Hey I love sports cars, hell good cars of any stripe. And in my experience, car people, regardless of vehicular biases, are a better form of cat. Congrats, sweet stable...enhanced by the F Type.

Thanks! Mine was one of the rare 5MT. The dog leg first took a little getting used to. I truly loved that car, but it was the first year of computerized dash info and that was just a nightmare.

I had an 84' widebody 928 built by DP Motorsports that had a 5 speed. Was a fun car for sure. It also had a supercharger on it which definitely brought a lot of smiles.

Man, I like that. Back when Widebodies were clean and not like today where it looks like they just bolted on fender flairs.

I think I've seen a number of Instagram posts of your car!! I also have the Dark Sapphire. Love what you've done with yours

I look forward to meeting others and seeing what you've done to yours.

BEAUTY!! CONGRATS! Love the interior choice

Well, I have had several Porsches including air cooled 911's and twin turbo 997. The air cooled 993 is my biggest regret for selling but both the R and the SVR put way more of a smile on my face that the P cars did. Spent a fortune on exhaust packages and every time I hear a vacuum cleaner I think there goes my turbo. The 997 had extraordinary costs for simple things that did not go right so I don't miss any of it.

My SVR is my smile car. The Panamera will be daily for winter seasons and more than two people trips. The 911 didn't work for me when I looked at them. The Panamera should for the given use.

Haven't received them yet, but I expect so since the diameter on the tips are 2-3 mm oversized.
