997 GT3 - just took delivery

Well I finally made it back to Germany and to Zuffenhausen, and took delivery of the GT3.

What can I say... the run-in period is unbearable (not being able to rev past 5k). But I should get to the 1k km mark by tomorrow night, and then its 2 days at the 'Ring after that.

Here's some pics:

in the "delivery" area at Porsche


some details shots:






the next day, we drove over to Ruf, where the boys were quite curious to check out the car (for now at least, GT3's still fairly rare even in Germany)


the car meeting its "big brother" for the first time...


and finally, taken earlier this evening with Adam's gorgeous R-Turbo
