Talking TIme to spill the beans!

As some of you know, I have a 2003 Midnight Blue C4S that I truly loved (yes, past tense). What orginally started out as a potential three way deal: my wife selling her 2001 Boxster S, her buying my C4S, and me buying someone's Turbo, didn't work out however.

While I wasn't really planning on purchasing a TT, once I began to seriously consider it plus with the encouragement of a few other TT owners and my wife (does it get any better than that?) I began to examine my various options.

I purchased JK996TT's 2004 Guards Red / Black TT here on 6Speedonline. Here are the specifics:

It has 3300 miles, 6 speed, no engine mods, mint condition, and always garaged. This car is in immaculate condition and has no visible signs of wear inside or out.

Factory Installed: Turbo Aero Kit, Sport Seats (Pwr. Driver Side), Thicker 3 Spoke Wheel, Small Carbon Fiber Pkg., Carbon Fiber Brake/Shifter, Carbon Fiber Sills w/ Turbo insigina, CD Changer, Techno Wheels, Red Stitching Doors/Dash, Heated Seats, PCM Navigation.

Aftermarket: Upgraded to full carbon fiber package, Aluminum Gauge Faces ,H&R Sport Springs, Polished Stainless Steel Quad Exhaust Tips, B&M Short Shift Kit, Rennline Aluminum Pedals, Hardwired V1, Red Bumperettes, Red Door Plug, Clear Side Markers, and Custom Turbo Logo Floor Mats from FVD.

Here is a hi-res photo of the car!



I pick up the car on this Saturday down in Fort Lauderdale. Then Teresa and I'll drive it up to Dock's in Atlanta so we can have a little fun together! Then hopefully if Dock doesn't get called into work on Monday, we will head up to the mountains and the Tail of the Dragon / Cherohala Skyway!!

I want to thank my wife for her "purchase" encouragement / support but also all of the hard work she did on my behalf while I was in Europe (last week) and in Huntington Beach, CA this week. This would have NEVER happened without her!

You can see the photos under for the sale area of this board. I will add "my" pictures later. I also want to publically thank Jon for all of his help; he's a great person to work with. Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY today Jon!!

It's hard to wait to finish all of this business trips now. HA HA.

Beautiful car! Enjoy it. What a wife, too. My wife wants nothing to do with my porsche enthusiasm (although she drove my 997 ever time I was out of town and got a ticket going over 100 mph(written up for 85 mph) on a girls weekend in the desert). She shows no interest in my desire for an F430 (an addition to, not to replace, my 997S Club Coupe on order). Yep, your wife is a keeper (so is mine, but not for any reasons having to do with cars!)
