The day is finally here

71 days after the engine grenaded I just dropped it off to get the 500 mile oil change done. Eurosport is going to do a full inspection and had it back to me after lunch so I'll have a full report this afternoon on how the new engine performs. And hey, if anything happens in the next two years it's on Porsche...not me!!!
