Default I shall call him Mini Me...

1:18 scale model from Porsche Design Drivers' Selection. It's Macadamia Brown Metallic with Sand Beige interior and PCCBs, just like my full-sized 997.1 TT. The color looks a little bit off in the photos, but it's exactly the same color as my car.

Now I have a 997 TT in my garage and on my desk...

Hey, your model is missing a roof... check the packaging and see if it accidentally fell off during transit.

This is said from the point of view of someone who is unable to buy a model of any scale that matches my Turb'.

I found it on eBay. Apparently it was originally used at dealerships as a display when the 997 turbo launched. I got lucky because my car is the same color combination as the car used in much of the launch and promotional material. Macadamia Brown Metallic was a new color for 2008.

I actually got a chance to drive my full-sized 997 TT with the roof open yesterday in Denver. It was 60 degrees and sunny... in February!
