    Re: new pics from Stuttgart

    Thanks for the pictures, Dario. Since the factory deleted my "wheels painted in exterior color" option, the car on these pictures looks exactly like the car I'm getting.
    Interesting preview...

    Well, getting painted wheels later when you already got the car shouldn't be the problem (if you still want them).

    I hate waiting...a few days before the car arrives at my dealer, I'll surely have pretty sleepless nights.

    I wish I could get the car now but on the other hand, I'm sitting up to my neck in work, I wouldn't really have time to drive it.
    Regarding the black painted wheels: I doubt I'll do it any time soon. If I do it at my dealer, the paint shop has to remove the tires from the rims or at least deflate them. I don't want to take the risk of the paint shop damaging the tires, so I wait until I need new tires. It may take a while though...especially since I'll get winter wheels for winter driving.

    The 997 Carrera S in GT silver looks great amidst all the other cars at the background



    I was thinking the same thing; the 997S looks great: timeless. I might be mistaken, but is that's not GT silver, is it? Looks like seal grey, or what used to be seal grey. Maybe not.

    frog or fog lights



    Yeh, you really have to watch out for those frogs crossing the road at night during their migration season.

    (Germany must be one of the few countries in the world where low fences are erected along roads during spring and fall to stop frogs crossing the roads by themselves and getting squashed. Instead, people collect them from behind those fences, put them in plastic buckets, and carry them to the nearest pond.
    Anybody who thought that they were sold on to French restaurants after being collected is a mean-spirited cynic! )

    Can't you get the winter wheels painted in black - so you still have both options.

    Which exterior colour did you chose? I could imagine that a colour slightly lighter than black would fit even better to those wheels - aka the anthracite paintjob on Lambo wheels!
