That truly should be a tremendous experience. Ahh, one day...
i was wondering about that actually... i thought to myself "that kinda sucks... we're picking up a 997 GT3, and they're giving out 996 keychains/models? WTF..."

hahaha

anyway, what's with no pictures at the factory tour? boo!!!

Although I didn't go on the "full length" factory tour, I did get to see some of the factory on my "abbreviated" tour and you will not be disappointed! I'm not surprised that they don't allow pictures. Trade secrets, etc. When I went on the X5/Z3 (at the time) tour in South Carolina, they didn't allow pictures either. My guess is that ALL factory tours around the world doesn't allow pictures at all.

Are you planning to pick up the RT12 and the GT3 around the same time? I see in your signature that you're picking up the GT3 in Sept and I recall you saying that you had to wait before getting the RT12. You truly lead a charmed life! Congrats to you!

I was at Ruf a few weeks back and saw it in the showroom. It looks perfect in white.

SICK!! Saw Mr. Ruf himself driving one during F1 in Bahrain (they're opening a RUF mini-factory there)

Gees...I would probably swim to Germany to pick it up. I'd be so excited I'd beat the plane. That is one incredible car. I LOVE the interior!!! I'd say have fun but how could you not?

Nice! Take lots of pics and video. If I can't buy one, at least I can live vicariously through someone who can.
