    Some people are lead, some people lead.

    I dress the same as I did 20 years ago, jeans and tee's, same hair style, still think the 928 is the coolest.

    Was this you 20 years ago Ferdie?

    Strange "moves" to try with a CGT, it's more an old BMW kind of thing, drifting roundabouts

    Very impressive nonetheless, but I still prefer them lapping the Nordschleife, cruising autobahns at 300+kph, ...

    Re: Saw this jalopy last week

    I don't think Black/Terracotta is an attractive combination (the dark interior is much more striking), but even so who can argue with personal preference, or deny another's.

    GT Silver is the iconic color in this car, too bad they didn't keep it exclusive to the car (imo)

    Re: Saw this jalopy last week

    racerx:
    Last week I was watching mechanics take off bottom tray to get at transmission and engine at the local dealer.

    CGT in silver is such a waste.

            Am I mistaken or is this CGT incorrectly mounted on the lift? I thought the CGT required a strap down system for a lift. I recall hearing/seeing this when the CGT's first started arriving in the U.S.

    I'll share some pictures as well:

    I still don´t get over this black mat paint. It still remembers me the colour the fenders have on a car after you have to change it because of an accident and it isn´t painted! But the Carrera GT is awesome!!!

    Did you take that picture? Or did I? I remember putting a bunch up of that car, it was at Herb Chambers Porsche in Boston a couple years back. 

     

    Here's a couple CGT pics I took.

    That picture was mine. I do remember seeing yours though. I was planning on posting more pictures from that same day of the CGT but ImageShack has managed to misplace them! Smiley

     Did you happen to stop in there when a 959 was chillin in the same spot? Smiley

    This 959 is still amazing young. Put some other rims on it and change the blurry front light glasses to modern clear glass - Voila, there we go to have an ideal framework for a 997 successor!

    I did! And in fact it should still be there! It's just on display as part of the owner (Mr. Chambers) collection, but I talked to his son at the dealer and he said to me "everything can be had to for the right price!"
