Porsche Driver's Selection
My wife just gave me a brand new Porsche Cayenne Chronograph Limited Edition watch for my birthday. Beautiful time piece. The limited edition is 500 pieces and I have a very low number. If you get a chance, check out the new watch collection.
And, while my wife was purchasing my gift, I was checking out the 2008 Cayenne Turbo, Cayenne S and Cayenne. While I truly love my 2006, I would not hesitate for one minute to go for a 2008 CS or CTT. The front fenders are a bit higher and the rear end actually looks really nice. The new quad round pipes on the turbo really look good. Beside the added technology, the biggest surprise was the black roof liner on the CS and Cayenne I saw (both had black leather). This coming weekend I will get to really get close to the 2008 model and talk to a factory technician. A test drive could be the following weekend. All in all the first impression is very good.

Limited being not many people will buy it? 
j/k with ya! Do you have a pic? There was NO watch for the Cayenne in the newest selection catalog. Just TT, 911, and 356 Classic Chronos, and the TT, 911, Cayman, Boxster, and RS "speed" series.

Limited to 80 pieces - this would be the one I would be after - http://img.timeinc.net/popsci/images...ticleb_170.jpg when I cared about watches.
Porsche Design Chronograph - A mere $150,000USD. Always like it when my bling costs more than my ride!

It is all in the complications, no precious metal here like platinum or anything. The case is titanium. The claims that this is the first watch to drive a "digital" display with gears is erroneous. My Jorg Shauer http://zorigami.free.fr/odd_watches/...ss_digital.jpg in platinum created from a modified and decorated PUW movement (limited to 50 pieces worldwide) was actually the first, Gerald Genta has also had timepieces in his lineup over the years that have had similar characteristics.

We did not make it to Southern Italy (yet) as Madfox did, but we did see some beautiful scenery in Germany, Austria and Italy when we picked up the CTT. These are a few photos and one of these days, I will post more on the album page if that can still be done.
All I can say is, this is one fine machine and I am one happy person.

We have been to many places in Italy from Ventimiglia, Sanremo, Genoa to Firenza, Livorno, Pisa, Vicenza, Padua, Venezia, San Daniela del Friuli and many others. We hope to get to Amalfie and maybe even Calabria before we return to the USA. Ever since I saw the photos from Madfox about Amalfie, I have a strong urge to see that place - just beautiful. But, we may only have a few months left over here and we also need to get to Bordeaux. So much to see and so little time. Of course, we are really looking forward to seeing America and hopefully some of the folks on this web site.
