The precious as arrived!
Ok, ok! Just picked it up yesterday, One of the most memorable experiences of my life, I'm still in hyperactive mode such is the emotion overload. Sort of like a combination between this and this

Very professional delivery, as expected, they even offered me a Cayman S Porsche miniature, Arctic Silver no less, and a complimentary tank full of gas

Special mention to the PSE option, even just blipping the throttle slightly in idling it produces a very "complex" growl. While driving every blip gives you a touch of that racing snarl , can't wait to complete run in period to give it full voice. Will report more on this at a later stage for those interested in this option.

The weather as been awful here but the god's had mercy on me and it didn't rain all the time I was out wandering with my new baby. I parked it safely and after a while the skies opened!

If I close my eyes I can easily do a virtual tour of my car as it sits in the garage, sense its interior smell and exhaust/engine heat as it cools down. Did this happen to you? I'm hopelessly in love, gonna skip dating and go straight to marriage!

Here are some pics as it sat waiting for me, it was a miracle I got a grip to get this shots as I wasn't exactly thinking about good compostion and exposure. Hopefully I'll take more decent one's on future outings!





Now I'm going to find out how to add it to the registry, and pray really hard for the weather to be sunny...

love them wheels.....

just to let you know windshield wipers are not an option...they are actually a standard believe it or not (rear wiper is extra)...so you can enjoy your car in the rain...it handles pretty good in the wet stuff to boot.

I know how stoked you are finally getting your new wheels. I still feel that way after six months. Enjoy.

Seeing another human being get all emotional over a car makes me feel that maybe I'm not so weird after all.

Love the color

The pics look great. Love the background, very industrial looking. It's almost like a poster.

Beautiful car, and great choice on the wheel style.

More pics are always nice: different angles, interior shots, wheel close-ups, etc.

Congrats. My meteor grey CS is somewhere between Finland and North Carolina. Vicarious enjoyment through other's deliveries keeps me sane.

Thank you and cheers for us all

I think monday just the two of us are going to hit the road and drive to the next beautiful mountain road and beyond, purely just because! Mountain tiwsties and fine german racing tools go well together

I love photography, but just recently began doing it as a hobby. Next drive's I will take a tripod with me and hope to take some nicer pictures to share.

I don't have any petrolhead friend's so I know I can open my heart here without people going or After all I just got back from my garage where I spent a good hour just looking at it and sitting on the inside...
