    Yabadabadoooo - my car's coming!

    On my commute this morning, I crossed a car delivery truck heading east (that's the direction in which my dealer is located).

    Guess what was loaded on the upper deck: a sealgrey 911S.
    I must have been mine! There's no other possibility. I must be mine.

    Gotta call the dealer! Oh, the wait finally seems to be over in just a couple of days. Live's good.

    Re: Yabadabadoooo - my car's coming!

    Hi SVNSVN,
    I went to take P-car for a drive this afternoon when the phone rang. Neighbor picked up his new Jeep Commander and asked if he could bring it over to show me. I said sure. It has the Hemi. I'm not a Jeep fan but this was pretty civilized, fast, roomy, handled well, and was well appointed inside. By the time we got back it was too late for a P-car drive.
    I promise some new "P-car in the snow" pics as soon as Mother Nature co-operates again here. My new White Squirrel Photo Gift books arrived Thursday, all 66 boxes of them! They look great; have been pretty wrapped up with promoting them. Have a radio appearance Monday morning and will sit for a newspaper article/photo shoot Monday afternoon. Two book signings coming up too.
    Been busy, having fun.

    Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock. . . .

    And since you live in Switzerland, as soon as your Porsche comes, we have to see some lovely shots of it backdropped by the awesome snow-covered Alps.

    Re: Yabadabadoooo - my car's coming!

    Guys, I will do my best with the pics.

    Was at my dealer yesterday morning. It is one great looking car. Especially the Carrera Sport wheels in body color do look supereb.

    The Seal gray looked extremly light but that might have had something to do with the sun shining into the showroom and the white floor and walls.

    Beautiful car Matt C. I'm guessing it's a "4".

    Congrats Matt, you and your dog will love her!

    I have Seal by the way and spent Sunday washing 3 weeks of UK winter weather off her which she hides well. Seal is a great colour and changes a lot with the light available.

    Enjoy your xmas present.
