Congrats on a great find with such low miles, and that's a really nice trip!

As with above, what color is it?

I too have a C2 and began the mod slippery slope. Your car is the first I've seen on this forum and Rennlist other than mine that has the AM roof antenna. I removed the whip and replaced it with a stubby unit I had from my E46 M3 'vert. Since I never use AM I figured it would look better. I actually wanted to replace it with the flat version (for nav, etc.) but I couldn't justify the cost especially since mine doesn't have it.

First thing I did on mine was suspension and wheels and lighting, although I'm on my second set of wheels now. I kept my 18" like yours for tracking and AutoX.

Picture of stubby antenna. By the way, what wide angle lens are you using? Love the pictures!

 

Love hearing stories like these, congrats on your purchase and thank you for sharing It looks like you have a great looking car. Is this your first Porsche then ? For more information about suspension components Click Here. Enjoy.

 

Aaargh...damn you guys.
Now the little mod wheels in my head are turning )

 

Congrats on the car! I was actually looking to buy my car on thw West coast (I live in NY) for that same reason. I once bought a car in Arizona, and the trip home was the best "first drive". When you first buy one you can't get enough anyway!

X...

 

So rad! What an awesome trip! It's a great way to get to know your car too. I bought mine in Washington and drove it down to SoCal. No where near as far, but still a fun drive.

 

^^^ That's funny! Up here in WA all the dealers go down to the auction in Riverside, CA to get their cars.

Nice car, by the way.

 

Its Porsche Racing Green

Really, was it the one on ebay?

Thanks! I averaged about 850 miles per day

Oh man! Yeah this is exactly what I am looking to do, are those Brombacher wheels?

 

Yes first Porsche and thanks. I actually work at a suspension manufacturer so I think I got the suspension covered

Very interesting, bummer since the antenna is kind of an eyesore. I have a stubby s2000 antenna laying around. I will probably try that.

Very sharp looking car btw, and the camera I used was a iPhone 5
I used panoramic mode for the wide shots.
I am assuming your car is also Racing Green?

 

Great story, glad you had a great trip. My wife and I did the reverse direction last summer. Bought our first P-car in Montreal, Quebec and drove it home to Calgary, Alberta through the US. Took 5 days and had an amazing time.

 

Yep, Work Brombracher wheels. They will be for sale soon, I have a set of OZ Superleggeras on order (going on 3 months now!)

 

good god man! 3 months??????

 

I know. I am beyond pissed at this point...

 

Congrats on your new 997. I'm in Richmond too. Hope to see you on the roads. Let me know if you want to get together to chat about the cars.

My Dad just got a 997S Cab and plans on taking it cross country as well. Looks like an awesome trip !!

 

Thanks - mine is black.

 

oh cool!

Cool! Do you ever go to the cars and coffee meet? Seems like all the Porsche guys go to that locally.

Cool, I am a huge Work wheels fan, I just ordered a set of Work Meister S1 3pc today. The spending has commenced!
