The black one is still for sale.
The Meteor one came online yesterday late and we (wife, kids and me) are shortly leaving for Bavaria Germany were it is reserved for me. It's a long drive and we are going to make a spring weekend break out of it in the Bavarian forest.
I know, I am crazy, Nick is right.

I believe and think Meteor/Natural brown is specced rather seldom. When I came back to this section and noticed you had my dream spec I was envy ! I started searching for every post you made since you got the car just to find pictures of it. I never ever thought a few weeks later I would have the change to own such a car ! I still can't believe it really.
PCCB is a nice bonus but would not care if it had it or not. The great thing about them is the 'no brake dust', that's a great benefit.

I hope it works out, drive safely. And post lots of pics.

Ok, I am in Germany about 30 min. from the Czech border. The wife found us an incredibly nice family and baby hotel, the children are ecstatic. And if they are happy we, as parents, are happy. Beautiful area too.
Website : http://www.landhaus-zur-ohe.de/
So the trip started yesterday evening around 7pm. We booked a hotel close to Frankfurt to stay the night. A very friendly and quaint little hotel. http://www.hotelkern.de/Englisch/index_englisch.htm
We arrived around 10:30pm
Next morning we headed to Nürnberg to check out the Meteor Turbo. We arrived just after noon and checked it out very thorough and patiently. First me and than the wife, taking turns in entertaining the kids outside. The wife is a master in finding the smallest defect so was happy she was there to help. Like on any used cars there were a few blemishes but nothing that couldn't be taken care of with some polish or touch-up paint. Inside is a 10/10, exterior a 9.5 but when 'aufbereited' by the pro from the car dealer it will be a 9.9/10 at least. Car has 21634km (13500mls). Since this car is around 8000 euro more expensive then the black one and comes with no warranty and a due service ( a major one) I thought about if for a few minutes and than gave a deposit
So I am now the (soon to be) proud owner of my dream spec turbo with some extra goodies like PCCB, SS lighted turbo sils, painted lower parts and grill, all factory installed options.
Just before I left home, I got a lot of high res pictures from the seller of the black turbo in Italy. He was trying to convince me his car was the best of the best.
I will never know if that is true.
Now some car pictures (hotel pictures lower down):

Denis! In good health as we say. Love the red rear lights, was going to do the same but then the LEDs came out, so I went with those...
Any other inspection done on the car? Engine check? Does the car have service history other than the stamp (should be one or two max) in the book? Any signs of painted surfaces?
Condition of tires? I dont think there is a major service due around 20k kms... Plugs that are expensive are much further down. Brake pads could be an issue.
Time for a sig change man! I love the painted lip but after lowering my car, that is one mod I will not be doing...
