Anyone up for a VERY Long 997 Turbo Test Drive????
 
Anybody from SoCal want 10 hours behind the week of a 997 Turbo? …Five hours of which is 85 mph speed limit :D I will pay the one-way ticket to Dallas.

I'm picking up the car in Dallas Monday morning and driving straight through to LA. I need to be back for a Wed meeting and need the car here for the Auto Club Speedway event on the 2nd. No haulers will commit to the Friday delivery, so I'm going to make the schlep.

If a fellow Pelican has nothing else to do (and can stay sober), I'd love to have the help.

I wish I had the extra time and money. I'd meet you in Dallas and fly myself home. Sounds like a blast.

I think we have a deal Sidney! I can make it from Phoenix to Ventura…With just a few casino stops on the way home.

These are the times I wish I wouldn't have a full time job ... I love road trips.

So, what did you buy? Looks like you stretched into the 997 - nice! Pics!!!

Work is nuts for the next few weeks...
else, I'd be yer Huckleberry.

That damn'd Sid is all over it, tho. Good on him....and Craig, too.

At least play one ( or 2 :cool: ) Stevie Ray tune a few hours east of old El Paso for me.

Rock on.....

What are the exact dates? I have 500,000 FF miles burning a hole.

porsche4life 04-22-2015 10:27 PM

Flights are booked or being booked. Should be a whirlwind trip. Very nice car he's picked too!

Wow, what's not to like, red line someone else's twin turbo for a few hours at a time?:D

porsche4life 04-22-2015 10:53 PM

Red line it? In second? Any faster than that and you boys better have bail money ready!

Scuba Steve 04-23-2015 02:46 AM

Ok next time someone in the Charleston area do this! :D

onewhippedpuppy 04-23-2015 03:01 AM

Hey! You can't just buy a car and not tell us about it!

Sid, you're a lucky SOB, because that sounds like fun.

Seahawk 04-23-2015 03:06 AM

Please take the two lanes highways to Rosewell, Socorro then into Show Low. Just don't speed throught the towns.

After Phoenix hit the interstate.

What a great trip. Enjoy.

Good thing we all know, like, and trust Sid. I have this stuck in my head
