RC, can you give us an update on your car and how its been with the tip 
Been reading a lot of mags having negative inputs on it 
. Have always enjoyed your views and its been quite a while since we heard from you . Do drop us a line and fill us in on what the Beast been doing over the last couple months. Cheers! 
:! Mine will be arriving next month and its a Tip thus I value your opinion on it 
I'm still alive
but I have sooooooooo much work, I don't even know how I can finish it.
As some of you may know, I have a real life job (not car related) and a wife and two little kids. My life has become very complicated, very stressful and since money IS an issue, unfortunately, I can't spend too much time over here right now. My business is running slow, the laws over here have been changed and I really have to "fight" for each and every customer. There is nothing I can really change about it since I rely mostly on state insurance payments over here but work has been killing me lately and the monetary gain from it is more than ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I'm not close to bankruptcy or leading a poor man's life in the future but it has become very difficult for me to maintain my current life style, especially regarding the family. So I need to work more, to think of new stuff and I can't be around Rennteam.com too much, sorry.
Regarding the 997 Turbo, my review is almost completed, it just needs a little bit of "finetuning". I have now almost 4000 km on my 997 Turbo and I love this car. Is it perfect? Nope, the 997 Turbo has some flaws but nothing really important.
Did I regret my Tiptronic decision? Not a single day.
Unfortunately I don't get to drive my Turbo too often, so when I come home at around 8 pm, I kiss my kids good-night and I jump into my Turbo for a half an hour drive. Very frustrating right now.
And as a last thing: I also have been a little bit disappointed after our "Rennteam Party" back in July, when somebody who took part in our comparison driving wrote something pretty ugly in my opinion. Maybe it wasn't his intention and maybe he didn't mean it the way he wrote it (his mother language not being English) but I took it to the heart and since that time, my passion for Rennteam has been put to a lower level. It will change over the next few weeks and months but right now I set new priorities, earning money and keeping my family happy.
Hope you guys understand. I'm still around but not posting much but the review will be available any time soon, hopefully this weekend.
