It actually happened by accident.

The real reason is my wife is getting a 997 Turbo... We are ordering it custom, in RS orange with Alcantara and CF and leather on everything with Sport Crono and PCCBs etc... her car is going to be way cooler than mine, and I got jealous and started trying to make my car cool again.

Seth... you are a nut.. You fit in just fine with all of us

Your car will look sick with Carbon interior!!! center console, doors, air vents would be perfect I think! if your horseshoe around the radio is silver maybe think about it body color

That's how it always begins. And before you know it your engine is crack open for more power.

Kevin is a mysterious guy (also a great dude at that!), and his work is also kinda mysterious, but once your part of the family you become privy to his projects (he's very meticulous, very inventive, and very quiet until he's proven to himself that something is perfect).

I get that about Kevin. I've spoken to him on a couple of occasions and it's always "soon...soon..."

I totally missed that post about the orange Turbo! That's gonna be one SICK *** car! I'll definitely have to park mine next to that Orange beast for a photoshoot! Heck...we should all get together for a photoshoot! When will that Orange monster be here?

It will be a long time before the orange is built and shipped etc... the non-standard color ads 4-6 weeks alone. The Photoshoot would be good!

I was confused by Kevin's "Soon, soon" or other mysterious behaviours at first. It's actually a good thing. He likes to be certain of things, and he's doing some very interesting stuff. He does lots of R&D that I'm sure he would love to talk about, but as a small shop he's gotta keep it on the low low.
