    Milestone reached today

    It's just a number but a good one. I didn't have my camera at the 911 and the 997 milestones but I had it with me today on the way home from the Blue Ridge Parkway for reaching 2,000 miles. I'll post a few other pics later BUT it was hazy up there AND the P-car is pretty dirty.

    Devil's Courthouse.

    Grey on Grey.

    Re: Milestone reached today

    Re: Milestone reached today

    "Big Sky" country in the East.

    Re: Milestone reached today

    Those C4 hips really pop out nice.

    Re: Milestone reached today

    I'll be back up there soon!

    Re: Milestone reached today

    Grreaat stuff! Now you can feel the true nature of the 'force'!

    I cannot get enough of my 997 when it's up above 5K rpms!

    Re: Milestone reached today

    very nice show of patience "Padawan"

    Re: Milestone reached today

    Another pic of "The Devil's Courthouse" (LOVE the name) showing the rock outcrop that overlooks an ampitheater where The Devil is supposed to hold court. I was too lazy to walk up to it and not having my attorney with me I was afraid I might not return, sorry.


    Re: Milestone reached today

    GA997S the full leather seats look great on that black cab.

    Re: Milestone reached today

    Re: Milestone reached today

    Don - your tyre pressures seem a tad high, are you carrying heavy passengers?

    Re: Milestone reached today

    Excellent! Thanks

    Re: Milestone reached today

    HI GReaT PICS GReaT CAR!! what is the blue one?

    Re: Milestone reached today

    Thanks everyone.
    John H, I'm carrying just one "fatty", me. I just checked and the sticker inside the door-well says 37 front and 44 rear, that's what I'm running so I think it's the right pressure.
    Dilinger, that's GA997S's beauty which is black with sand interior I think.
    I'll take some more shots when:
    1.) the P-car is all clean and shiny, and
    2.) the air up on the Blue Ridge is nice and clear,
    so the beauty of both show through better.

    Re: Milestone reached today

    If you say nice things you'll just encourage me.

    The big outcrop is called Looking Glass Rock.


    Re: Milestone reached today

    Great picturesw. The mountains are wonderful. Cool car.

    Re: Milestone reached today

    Awesome pixs!

    Re: Milestone reached today

    Thanks everyone! I washed the P-car today and Rejex'd the wheels (again). It's looking real good. If the weather is good tomorrow (Sun.) I may have some more (nicer) pics.

    Re: Milestone reached today

    Thanks,Don! I'm looking forward to seeing pics of your clean baby!


    Re: Milestone reached today

    Thanks Richard, Don's silly saga continues. A beautiful crisp clear morning today, would have been awesome up on the Blue Ridge Parkway but I thought, the P-car is all nice & clean from its bath yesterday, why not put a 2nd coat of Rejex on it today (and a 3rd coat on the wheels) which I did instead. It looks GREAT!
    (I also washed my other vehicle today.) Next nice sunny day (not tomorrow, rain) I'll be up on the Parkway with the camera to get some real pretty vistas and a shiny as heck pretty again P-car!

    Re: Milestone reached today

    Nice pics

    Re: Milestone reached today

    Awesome, Don!

    Enjoy! I know the pics will be great!

    Don, I just realised you have 18" wheels so your pressures are correct.

    I was thinking of 19" which are lower. Still it shows I have your interests at heart. Great pics BTW.

    Re: Milestone reached today

    Great pictures...what caught my attention was the graphic showing the tire pressures. I have a 2005 997 Carrera, just bought it 2 weeks ago...haven't been able to find this yet so far (2/3 of the way through the manual). Is this an option or standard equipment? Could it be added, would it be worth it?

    Thanks in advance!!
    Paul

    Re: Milestone reached today

    It is option TPS( tire pressure monitoring system) I don't think it can be added, but not 100% sure.

    Re: Milestone reached today

    Can't be retro-fitted - unfortunately.
