A few seconds later, he took the middle lane and slowed. I got alongside him. He smiled a put his foot down.
Said to myself F! it, can't let my friends on the 6 down!
I floored it...
Kill isn't the word I'd use... More like massacre!
Well done! Congrats on a beauty of a car. I liked your first post in the thread, kinda reminded me of my own thoughts when I got my car so long ago (heh, all of 6 weeks ago).

What's with Benz owners? Seems like they always want to race a 911 turbo. Nice cars too though.

Congrats man! Super nice.. didn't read all 4 pages... PDK?

That would be a tough choice... PDK or manual... I guess that's why I can keep my 996 and shoot for a PDK

Thanks! And I'm glad you remember that far back!

Seriously nice cars the Benz. Owned a few in. Liked them a lot.

Thanks! It's a PDK.
To my mind, and as we don't have a track in Kuwait, but we do have a lot of traffic, it was an obvious choice.
If we had a track, I would have probably bought a 6er.

Thanks!
I started out as an accountant. Quickly made my way up to CFO.
Moved over to operations and management.
Now I do mergers, acquisitions, corporate restructuring (both financial and operational), etc...
As to how I ended up in Kuwait, there's a saying:
Stick like glue to your source of revenue!
God bless Kuwait.

Thanks! I had a very tough time choosing between Black/Black White/Black and Meteor/Black. Love the look of your car.
Enjoy her in good health too.

My outlook on life is an allergic and opposing reaction to meeting one too many people that suffer from a certifiable medical condition called "RECTO-OPTO-ITIS"!

It's when one's line of sight is aligned to his/her own rectum, giving them a $hitty outlook on life!

I have to say 3 things:

1st: You are such a poet.

3rd: Gorgeous car and about time too.

Hugs and kisses.
