I remember two threads you recently initiated in the TT forum; one concerning an Autoweek poll about exotic cars and another about a CGT article, both of which were both unrelated to TTs. Lighten up, it happens all the time. The guy's just excited about his new car. Just like Robert's excited about his new Lambo - and I know I didn't read about it in the Lambo forum.

the guy admitted he knew it didn't belong here but intentionally decided to ignore the site's rules so that 997 people would see his car since boxster people were apparently not interested enough in it on that forum.
as for my CGT posts being on the TT board, many of my TT friends have bought CGTs and/or are "in the market" right now and don't read the GT3/GT2/GT boards. suppose many of the 997 guys are in the market for a boxster?
out of curiousity, did robt's lambo post keep from getting moved to the lambo forum?

I could care less if this guy's thread gets moved! My point about Robert's Lambo thread (and I use it as an example only) is that it did not get moved, but I didn't see you *****ing about it. Frankly, I'm glad it was posted in the TT section because I never would have read it in the Lambo forum.
As for your friends, if they are so "in the market" for a CGT, perhaps they should frequent that forum more often? However, because you're lucky enough to own a CGT, and it's you doing the posting, it's okay if you post a CGT thread in the TT forum. I'm sure many TT guys would love to "upgrade" to a CGT (as opposed to downgrade to a Boxster).

Very nice pics. 987S is indeed quite an improvement over 986S. Your car looks great and I hope you take great care of it.
Hope you are coming to the May Carlsen meet. Would like to meet some P car owners.
