I think the Agate and Classic is the best yet.
Congrats!
Truly beautiful Spyder

not exactly a flattering pic.. I swear my sweater was bunching up cause I don't have a pouch (ok, starting a diet).. Anyway.. It happened.

Nothing I say here will be new.. So I'll spare the OMG impressions. I'll just limit myself to "OMG the proportions are so much more beautiful in real life.. What a classic!!!!!!"

The day was Topped off by a wonderful and wonderfully unexpected call from Stout, who provided me with some much appreciated Porsche connoisseur perspective on the Spyder. Perfect day... Happiest man on earth.

Tomorrow.. Rain or shine it's top-down drive with the fiancée up hwy 1 along the coast from San Francisco until the gas runs out.. Gonna break it in west-coast style.

Looking forward to some group drive with people on here .. Thank you all and goodnight.

Sounds like a great day planned! 1 should be clear, and not much rain? Local group drive soon. Plenty of Bay Area cars. Enjoy!

I like the way you framed those shots. What gear are you using?
iPhone? Real cameras?

Beautiful! Agate is a great color - I'll be transitioning mine to a GT Silver soon though. Hides the dirt well too.

Oh well.. still exciting. I'll share pics and video with sound again once we have completed a few of the mods like the pepita inserts, GT4 scoops, custom CA heritage plates, and the Fabspeed headers which are coming.

I will be acheing to drive her when i pick her up monday but she will go first thing to get the clear bra installed. must be disciplined...argh!!!
Congrats - beautiful car (but I may be biased as it looks very close to my build ) !

Can't wait to see the photos.

Thanks.

It's just an old compact Fujifilm that fits in my pocket.

Exquisite? GT Silver? Car is just gorgeous! Why do you get to live in FL where you can actually drive it in January, and I live in PA and have to wait for the snow and salt to clear. Not fair!!
