Down the road from me then 馃憤
Lots more Ferraris / Maseratis / McLarens around the horsey areas than I ever saw in Silicon Fen. My Lotuses were as exiting as it got most places I worked while there.

Poster-worthy. One of those photos I could just sit and stare at for hours on end.

yep, all the Apollo AstroVettes are still around (remember the gold-colored Corvettes for Apollo 12, or the white, blue & red for Apollo 15 astronauts)

Really interesting article on Al Bean's Stingray in last November's Octane magazine. One of several illustrations below:

I can't stand swan neck wings. Totally understand the benefits for the track but on the street it just looks really silly.

Can't wait for the (what I hope is inevitable) Touring package reveal

I believe they confirmed it during the event for sometime next year.
I don't dislike the wing on the 992 GT3...but just makes me wonder what the RS wing will look like lol. I'm worried it may be a little much.

I've never really been too keen on the super-focused track day cars, for me the regular GT3 is pushing the sporty balance to the limit of comfortable usability. Being stuck at home in the winter with a sports car that hates things like weather and long drives will mess with your value ideals in ways that 20-year-old you would never have anticipated!

But look Brad, whichever blue it is, you're apparently presented with a matched-colour chronograph! 'Free Inside' is an old-fashioned sales ploy, but surely new-to-Porsche?

Ok well that sold me. Where do I sign? Hah.
The online builder is up on the Porsche Europe website.
A little buggy though...as they tend to be at first.

Hopefully you are only picking up some screws lol.
The dedicated motorcycle parking at my local Home Depot always leaves me scratching my head hah.
