New guy checking in.

I picked up an 01 C2 a couple weeks ago. Had been driving a sedan (M5) then a roadster (Shelby 427) but decided a coupe or smaller sedan would be ideal -- besides my wife wouldn’t ride in the roadster. After driving an S4, M3, and C2 it was a fairly easy choice; I picked up this car Thanksgiving eve. The weather in Denver has been less than perfect so I haven’t driven it a lot but I’ve really enjoyed the seat time. If you can’t drive what do you do? MOD! So, I’ve added XM, hard wired the radar detector, removed the cupholders & moved the climate controls up, added Ultimate Cupholders, put in bumperplugs and changed to ATE blue. Flash2go GDO and GHL exhaust are already on order. I’m sure the board will give me plenty more ideas and advice on additional projects! I’ll take pictures soon, maybe after the windows are tinted but until then – here are a couple of the dealer pics –

Thanks for a great messageboard.

Mike

Eric, already got some from you!!! They'll be prominently displayed when I get my own pics taken instead of showing these dealer shots.

THANKS! I'm south of town in Highlands Ranch so about an hour from Boulder. But I drove to Boulder for about a year and a half so know hwy 93 very well.

Teflon - I've had a couple of powerful Fords, a Corvette, and 3 BMW's but this is the 1st Pcar. I love fast toys and really enjoy working on them so the Porsche should be a blast!

Thanks for the warm welcomes.

Mike,
Welcome to the board. We crossed paths over at M5board, I had just picked up my M5 and you were selling yours.
I've since sold the M5 and picked up an '02 C2 cab.
Your C2 looks great, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Let the modding begin!
Cheers,
Stan
