

btw, there's also something u need to know. there are 2 creases on the body of the car i found more noticeable on the matte car i've seen. see attached pic. it's less noticeable on silver car, but on all the cars i've seen.

unless you are a supermodel, alighting through gullwing doors is a travesty of epical proportions. imo.
