(would have posted sooner, but the site was down)

Wow, I can't wipe the s*** eating grin off my face!!!

Transaction went very smooth. Dropped cheque off, signed some papers, loaded up the summer tires into my jetta (which a friend drove home for me) and we were off.

I am really happy I held out for the Cocoa interior. The more time I spend in it, the more I love it. I was a bit weary about the Silver exterior. I like it, but I will be honest, it wasn't my #1 choice. Don't get me wrong, I am ecstatic

Attached is one photo. It was getting dark, so it was pretty tough to take pictures. I forgot my camera yesterday on my drive, so I will get some more soon.

And the sound... it's music to my ears.

Details again:

2006 C2S
33000 KMs
Arctic Silver/ Cocoa Full Leather
Sport Seats
Short Shifter
Aluminum Sills
Bose
Sport Chrono
Heated Seats & dimming mirrors

I will likely want to add PSE & Nav over time. Also considering getting the rear center console painted silver to match the exterior.

I dealt with Horst Bulau. As I said, smooth transaction. Worked with me to get the deal done. I wanted winter tires or more discount, buying new ones was not in their cards (so the say) so he bought a set from a client of his and put them on my car. They are almost new, I dont need new winter tires


As for the PSE vs Tubi. My colleague has a Tubi exhaust (not sure which) on his Cayman S. Its way to loud for my liking. The drone is loud when cruising. However, I'd like to hear a bunch of options. Listening to youtube doesnt do it justice.

Congrats! PSE is the way to go, no droning whatsoever (it's designed by the guys who did the whole car!)...it's nice to have the switchable feature when you're trying to be quiet around the neighborhood.

I have heard both Phils and Adam's PSE and it is undoubtedly the way to go ... ALLMOST sounds as good as an air cooled and we give full points for effort

What you need now is to find yourself a wife who will buy them for you .. right Adam ?

Great looking ride ..

Went for a drive this afternoon, snapped a few pics.

This is what the cocoa interior really looks like... not the bright brown people see in photos (caused by the flash...)
