Default A few pics from coffee this morning........

Coffee with the local p-car crew and snapped a few pics of the car as it feels like I haven't driven her in a long time. Was nice to get out for a bit this morning and stretch her legs

Nice to see the heritage similarities across the generations of the 996.1 GT3 Aero and the 997.1GT3

Also, finally got a chance to test fit the new car cover. It's the Tequipment Premium indoor cover (fitted and lined with some sort of really soft material). This was a necessity with the boys electric cars going in and out of the garage almost daily. Need to be proactive in averting any "oops" moments......

The beginning of 2012 has been crazy busy for me with work and helping the wife with her new practice that I have only put about 2-300 miles on the car since getting her home in early December At least I have 3 days at VIR coming up in just over 6 weeks!

Nice eye! We added the wagon about a year and a half ago. I was looking for an E63 Wagon with no luck and the VERY close second choice was an E39 wagon with M package. Had to ship all the way from Cali just to get this one. It was a 1-owner, immaculate (9.5/10) example. Very impressive car, virtually bulletproof I-6 motor, and just a great design.

A few more pics.......
