    It's here

    Amazing how inadequate the pictures are. I'm delighted with the classic 19s. Ended up adding sport chrono and adaptive seats at the last minute and don't regret it. So refined a sports car. Surpasses my wildest hopes.

    Congrats on your new 911! Did you replace the amber side marker light yourself or did you order the clear side marker light from the factory?

    Congratulations!

    Great looking car. I agree with Carlos about the wheels. It is a very clean look, which I like.

    Re: It's here

    Congratulations man!!!

    I also like those 19".

    Keep it up!!! . The best thing of those wheels apart from its size, is that its easy to clean them. In the other hand my wheels (base wheels of the S model) are difficult to clean them!!!
    Nice house too

    Re: It's here

    Thanks for the kind words, and to all for advice in specifying the car. I'm enjoying it.

    Our place is in a town called Sherborn, outside of Boston. It's nice to get the car with a couple of months left before the snow falls.

    The side markers are through the mail from Suncoast Porsche. The dealer put them on for me. Huge difference.

    The interior is natural grey, quite dark. I'd recommend considering as an alternative to black.

    Awesome. I'm thinking of cobalt blue or GT silver with natural grey. If possible, could you give us some interior pics of the natural grey? TIA.

    Couple more pics

    The interior isn't done justice. The carpet looks purplish in the pics; in real life everything's all rich grey tones.

    Hey Booger, nice ride,funny name. I'm just west of you in central MA. If you want to break it in with some other folk, let me know. To everyone out there we have just reached peak foliage color a week ago and it is spectacular this year.

    Norm Abram

    We had a Norm Abram sighting a few years ago at a restaurant a bit W of here. I thought my wife's reaction was a bit too gleeful. I wonder what he drives.

    Re: Couple more pics

    Booger, congratulations on your car and thanks for the pics!

    Did you drive the 997 with the std. (Turbo) brakes as well? Did you experience any difference in ride suppleness, handling etc.?

    Greetings!
