Mt first Porsche - I got lucky!

[woodsman]

Tomc88, You've bought a goergous example! The wheels are from 'Porsche Sport Design', a slightly separate part of Porsche that is, as I understand it, an industrial design firm and therefor design everything from watches to office furniture. From what I've been able to gather, they design a new wheel every year and when a customer orders a car it's available to them as an option. They are 2- piece wheels and I read somewhere(?) that the bolts are titanium!
Many of your comments mirror exactly how I felt when I bought my car- your first Porsche is truly a SPECIAL experience and the driving part is the best part of it! I tell people that I bought mine because of how it drives but they don't get that unless I let them do so too.

A little off topic, but I'd like to nominate Dave S. for BEST PICTURE OF CAR!

A friend snapped that shot of the car near the top of Mt. Evans, around 14,000 ft in elevation.

in the UK you get assigned a really boring number for your car, it also has a year signifier.

you can buy custom number plates, but you are really limited because format must be the same, ie 2 letters, then 2 numbers, then three letters

you can also buy older plates that use older formats,

so in the UK (and maybe other euro countries) getting your plate to spell something is quite a big deal!! saw 230MPH on ebay for £22,000!
