Yep - grey Lambo ragtop is one of mine.

Those rims are the standard 997 Turbo items. You can spec different style wheels - like the GT3 ones - when you order the car. Or you can have the dark bits body coloured, or painted black. There was a yellow 997 Turbo Cab at Porsche with yellow wheel inserts... that was a bad call.

That black one is owned by the brother of the guy we picked up our silver one from.

I'm just excited my 360CS is back in town. F*CK what a noise!

It makes the Lambo sound like a sewing machine! Race Mode FTW :banana:

I saw a grey Gallardo convertible on the weekend, cruising the great ocean rd... WITH THE ROOF UP!!! it was a beautiful day too...

saw this sexy thing today when i was getting some lunch:

(i'm still not decided on the factory wheels)

Me either man, never really liked them... though they looked alright in grey on a white 997 Turbo

Would look much better with GT3 rims on it...

PS James, take me for a spin, pleeeeease! :bunny:

James,

I too saw the SPEED YELLOW 997 911TT Cab at Porsche a few weeks ago and just couldn't believe that the person that ordered it had ticket the $2890 exterior paint option box for the rims. Curious if they had also ticket the Seat Belts in Speed Yellow for $990 as well. Personally I dont really like these rims and would find myself spending countless hours cleaning them even though they have the black inserts as standard, hmm then again if I got the PCCB, maybe they wouldn't need cleaning so much. I personally think the fried egg lamps on the front of the 996 are nice but great to see Porsche move back to the original looking lights on the 997, hence I would order a 997 over the 996 any day of the week. For power, looks and over all GRUNT.

Yeah - that's the Sienna crew

You can see a TR behind the Murch and a 355 over the road.

Here is the 997 Turbo Cab Taxi - and yes, yellow seatbelt and yellow interior options were ticked...

I've just heard a very interesting bit of news that has me cracking 1/2 a fat :domokun:

Apparently Aston has been developing a car in secrecy over the past 2 years or so that was unveiled to a very select group of people this week.....and they have been given strict intrustions to keep things quiet so don't expect details anytime soon.

All I can say is that its small, powered by 12 cylinders and is the quickest car Aston has ever produced. Could this be the Porsche beater that the Vantage didn't quite live up to be??

Terrible... such a shame.

Personally I think that anytime a Turbo is ordered in cabriolet it's a porka wasted... :rofl:

I bloody well hope so, i can imagine jeremy clarkson on top gear now telling the world its the best car ever:P

Ant, your talking about the Vantage that has a DBRS9 (thats the race engine) shoe horned into it. Auto blog had some photo's of it up on wednesday.

If its true it would be a sexual experience to drive that.

Like I said, not sure of any details past what I wrote but I have it on very good authority from someone who was there that the very car was unveiled in front of them...so I'd take it that it is no rumour :rofl:

    • Ended up spending a WHOLE day yesterday cleaning and rearranging my shed.  Due to the aforementioned disorder, my shed is as cluttered and confused as my brain. Again, because of said disorder,  at any one time there are 5 projects on the go at once and because they're still on the go I don't put everything away so I can "get straight back to it" which rarely happens.. So anyway,  I bought a couple of cheap 2mx2m all steel "pallet racks" to put in my back shed.  The idea is to then take pretty much everything out of the main shed that isn't car related. Most of the garden and building stuff is now booted out to the back shed and onto to the shelves where they belong! There's still more rearranging and reallocating to do and it's still a bit busy in there but it's a massive improvement on how it was previously. I've discovered floor space I forgot I had...  For those that have fully dismantled a car before will understand just how much space it takes up!  Particularly panels, bumpers, engine/trans, etc.  I've got stuff hanging on every available wall to get it up off the floor!  This is not exciting content for a blog but has certainly made the shed feel like a more work ready space now!
    • Updating results from our ATR43SS-1 turbo in T3 .63, OEM bolt dump pattern. Not a big number but pretty sweet for a stock Rb20det. Car's managed to pull 220rwkws at 20psi, perfect boost control internally gated with EBC and excellent mid top end power band as they usually skydive after 5.5K. Usual bolt on supporting mods and inlet plenum and factory location exhaust manifold. Pump 98 fuel was used (Ron 93).
