just quickly used the first free image editing tool I could find to block out the plate #.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I am picking up my first Porsche tomorrow! It is a 2004 911 anniversary edition. I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve! It has been a dream since I had the poster of a 911 SC on the wall as a kid.
The board has been really helpful with information - especially the 996 buyers guide. So thanks to everyone. I hope to become an active participant soon! Hopefully pics in the next couple of days!
Chris
if you find yourself staring at it.... with a stupid grin on your face.... late at night... in your slippers... its normal... that's what I heard anyway.
repeated trips to the garage for several weeks too.... I hear, but never foundling (anymore... right?)
Here is a great youtube vid to help explain this to your "old friends"

PS you wont be needing them anymore
post pix!
Congrats! It's been 2 years since I got my first 911 and I still find myself going into the garage to take a peek at the car.
Post pictures when you get it.
Chris - Congrats on the pending delivery. Don't forget to post some pics of your car soon. If you don't, that ***-hole Tim will be all over you for not posting 'em.
Oh wait.... I'm Tim.... uhmm.... er..... scratch the A/H part.
Arrggh. Unfortunately due to work I wasn't able to pick up the car today. Nonetheless here is a pic from the original owner. It will be Saturday for sure!
Sorry about the "Pixelmator" text and grey splotch in the image ... just quickly used the first free image editing tool I could find to block out the plate #.
Thanks! I can't wait to have it in the garage!
I believe that these are 18" Carrera wheels - the 40th Anniversary edition had them polished.
Sadly I can't remove the front plate here in Ontario, Canada.
Rat, the car is gorgeous - agree with Irocman's suggestion that you remove the front plate and put in some bumper plugs. Car's too pretty to ruin the lines. Enjoy it!!
someone needs to "invent" a new front licence mount to get the lines back... I will work on it this winter. With any luck we can help folks out (like me ) who hats the front plate
NICE CAR!
Welcome abord
Ed
Move to Pennsylvania - no front plate required. No new cars destined for PA dealers come through with any front brackets! That alone makes it worth living here. Now, if it weren't for those damn winters ....
Well I suppose winter isnt so bad if at least there is promise of summer...(sort of "light at the end of the tunnel") here in Rainville (seattle) it just rains 300 days of the year and goes from 40 in the winter to 65 in the summer..with occational "random spikes" in each dirrection just so we know what we are missing! LOL
But cool they let you run w/o plates!!
any other states?
E
Never been to Seattle, but the description of your weather is awful. Why does everyone who lives there love it so much? Maybe it's the no front plate law!
Just got home with the new car! WOW - is about the only word I can come up with!
The car is in great condition and looks and runs beautifully. After the 2 hour ride home my wife was fairly certain she wouldn't be driving it! The road and engine noise along with the firm suspension were a bit much for her after two hours. (she normally drives a lexus rx
)
Sorry it is a bit too dark to get pics but I will in the morning.
Thanks for all the comments and well wishes! The car was bought and serviced at Beverly Hills Porsche and imported to Canada early in 2008. So I had the price benefit of a US car without the importing paperwork (plus I needed a bit of financing help since it was a bit beyond my budget!) The car is number 25 of 1963 of the 2004 Anniversary Edition.
Looking forward to participating more actively on the board! Oh yeah - I think I am going to sleep in the garage tonight!!!
Chris
Yeah the giggling when you happen to find yourself in the garage at night to take the trash out or something, does not go away, I can confirm. You might even start talking to it, telling it things that your wife doesn't even know. Welcome and have fun!
No... You might be IN the garage, but you wont be sleeping... more likely looking at the car from every angle and wondering "can I touch her there?" (well so I have heard)
She is ALL YOURS big fella, and NO ONE is watching ...
