    This is the agent J.007 and I have a message for you

    I was able to enter on the highly security Porsche peremeter today. The security was very high, but making use of some high tech equipment, I was able to get inside the Porsche secret field where all the jewels were standing together. There were more than one hundred and fourty jewels together, and the best news is that I was able to took more than 20 pictures of several new Porsche jewels, and even better than that, I took my jewel with me, put it next to a bright red and shiny 997, and took several pictures of both standing together

    That's right, I went to Estoril circuit today and took several pictures of the 997 close to my car.
    The 997 is indeed very beautiful. The rear, is not as large, as I was expecting and the front is less agressive than the 996 02, but that doesn't mean that is uglier, because it isn't, the car has a more smiling front than the 996. Overall impression is that it's more beautiful than the 996. The interior is fine, leather every where. The steering of the Carrera is far more beautiful than the one from the Carrera S. The 18" wheel , look like 17" next to the 19" wheels from the S. I really was hopping to see life the 996 and 997 together, and there's not an amazing difference between the two. It was wonderful to be in the midle of so many 997 in a open field. Porsche mechanics were driving the cars inside the parking lot, and the engine sound of the S, is defenetly meaner than the 996 without PSE.

    RC I have several pics to post, let me know if I can post them due to the privicy of this event. I don't want to cause any trouble to anyone.

    PS - RC, why don't you tell your friend from Porsche who invite you to be one week in this event, that you have a friend in Portugal, that speaks French, English and Spanish besides Portuguese, that can be there during the all month to host everyone, I'm serious, at least I could be there during one week.

    Thanks for the info. I thought the CS would have the nicer steering from the pics that I have seen. Can you please tell us what you didn't like about it and what you liked about the Carrera's steering?

    Thanks again and hope you are able to post those pics

    J.Seven, I don't know if the bucket and spade you stole off that kid on the beach to use to tunnel your way under the perimeter fence would count as "high tech".

    Re: This is the agent J.007 and I have a message for you

    The shape of the CS steering is some how very poor. The Carrera steering is far more defined in the center area, I can't really understand why the S gets the uglier steering. As always, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    Sounds you had a great day, J.
    Of course you can post the pictures but maybe you can wipe out faces only, I think you understand what I mean.

    Thanks again!

    I got three eMails and two PM regarding the same issue over the past 48 hours from different people.
    I'm afraid it was a once-in-a-lifetime occasion because I talked to somebody who was supposed to find somebody reliable for this job. A week ago I also spoke to another person who was supposed to go there but he couldn't (or didn't want to) because he needed to take a vacation to be able to do it. And this guy was a Porsche employee too.
    I'm not sure if they found as many people as they needed for the job but of course I'm very very sad I couldn't attend. Not because of the cars, I already saw enough 997 but because of the opportunity to meet interesting people and get some new contacts. And the gossip talk is always very very common too during such events. And what is more interesting than gossip from people who are very close to Porsche?
    A sales person from my dealer goes to Estoril this month, if he can't go, I volunteer. Just kidding, I don't think my wife would stay one week alone with the kids, especially since she's working too. That's life...one has to set priorities.
    But I wish I could have made it to Estoril...

    Re: This is the agent J.007 and I have a message for you

    RC, you mean that - to avoid their later embarrassment - he should wipe the silly grin off people's face when they get out of the 997s after test drives, right?

    Re: This is the agent J.007 and I have a message for you

    Hi J. Seven - Please post the pics 'Shaken not stirred'
