Thanks for making a newbie feel welcome.

Give me 6-8 weeks - a 996 will be in my garage very soon!!

Oh, and Christien: it will be seal gray.
Can't wait to see it, to many artic silver around. Seal gray is a great choice. Though I kinda am liking Midnight blue for some reason.

Hey all, nice to see everyone and meet a few new people!

Not sure if this is the colour Dead-eye's talking about, but I know I'm not the only one to drool over this shot:

Here are a couple pics from this morning. Sorry they're so grainy - I don't know why they are, my camera usually takes better pics than that. And sorry there's so many of Kirk's 930. What can I say, I love the lines...

Kirk, before we hit traffic it was an awesome driving home staring at those hips! Ok, this is getting weird...

Aaron, seal grey is still cool Besides, you'll probably see more of the inside than the outside! I know I do.

close, that is pure orange i believe.

Sunset orange metallic is actually a dupont color i think. From most angles it looks like a pure orange from far, when u get close u can see the metalic shimmer and where the light hits it directly it has a tendency to become a little bit pink/yellow, hence sunset.

Looks like you guys had a good turn out with some nice artsy photos too. Glad the vette boys showed up, but still no f-cars?
Sorry I missed it, but I was busy with some real sharks 60ft below the surface at the time (sorry no pics). See you all this Saturday.

Hi Pongobaz! Glad to see that you're back with both arms and legs (with sharks, you never know...). See you on Saturday (I will be late, picking-up my car after it has spent some time at Autowerks for the new Bilstein HDs install, strut brace and other bits and pieces).

I was dying to drive my p-car today after my vacation, but I had to bring it to Pfaff for it's 48K service...so I'm driving the loaner/rental Chev Trailblazer (yuck!). With all the discussions regarding servicing US cars at the local dealers, I'll be able to provide a full report later in the week. So far they've been very nice to me and my immigrant car .
Sounds like you're getting some fun stuff done to yours; planning on autocrossing it?

Nop, no DE or autoX for me. My shocks are dead (54 K miles) and I thought for the same price I would get the real stuff (Bilstein HDs). And the strut brace, well, it's purely to hang my dry cleaning stuff

Hi Barrington. No it was not mine last Friday. Mine is going tomorrow night and will stay there until Saturday morning. I cannot wait to experience the handling difference like you do!
