    PICS OF MY CARRERA S..

    Had my car about 2 weeks now, and only done 200 or so miles as have been too busy at work to drive it! am being careful not to push the emgine too hard when cold as this is when it can come to harm. it can take 15mins or more for oil temp to be at correct temp, apart from random wind noise from passenger door area, the car is great! have lots of pics inside and out of car, so if anyone wants a specific pic to be posted let me know!

    Looks great! For security reasons and your own privacy I suggest you disguise the license plate. Just a tip.

    Great car and pics Grant...enjoy

    I've Just got in from a long drive and like you, I'm trying to break the car in slowly.
    Touched 6k revs 4 times today (warm engine) my discipline is not what it used to be. This car just wants to go and I love the sound and performance step to much. Car should be fine though. What's your running in plan

    As a Brit in the US, I've been asked this before, as well as "are the pedals reversed?!" It always makes me laugh. People don't seem to realise the only difference with right-hand drive is that you sit on the right. The gear stick operates exactly the same and the pedals too.

    It makes more sense to sit on the right as the majority of people in the world are right handed - so surely it is safer to leave your dominant hand on the steering wheel when changing gear, fiddling with the radio, etc. with your left?

    the colour is seal grey, with black leather, i love it because it changes tone when the sun comes out.

    Absolutely, also this leaves ones sword hand free, handy if you have to go south of the river (or gun hand I suppose for our NY viewers)
