Hey SD - doing alright- residency training sucks the life out of ya, though.! I miss the Porsche! the 330 zhp is a nice car, but just doesnt feel like a sports car. have been talking to my wife about maybe giving her the bimmer and buying another Porsche - but that may be another year or so down the road. In the meantime, I'll just tweak here and there on the BMW.

We did take a trip up the coast to Monterey a few weeks back - if you're ever up that way, an amazing drive (in addition to the PCH) is Carmel Valley Village Dr - nice gentle drive for the first 11 miles into the valley and into Carmel Valley Village, where you can stop and have a nice lunch and glass of wine. Then, continue on and the road is an amazing two lane windy adventure for miles and miles that makes you feel like you're screaming through the european country side - wahooooooooo! Only thing better would have been driving it in a Porsche. Passed somebody coming up the PCH a few days earlier in an old 356 convertible with a huge smile on their face as they zipped around the corner - lovely!

How are things with you - still love the car?
