Making my pilgrimage to the collection is on the to-do list for 2015.

Peter, you are welcome to make the pilgrimage to see the "pilgrim" any time you're able. Full access to the wine cellar included!

Much appreciated, Mooty has not warned you of Trakcar after my wrong coast invasion?
I'm a little jealous Mooty beat me to the collection..

I thought of you when I visited Orbit the other day and saw a familiar 4.0 maritime Blue that the new owner never even has seen yet.

Crazy buzy 13/14 but I will make it a mission for spring/summer to do the important things.
Visit Pilgrim LOL and figure out if I can stomach $180k flappy paddels for ED.

Maybe we can brainstorm some Jagermeister livery for the Lava Orange automatic RS and lament the sale of my last 3 RS's...

If you think 'pilgrim' is insulting, I'll will take that word back. If you ever become familiar with the cinematic history of John Wayne, you'll get to understand that 'pilgrim' is not a derogatory remark! But some might interpret your apparently indignant response to the word 'Pilgrim' as a red herring to avoid answering the question posed. And I don't want folks here to think that is exactly what you are trying to do. So let's not avoid the important point you raised in YOUR post. I am not trying to start an argument, I just want to ascertain 'where' & 'from whom' did you get the information YOU posted!

So why don't you tell us specifically who disclosed to you that 'Porsche's general rule that less than 10% of limited production models are allowed to be customer selected colors'. You introduced that topic to our discussion so please have the common courtesy to explain to all of us at this knowledgeable forum where this authoritative information came from! And I would then like to confirm that information directly with that source since I also have a few contacts at PAG/PCNA myself. That is unless you now tell us that it's a 'company' secret and you are not a liberty to discuss. But then, why would you in the first place be talking about this 'general rule' at a public internet forum if it is 'confidential' and you can't name your source?

And I sincerely thank you for the invitation to visit your 'secret' collection in Detroit. I will certainly take you up on it at a future date and check out all of those PTS vehicles!

Saludos,
Eduardo
Carmel

White one on ebay is fine example (I'm surprised that someone has not bought that one and out driving the crap out of it right now - same with that Yellow one) - but significant price difference in 22k miles and 1500. Add PTS on top. If your friend will sell a 1500 mile, Orange 09 GT2 for $170k-$180k and you decide you do not want it, let me know :-)
