A cool drive !
A miracle happened last weekend as i saw a white MP4-12C ... yes, over here in Belgium, offcourse not on Belgian plates as that would cost the owner at least 10,000 euro a day .... 
.
My testdrive in the GT3 RS has been delayed till next month and about the Panigale ... :-( ....
Bim: "Hey Jackie! When can i finally try your Panigale ?"
J: "Oh ! Monday no problem !"
Bim: " Wow !! Great, i think i'll have a go in the Ardennes then ... "
J: " You'll have to, only place where you can fly is Spa-Francorchamps!"
Bim: "Why is that ?"
J: " No lights, racing slicks and power-upgrade .. "
Bim:" ...... errrrr ......... no thanks mate, i'll pass "
"It would be bloody stupid to go out on the track with so little experience now ... my aim was just to have a go at public roads and not having to push it all the way all the time. I know a bike like this can be more appreciated on a track but one really needs a lot of skill ... and if i crash it on a track i'll have to pay the full monty :-( ... .
Then there still is 2014 and 2015 and so on ...
So i'll rest my case and go back to my winter-sleep in the dog house ... .

but don't get too focused on what's behind you, in SoCal cool stuff
can be all around you... ...
Super cool effect! How did you do that???
Let me try to answer your question... Porsche? Best, Nicolas
good guess, and 50% correct...
the mirror was attached to this - What a glorious way to die, no? ;-) But the object IN the mirror was... ...
Sometimes I prefer being a mosquito than a vampire.
Ok, I will have less blood, but a ride on a Porsche as a final trip is worth the reduced blood pleasure, for a bigger blood pressure. ...
The object in the mirror was...
Hi Thomas, The one in the mirror was a McLaren MP4! A nice car that I love more than you do (but I didn't drive it). By the way, how your Porsche can have a white front and grey back? Best Dje
For a moment, I thought you'd answer that...
It was you, in the mirror... All the best, my friend. Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2013-06-11 23:38:39 ...
Bingo! Good eyes, Dje.
The WanderingPurist and Unotaz needed a break from real life (or as Unotaz put it, "it was good to go out and stretch our legs, get a little exercise...") and I got to tag along! ;-) So this is what one saw in the mirror... As with any decent road course ...

But there is no compromise....
on the MP4-12C suspension! With the lack of anti-roll bar, the car can be as comfortable as an E-Class or as rock hard as your GT3RS, with a simple flick of a switch. As for storage...well, I'm still waiting for someone to invent storage increase with a f...
I've heard...
Mr. Dennis has his team working on that "switch..." ;-) Unotaz, my friend, there is ALWAYS compromise...life is about compromises...for example, just because your wife is beautiful, AND smart, AND has a great personality...there are STILL compromises... :...
My wife...
wanted me to thank you for those nice comments! =D With the 991 GT3 not offering a manual transmission, I really think the 997 GT3 variants are the last of the old school 911s.... I'm also sure this is why the GT3RS 3.8 and 4.0 prices have been steadily c...
Dealers are saying Porsche has CONFIRMED, UNEQUIVOCABLY, that even the 991 GT3RS
won't offer a three pedal MT, so it looks like truly the end of an era...but wait, the Carrera still offers a 7 speed option?!? Ah, the wild and wonderful world of marketing and product positioning... So is the GT3 (and RS) the PUREST expression of the Po...
Highway 33? . . .
. . . I'm planning on a road trip to Taft sometime soon, Thomas. Lunch at Jo's Café, suds at Art's Corner, then back . . .
good eyes! yes, parts of 33 ...
for the "public" stretches... What a great time of year for road trips! Have fun...
Did someone get a new toy?
Wow, fantastic to see the MP4-12C and the GT3RS. Is the Porsche spec'd with the plexiglass rear window for weight savings or that only on overseas versions? Wish I could have joined you guys. Regards, ED-209
US 997.2 GT3RS did not come with plexiglass windows, that was ROTW only
unfortunately. Hope you can join us for the next "stretching of the legs" Cheers, TM
