Hey Jamie, not sure if you are on the R8talk forum, but we are having an R8 gathering on April 23rd. Looks to be about 25 R8s in attendance. Hope to see you there!

Well Sunday was a great day for it. I ended up in the driveway power washing winter off the daily drivers.

Another great shot for your two RS's together......Just begs the question, how do you drive them both at the same time ?!?

Easy. You have seen all the talk here about how PDK cars are just automatic. I drive the manual car and the PDK car drives itself!

actually I store one car with Phil Downe and he does the shakeout drives with me.

As I was making a right hand turn onto Hwy 10, in the corner of my eye I saw the lime green and Orange beasts. They look so bad ***! I stared for as long as it was safely possible ! my girlfriend turned to me and said dang, I can see why you enjoy Porsche so much! LOL! she calls my 911 Phantom car as I haven't driven it since December. Can't wait. Seeing those two cars back to back, felt like a sight out of carweek in Cali.

Actually we were very well aware that the first nice dry weekend day might bring out lots of speeding attention. Ap hair of brightly coloured cars makes you a sitting duck. We did see s number of patrol cars. In any case this was just to see that everything was working of the cars after storage so apart from some mild exuberance on the twists we were not worried Why do I Have a feeling that many of the seized cars had dash cams
