If all goes well she should be back here on Monday and after a couple of lil' showings/show type of stuff it's back to business. Watch this space soon for another fun magazine piece done in Arizona with Todd's 6speed version of the same thing and of course Mana's yellow convertible thingy. The funny thing about the article was that it just so happened that the editor got to see what is arguably the fastest 6 speed 996TT, the fastest convertible 996TT and then the fastest chicktronic 996TT all in the same place at the same time (running examples anyways!).
So with that in mind I'm obviously going to go to the drag strip very soon. I ran 10s on low boost and with bent rods but what can we do now I wonder
? I know Tommy's down, who else wants to go to Sacramento.. we should get a few of us together and just head up there on a Saturday!

Let's have bets on what goes next:P
I often wonder if I were to ever sell this car (which I will do over my dead body btw) you know the advert will say?
"Garage queen. Never tracked, abused or raced. Always babied and mostly freeway miles".

Imagine limited slip putting it down to all four wheels and no weak links in the motor, clutch or drivetrain.
Driver may be another story.
