Do some research on other, older, Porsche sites. Roock has a really bad reputation, their US office is 5 miles from my house and I would not take my car to them if their upgrade was free.

In addition, if you ever watch that Repo Man show on the Discovery Channel, you might see the segment where they repo a bunch of race cars from Roock. They shipped them from Germany to the US but the German bank found them... It was pretty funny

Shank,

It's for real. The show was a three part series on TLC. Here's a press release about the show:

http://www.forrelease.com/D20031118/...008.25392.html

It was pretty interesting. In the first show, they rolled up to Roock and repo'ed a bunch of race cars and parts. They interviewed the bank officer (from a German bank as I recall), who told the story that they had been looking for the cars in Germany and finally found them in the US at Roock's offices when they were at Road Atlanta. I looked for a clip on the web but could not find one. Roock should put that clip on their website, it gave them national exposure
