Saying hi :)

The first Porsche I've ever driven, blissful 1300kms so far... Feels funny driving a rear engined car and I'm not yet as comfortable throwing it around as I am with my M5, but I'm in love with the mechanical feel and sound of this fine piece of machinery

Some pics of the new love affair:

note: clear side markers are already on


I like b&w photos:


Cheers!

2004. I'm getting into a habit of buying end of production run cars... Bought an 03 M5 a couple of months before the last one left the factory

Both are nice machines. I was going to get the M5 myself but, went for my C4S instead. I was driving a 2003 986 prior to this car and really was happy with the car. What made me shy away was the sales manager's attitude at my local BMW dealer. He acted like he wasn't interested in what I had to say and so I walked out and bought my Porsche that week and drove it several times past the BMW dealer real slow to let that ***** see it was me. Payback is fun handing out.

Wow, those are some really nice shots of a really nice car. Just a question, did you fall off the guard rail after that last picture or are you 10' tall?

My size 12 and a half are so wide that I can walk on air

In reality, I was perched on top of that armco like a rooster on his fence... Hence the need to take these pics early in the morning, otherwise "Against ARMCO Abuse" organization would slap me silly
