New to the Turbo world

Another new Houston owner. Car was purchased a week ago at Momentum Porsche, it was a trade in for a 997 Turbo. It is a gorgeous car that had 14,8xx miles on it with 1 owner. The original owner put smoked sidemarkers, a Passport SRX, and a set of Cargraphic 19x8 / 19x12's (305 PS2's in the back). Its been an awesome car so far, but just my luck since the night of it coming home its done nothing but rain. To make it worse it is a daily driver so she is really dirty right now. Also so is the garage, the whole other part of the garage currently houses my race car and all the random parts laying around.



Only good picture I have of it now! Soon as the rain clears up and I can clean the car up some pictures will be taken.

I don't think any of the Houston people really know me, but Dr. Joe has met my brother Matt (Black FRC Vette with the 427 and Fikse Profil 5's).

Hopefully will be doing a tune (with diverters) and then go from there. If anyone knows the old owner (or is the old owner), let me know.

I'm in Friendswood. Any of you all ever meet up? I saw a few TT's at Lonestar Raceway one night a month or two ago. I did not really talk to any of them. I was with a friend testing out a new Z06 with a cam.

Nice ride, I saw it at Momentum recently myself, your lucky black's my most unlucky car color or I'd of had it myself.

With all these Houston members around we'll have to arrange a meet sometime for sure.

Sean I saw that you were going to get a new camera soon to get some pictures. My buddy has a Canon 30D and knows how to use it. Maybe we can get Joe, you, and whoever else is in Houston to get some good pictures somewhere nice around town. I know some places in Houston look awesome in the dark, and some during the day are awesome.

Stay away from the Silver 02... But I think you already have one on the way. Lets just say it is not as nice as it seems....

Lets definately arrange a meet. Chris (roadsterdoc) suggested doing so a while ago. My car is finally finished and ready to be photographed. With all due modesty, it is a beauty and the custom subwoffer box has to be seen.

Ray what wheels do you have? I've seen a few pictures you've taken of your car at night and they look bad ***!

We'll have to figure out when everyone is free and pick a day.
