i will second vanboost's gas mileage - on my trip from SF -> Atlanta, i got 22.2mpg. by the time i reached orlando, i was getting 19.2 (GA roads are wide open as long as you aren't in Macon; FL roads are wide open until Gainesville!)

Darnit! I know Mike swore (well after he swore at me) that they're on their way

Thanks all for the kind words.

I ran out of shaving cream this morning, so, you know, I took the 996 to the supermarket down the highway after work.

I really stood on it in Third and the steering wheel went a little light in my hands. The car beat me on the backside like it was my Daddy. Are there out-clinics for this condition? I am hooked.

The V-Flow will sit in my garage until MAFs can roam freely once again.

I just tried to upload some photos without luck, technical difficulties. Please stay tuned for a project page on Sharky's site (presuming Alex has the time!!!)

Cheers
VB
:D

Hehe and those are just the ones I sent ya! Actually if you resize them to 800x600 they'll be a-ok. A max of five per post but I'll have the "Canadian-Sleeper GT700" done shortly... Over the weekend:P

PS Guys, if you haven't seen the meridian silver color (well it IS rare) it's a pretty neat take on the "silver" theme.

It's a fun addiction isn't it. If you really want to get all that power to the ground and stick like glue around the corners, buy a set of Nitto NT-01's. They do NOT work very well in the rain however. www.nittotire.com

Great write-up on a Killer Package (GT700).

Canada is getting some great cars up there!

Are any of you near Thunder Bay area?

Congrats VanBoost, Sharkey never steers people wrong.
