Default Sooo...went down to the garage......and..

..well, was not really thinking of driving today, but thought it would be no harm to take off the cover..have not been to even look at the cars this year...and then...well....so...had to take a little run. Just half an hour of very tame stuff to make sure there was nothing not working...and then I remembered why i like Porsches.....

Been stored in the DFC vault. Used to love just looking at the 911 for no reason at all so I guess you have a lot of patience.

My car gets out of jail Monday...

Here's to spring!

Take no offence to this just an observation, I don't have the means to own a GT3RS (I drive an R8 now) but I would anticipate the man to own such a car to have a heck of a lot nicer spot to park it in

Where do you park the 7RS, definitely no room in there?

If that garage is in the gta it's probably worth a million or so. Lol.

I live in Cabbagetown..lucky to have a garage at all, but have some parking spaces at my condo on Adelaide and Church also. I am not much for the suburbs and have lived in city centres in a number of countries in my life. Definitely not for everyone

Still...nice morning this AM, so a little shakedown cruise to see if everything was functional....
drive around Cabbagetown, down to the docks, a run up to the Forks of the Credit. The 7.1 RS was a bit flat, but all the rest was good. Will have them inspected at DFC in the next few days in case I missed something......

Ronan, I'm curious, do you share the miles somewhat equally with the two throughout the year?
