    Finally after months of waiting and delays, the car is nearly here. Should be delivered to me at the end of the week or maybe even tomorrow!

    Apparently the paint shop was undergoing remodelling or retooling. We are thinking this was at least a 2mth delay. Once production got going again, the car got built and shipped quite quickly.

    Supposed to be here tonight!

    Send some pics Peter ASAP so we can all drool and have instant gratification.


    I hope we can get together for a drive this summer! I get back from Europe at the end of July!

    Talk to you soon.

    Hoping to get the word the car has arrived any moment. I'll be there for the official "unwrapping" this afternoon. I'm somewhat nervous about my bold color choices so hoping it will be as cool as I planned.

    Steve, for sure lets try to get together later this summer. Im really bummed I am just missing the get together in Europe as I'll be there in a few weeks. Maybe we look at August/Sept for a Northwest R8 GTG.
