Sounds like a good idea, Chuck! Mine is supposed to arrive at the dealer here in Cincinnati sometime next week, ... maybe. It's "ONVESL" and supposed to get to the "processor" right about now.

I'd love to meet somewhere when the weather makes planning for the get-together more predictable.

Cheers

What a blast..I still "pinch myself" everytime I see it or drive it!

Thanks

Thanks! I have been taking mine out as much as possilbe also. I have about 250 miles on it and I can't wait to get past the break in period.

I am up for a get together anytime! It does seem like we have quite a few of these around the area, it would be pretty cool to get at least five of them together this spring.

Beautiful car. Is this your first Porsche? I can't imagine what it must be like to walk into your garage and see that parked there.

I have owned a '75 914 that was upgraded to a 2.2, this was the first car I ever purchased and I still own it.

I also owned a '94 911 Turbo that I bought used in '96, I sold it to buy a '96 993TT that I still own also.

I can say that I get a rush everytime I go in the garage and see the CGT, I can't wait until the spring.

Themarsman and W8MM any chance you may want to come out to Mansfield for the 944Fest in July? It would be neat to get those cars on the dyno. The show features the 944's but other cars are welcome to come and enjoy the festivities.

There is room for other cars, I have a Caterham 21 GTO that goes in the other half. I also have an S600 as my everyday car in the other garage attatched to the house.

I can't let the Agusta go it matches my garage too well.

No I have a '03 S600 that Renntech reprogrammed the computers on and is running 11.9's in the quarter with street tires, 11.5's with slicks.

The new Mercedes are incredible cars, I can't believe how fast they are until I embarass some Vipers.
