It was super cool driving on the freeway - we stop traffic and it looked like we are in an ALMS race car parade. Got so many thumbs up and picture taken ... for a moment we felt like celebrity

Default You are a celebrity Mike!

Hence the sizable co-pay Armando was willing to part with (in croissants)

Likewise! I'll post pics once I get the car. Can't wait to get it on the road & track. I'll post separately some questions about GT3 ownership (center lock tool recommendation, clear bra installer etc. - want to be all prepared)

But I have never met a more gracious humble spirited group of people than our Porsche brothers
and sisters. And thats a fact Jack!!!
It helps that most of us know each other well and seen thick and thin through out track conquest through the years. I knew mooty since kindergarten and we used to race tricycles and Armando and I attend French baking school together until they kick me out when I stuff peking duck in croissant

no ... this is Armando's punishment for selling his track cars. We made him bake treats until he show up in a race car with roll bar and harness

Mike, who knew you could have made a fortune by inventing the Cro-duck?!!! And indeed, once Arsicault Bakery opens, the plan is to sell a lot of croissants, make a lot of people happy, and buy the next track car!

Mooty remember Arnaud? Guy traveled right. Cayenne Turbo pulling his cup car. He wasnt that fast
but nobody knew looking at his rig. I tried to help him back his Cayenne back to his trailer hitch.
But he was so frustrated he wanted no part of my help.
