He will have his jus primae noctis with the 4 and then the little mooties will inherit it.

If you want something from it, aim for the black wheels.
John is (of course) gonna do silver BBSs.
I think that may be true, even for Mooty. He sees the divide that the 991 brings. H prefers to stay pre-991.

Ah, the waiting part! My least favorite part of buying a new Porsche! Don't forget to breath, sleeping is optional.

PS If you need room for the cup you can always leave the 4.0 at my place, it would be like having a car at the Nurburgring and I would let you drive anytime you are in the area! that way the little woman won't ever suspect you have it

Congrats John, can not imagine your excitement. Get on the bike and burn off some energy.

Default Great move!

You had me worried for awhile. Your avatar has been the 996 for too long. Had me thinking you were digressing. What a great way to renew my faith. Looks like the priorities are straight. You must have shuffled the funds around with a lower maintenance mistress. lol

Now it’s time for a “Battle of the 4.0s.” Get Savyboy to drop down from the mountains to the east and meet at a track. Too early in the year to meet at his altitude. Invite anyone else with a 4.0 to join. Maybe you could stretch the reqs to allow Snowboarder’s 3.9?

That would get me to drive up there from Socal for the exhibition.

thanks. yeah you had me worried when i saw you selling the 07 cup. i was talking with bob m. about your cup. his comments were if you want supercup's car, you can buy it sight unseen. if there's anyone more **** than bob, it would be you!

1/18 at willow with OTR...you can stay at my house if you come down to LALA land. Big congrats on the purchase(gotta love the NJ porsche dealer). You make me feel good about me addiction to the Porsche brand.

I as well almost never purchase P-cars in Los Angeles. Although the Auto Gallery has a silver/black 1,300 mile CGT that I drove last Saturday. The only car guy I trust is LA is Shawn Williams at Exclusive Motorcars.
