14 Months Not that Long of a Wait
14 Months I have waited. I started this quest in Dec. of 2008 Ordered the car originally on Feb 7 2009 In Ice Blue Color in Aug. I was told no IBM so I went with PTS Azzurro California Blue. I was worried about the color until the car came in. WOW is all I can say Love the color Love the Black Blue Interior. Everything was better than expected. With one exception the leather has blue stitching which looks great but the leather around the PCM has black stitching. I assumed it would all be blue. Dealer said if it was suppose to be blue they would replace. Not sure if anyone else has a Turbo S with black blue interior and if they have same at their PCM.

Was able to put 100 miles on the car last night. Love the PDK in sport mode. Have keep RPM'S under 4200 and will for a break in period. But this car is fast wicked fast. Even put the top down for a quick ride with my son he loved it says he wants it for his Bday one day. I told him ok for your 50th Bday its yours I ordered the car when I was 48 I will turn 50 this month so What a Birthday present for me

Here are a few photos of the car taken right at twilight with my Iphone. These photos don't do the color its due Justice but still pretty good. I will gets some better photos on a clear day with a good camera.

Wow, congrats!!! I really really love that color. This is the "darkest" I've seen it... must get really light in the sun. Very cool...
