Good for you!

Shortly after I bought my RS, I let my brother take it for a test drive, during which I remarked how I really didn't need to buy it when I did.

His comment, a sage bit of advice, was "life is not a dress-rehersal; enjoy it as much as you can".

Congrats on owning piece of Porsche history. Amazing photography

wonderful pics .. autumn is such a great time to take pics of cars.

you could save a further 10kg by switching to Li On lightweight battery

Well - Aren't those just awesome!!

I would like to say Amar is being modest. He is advancing as a driver. This car is an obvious over kill, but he has emerged himself in the car and is learning - Its such a special car because of the fact it actually can be driven on the street too. 3 years ago when I handed a stranger my car keys, I never imagined today he would be able to handle this - yet he does OK!!

Thanks for everything my friend, As you know, the keys are hanging on the wall right over ------> (there) when you want some air cooled time

Nice photos. I still would encourage you to try the Ridge Racing school next spring 2013 to drive the car on the track with instructor at 4-5/10 and also do some car control maneuvers in the morning session. Do it with your car as is and with the school session you could probably do this without track insurance. I believe it would enhance your street driving experience and confidence. Of course you should do what you feel comfortable with.

Perfect Amar

What's with the front spoiler lip!

Part of the park learning experience, I guess
