Gorgeous!!!! big big congrats

 

I was thinking of that suspicious little man running away from your car in that picture!! A worrying sign

 

Your post is so appreciated. Thank you! I'm already noticing the difference between the 997.2 and 991S. Entirely different cars and such an enhancement to the characteristics of the 911 experience that I am used to and love.

When required the 991 appears to have the wondrous ability to shift from Jeckl to Hyde in a manner that is far more pronounced than in any other 911 that I have driven. I'm already converted!

 

Hehehe... That's my little 4 year old rascal of a nephew! The car passed his test... How fast? Can I jump in?... Can we go for a drive?

Both my nephews are Porscheholics!

 

Thanks TJ. Agree same color coded body and wheels would have been reason enough to call for the whitecoats hehe

Hmmm.... haven't given mods too much thought but I'm going to photoshop the lip and paint it to see what it may look like. I always like the minimal and old school look so if it works I may get it done. Thanks for the pointer.

 

CONGRATS!!!
I can feel the excitement in your posts... life is good!
Posts like these remind me it's worth the wait, not easy but definitely worth it.

ENJOY!

 

Thank you PS! Much appreciated.

I've had four previous 911's and have never gotten this excited about getting any one of them. I've been wondering why this time is so much more fulfilling. It may have something to do with the whole custom order experience one goes through. Spec the car, build date, shipping, and collection. All these phases necessitate patience and periods of waiting. It's all of that that also fuels the anticipation and excitement .

It's painful waiting... but we'll worth it!

 

[QUOTE=Haku;3650394]My build was completed on the 7th, on the Marina Ace which sailed on the 12th, arrived Brunswick 24th, at the dealer in Chattanooga 26th afternoon! I arrived at the dealership just in time to see the car being delivered.......


Super machine a very sportive look and absolutely brilliant with the Platinum wheels Well done, also with the steel roof you're right !

 

Thank you aw. At the moment I'm happy with my choice of options. I was lucky with the body and wheel combination as I had not seen it for real prior to ordering it. I think it looks nice.

 

Haku...Your car is beautiful. My car is a base but the same color as yours. It is still on the Marina Ace and scheduled to arrive in Houston tomorrow. I am so happy you finally got your car, I know the wait was long...Billy

 

Billy, thank you. Afaik the Marina Ace is scheduled to get to Houston tomorrow. Your car is going to put a huge smile on your face very soon.The wait has been long for a bunch of us but as other have said it is worth it. So much or to appreciate when collection day arrives!

Not long for you... I can't wait to see the pics.

 

Yeehah...FINALLY...you've got it. Many congrats !! I can only imagine how it'd feel like. I'd probably be staring at the car when not driving and be kicked out of the house by my wife!! It must be amazing feeling. Congrats again and wish you enjoy in good health!

 

I absolutely love the color combo. I was gonna get platinum with platinum wheels had i ordered mine. Congrats. Im sure you are enjoying it!!

 

Thank you Fester! It does feel great. I've done zero work today but gave the car its first wash a while ago... btw, it's easier to wash than the 997. For those who experienced the after-wash mirror drip syndrome on the 997 will appreciate the new non drip version of the mirrors. Fester your car will be amazing when it arrives. The waiting makes the heart grow fonder and all that. The wife will understand mate!

T, thank you. Of course I am biased but I have no regrets about the combo. I like the slight hue changes of the platinum silver and the perceived darkening of the wheels when the light changes. It's turned out lurvely!

 

Big time congrats!!! Nicely spec'd. I can only imagine the smile on your face
