They used to ship Porsche's to Vancouver, two to a closed container.

Now they do the same RORO ship as to other locations to Halifax and then truck them across the country. As mentioned, I did see one load of 3 cars being unloaded from open flat deck back in late December! Apparantly this is cheaper for Porsche Cars Canada. The dealers are fighting for enclosed trucks. No closed shipping containrs in Canada anymore. We're lucky to get an enclosed trailer with 3 to 6 other cars. One truck will start at Halifax and drop cars across the country.

Sid,
Your posts have such a delightful sense of whimsy, and very little clothing! Thanks for both! Oh, and the car stuff also, I almost forgot. Can't wait to see your car after all of this time. And this summer, when you can put the top down (summer comes on a Wednesdy in Canada this year, right?) I can't wait to see those pictures as well .

Will you be starting a new thread, or extending the record breaking length of this one?

Seriously, I am very excited for you! I know the torture of these last days all too well.
All the best.

 

all st.joe girls act this way :P

 

Excellent!
There's nothing worse than a new car with "noises"... drives me nuts!
Thanks!


But if ya want... my "girlfriend" is a "dancer" I really don't mind sending her over... at all..
I take her everywhere (sigh)... but she keeps coming back!

 

Holy crap don't say that out loud man!
If my friends ever find out I have a "sense of whimsy" I'll never hear the end of it!
They are already calling my Louis Vuitton luggage "handbags"... for crying out loud, shhhhhhh!!





Re new thread... hopefully this one will remain a virtual fire-place for us to hang out at.
Like many others whom have already and those whom are about to (when receiving their C4/S's) I'll post some pics on here for sure with some of the custom stuff I plan to do before taking it on the road... but after that I'm probably pulling a "Brianja" for a few weeks hehehe.

Cheers!


edit... btw nice avatar, it looks really good!

 

Some shots of a full Areokit cup black C4S for sale at a P. dealer.
Not the best quality shots... but it's going to make somebody a very happy man!

That said I do not know why the dealer just doesn't change those orange side markers... damn that looks terrible with the yellow calipers -sigh-
Otherwise I like it A LOT!

 

What? You with LV luggage...come on!! Your buddies are so freakin right

 

LOL . Thanks Sid, real generous of you but I don't think I can fit her in my keuken!

 

DOHHHH I knew it !!




Hahaha I thought that might get a laugh or 2 hehehe
I wouldn't worry so much about the keuken (kitchen) but more about your nice new 991!!!!!
Some visuals are better not illustrated...I like to sleep at night!

 

Sid, you sure you and your gf want to be seen in a cab?

 

OK back to our beloved 991's...

I've been looking for a wing to put on my C4S cab and there isn't an awful lot out there outside for some smaller type wings which are just attached with double sided tape.

There's the Porsche ducktaill of course but it's not available without the front bumper plus I'm not sure if I like it on the cab.
What do you guys think of this rear wing...

 

That could work!

 

I really like the side profile of the wing, but not sure if I like the view from the rear. Do you have another color or a different shot in black from the rear. I think the vertical part that connects the wing is what I'm not sure about.

 

Not bad at all indeed. 'Caractere' has a wing that does not look bad either!
