    AMAZING!!! Finally got it!!!

    Unbelievable...stupendous...incredible..I'm not sure there is a superlative to describe the sensation of driving my new 997S. I picked it up last night (Thanks Maciej @ Napleton) and I have to say I am dumbfounded.

    Now, hopefully it will remain reliable.

    I put the 18" CIII wheels and the new Continental Wintercontact 810 tires on. I will post a review as soon as we get some snow again. But, I am impressed at the dry pavement performance. They aren't "nervous" at all.

    I'll post pics as soon as I get the car cleaned and the clear side markers on...

    Mike what is the status of your CGT? Is here? I saw a Boxster today in race yellow. Loved it.

    You make it hard for me to wait until April (or even later?). But then I hope I'll have the same enthusiasm you have.

    I'll post pics tomorrow when I get a chance to clean the car. But, don't worry...the GT silver/Sea Blue combo is, IMHO, awesome...
