Default My first everything

I hope its ok to share with you all my very first porsche, a 2011 black C4S.
Its been 30 years of dreaming and 20 years of the hard elbow greasing to get here but all worth it after that first drive.

I wanted to let you all know that I was very pleased with the experience at Downtown Porsche and especially with Robert Burgess who made the process of buying very simple over what amounted to 5 mins over a cup of coffee. He is certainly a very professional gentleman to deal with. Thanks to the Duo at Sports Car Boutique who were instrumental in making all of this happen.

Now off to get prepared to go to my first Apex driving day at Mosport on Wednesday.

Cheers

There are a few I do not attend for obvious reasons, try to make all the Apex days. Well run, good group of instructors, fun day.
Venture to TMP quite a bit, great place to push the car and learn the limits,
without the obvious repercussions of an off at Mosport. It's also relatively inexpensive and a great place for video.
Shannonville, only when I have to, it's a long drive and my back is not getting any younger.

Congratulations! Enjoy in good health.

I would never take my brand new car to a track until the break-in period is over. But that's just me.

Sorry, I only had 2 pics in my iphone, the one I took at the dealer and the second quite a while later in a parking lot at work. I will post some recent ones when I got her washed and ready for a night out on the town...(no reference to my wife)
