Same exact day as my GT3 ... what are the chances of that !!! I have an extra garage for the CS since you wouldn't be needing it anymore

hey mike. the driveway isn't a problem. getting it into the garage on the cayenne side (lift side - my side) is. the driveway slops down away from street level to the drain in front of the garage and then slops up from the drain creating a "V" (much more pronounced on the lift side than the side the CGT is on in the picture).

i dropped the car off last night at the clear bra place and so have still not tried it out. i'm sure i could get a schitload of bulky lumber to take in and out every time i drive it, but i think that sort of crap would greatly discourage me driving it nearly as much as i would otherwise.

btw, i can't find the darn plug in for the V1. the car accidentally (might have been the wind) got to 130 or so yesterday and i was without protection. we may just have to hardwire.

May I suggest something radical?

Is it possible to switch sides of the garage?

Ben,

The DC plug is in the roof of the glove box. The door will close on the cord until you get a chance to hard wire. Your car looks great! I love the seal exterior.

Hot damn.

I got a flight to catch today so it's Saturday at the earliest. Picking up a GT3 in a CGT ... hmmm. It would be kind of like transfering from a jet to a taxi You remeber the difference between the two at Leipzig?

When Ben accelerated from the dealership with the glorious sound in his wake, a guy walked up to me and said "who in the hell is that... Parnelli Jones? I bet he never gets out of first gear in La Jolla".

I responded " your probability right but I cannot think of anything more fun to do".

The seal grey on the CGT does look great especially with the ascot interior and yellow calipers.

Hey Nick,

When did you get the official title? Did you ride in Ben's CGT yet?
