Congrats fella

Is it the top of bottom motor on the transport?

If it's a GT3RS you have the double on my watch and car grail

Regardless what it is I know it's going to be special

Thanks guys--one more day of agony for me.

I appreciate the kind words and I cannot wait for the transport driver to call to say we are 2 hours away tomorrow

As to color, well it's the first non-black car I've owned. Ever.

As to row on carrier, bottom.

As to racing Tom, ain't going to happen. He would beat me on his worse day with one hand tied behind his back while checking TRF on the track :-)

Some exceptional guesses...but I would expect nothing less from this smart group. However, there may be a few other guesses that might come out as a wild card...

I feel pretty honored to know in advance.

But it's a secret I'll never share.

It was fun to be able to share in the excitement.

I have trouble keeping up with Paul's exotic car collection. I fall in love with his choice of automobile, and then he gets an even better one. I am still not over the last Porsche pictures; and that was several cars ago. This gentleman is a world class collector of beautiful things for men. I have not even mentioned his RM collection. Texex91, you are one of a kind and I look forward to every unveil. A heartfelt congratulations!

Looking forward to this incoming! I am sure you are feeling tortured but tomorrow is getting close. Huge congrats Paul! Maybe a dashcam video for us when you take her for a spin?

Thank you, but, I wish I had a 'collection' of cars (and RM's), but they come and go. I've been waiting to find this one for a while--all the stars aligned
