Since the official dealer started taking order in the summer of 2006 and the waiting time is over 1.5 years for the production of the Koenigegg......you do the math why you dont see the koenigegg on the streets in the USA yet.

all I'm saying is at the time, Koenigsegg couldn't meet EPA and DOT crash testing...

And most of us miss your Birthday, a bit late, but good wishes for a great year from Michigan :) a few flakes never hurt a SLR before... its just the blizzard she wont like :P

10,9,8,7,6,5.... Launch on hold! Houston, We have a problem here!

Well, I finally got around to taking the pics of the SLR and its new license plate. :) I got the idea from the 1953 Marlon Brando movie, "The Wild One". I think it fits the cars personality pretty good..... how about you?

As you can tell by my title for this post, we do have a problem over here in Northeast Ohio. It's a minor thing called.... 12-15 inches of snow! :shock: My driveway has a few up and down slopes and after driving on them and packing the snow down, it gets pretty icy and slippery.

So the SLR and the Carrera GT are stuck in the garage until the drive clears up. :( Damn.... it sure felt good being in her even if it was to back her up so I could take the pics I promised you.

Again, sorry for the delay but it kept snowing on and off again and then it would clear up.... for a few minutes and then start all over again.

I'm enclosing the links for the pics and hope they come out. If they don't, I'll have to beg somebody to post them for me the right way! Magwheel

p.s. Just checked the pics I put on Photobucket and they worked!!! Now I can do pics on my own from now on. See ... you can teach an old dog new tricks!

Nice one Mags!

Too bad the weather isn't helping, global warming my ass! :wink:

NP about the delay it was worth it! I love marlon brando too so I can see why you did it, I guess you become a wild one when you enter that car :mrgreen:

Thanks again!

Rory

dani_d_mas, Maybe you forgot the plate that I do have on the CGT.... "ILL B BAC" :robot: from 'the Terminator! I think that fits the CGT a little better. :roflmao: Magwheel

:good: nice plate magwheel!

So how's the new skyline sounding to ya? :twisted:

Nice pics, Michael. And creative thinking!

:good: very good the pics on the snow! Any chance you could upload bigger versions? (1024 wide or more?) :) pretty please? :D

wow, when you get lucky to see supercar on snow? :shock:

It's amazing to see these pics Mike! :D

Hi TT, Wow... how did I miss this request? :silly: Sorry for the oversight! I'll try and do them later on tonight. The girlfriend is out of town :clap: so the only thing I have to do is check all the car forums and click through the XXX channels :drool: on satellite to exercise my eyes! Beats eating carrots!!! :roflmao: Mags

Hey guys, here are the Hi-Res pics of my SLR in the snow you asked for. :D Mags

Very nice- but I can't imagine living with all that snow and having all that awesome iron stuck in the garage for so many months of the year ;)

Should have posted thumbs but ok :P

Nice pics Micheal! Just mindblowing!

Love the numberplate!

I would like the 3rd or 5th pic in the photo of the month contest! :D

great one Michael! Thanks :D

Whoops..... :silly: I thought something was wrong when I used Photobucket this time. Last time in their linking process, they asked me if I wanted to use thumbnails. I couldn't find the same area this time so I posted it the wrong way by accident. I apologize! TopGearNL said he can help me out by slapping some sense into me! :slap: If he does it with the thumbnails, I think I can eliminate the larger pics.

Is there a photo service that is easier to use than Photobucket?

Well...... I guess that just goes to show that you don't have to have brains :crazyeyes: to own a 'Supercar'!!! The Village Idiot, Magwheel

Beautiful Supercar! the temp seems very cold .. :)

HOORAY!!!!

You've given me the motivation to go to work tomorrow morning...er....in 8 hours :oops:

Some fantastic pics there. And a nice house too! 8)

Thanks for the high-res :!:

LOL at the slapping, PM sent Micheal 8)

Rory

I would prostitute myself for a ride in an SLR...

^^ You can sell yourself here

http://www.jabbasworld.net/viewforum.php?f=210

Really nice pics, once again. I could read this kind of thread 24/7. Every time I come here(and that is quite often). I check if this thread has been updated.

You are almost too good to us:)
Thanks.

And sell my soul

LOL :lol:

How about for a 997GT3 RS? :drool: I'm looking at an Orange one right now and wanted to get some opinions from the 'Jabba Gang'! (That is other than I'm out of my friggin mind!) :crazyeyes: Can you all give me some pros and cons (way above sticker is an obvious one)! How about Orange versus a Green one? And..... do you think I'd get my 'rocks off' :wanker: in the RS more than I did in the Turbo? The Turbo was fast as hell but it was a little too sedate (body effects and color wise) for me. As Joe Cocker would say..... "I get by with a little help from my friends!" Help me..... please! Mags :roflmao:

My friend Ken has said that his 997 GT3 RS is the only GT3 he'd get, as he prefers the wider rear end... it is more muscular.

my personal opinion? The green would fit in the same soul as the Hulk you parted ways with.

How is your epxerience in harsh track oreinted street cars? Is it the look and feel of the GT3 that gets your blood pumping? In the US, the RS ought to hold it's value quite well for a while, so I don't think that will be an issue... where the Turbo, and normal GT3 will drop off more quickly.

The US speced car has more comfortable seats, and A/C as standard equipment, and not the intrusive roll cage (full cage) as the european counterpart. I would fully expect the GT3 to ride about the same quality as a Z06, perhaps a little harsher.

In any case, for myself, I would love one .... [/selfishthoughts] :wink:

:shock: GT3RS is the most badass 911 ever 8) its HARDCORE!
are you up for the challenge of an RS Porsche? :mrgreen:
it no shopping car like the Turbo\SLR.. I think you'll get your 'rocks off' a lot more then in the Turbo.. 8)

(if you get it, get it in ORANGE :mrgreen: )

keep us updated :D and boy has your garage changed since the 1st page :lol: :wink:
when the sun will come out and you have the time a few new 'group' pictures would be awesome 8)

James, As Sam Kinison :wanker: used to say, Oh... Oh..... Oh..... thanks a lot!!! Go ahead... drive me to the 'poorhouse!' :wall: Some friend you are! Waddya want me to do... get a 3rd job at McDonalds? :niet: Mags :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

work the drive through window, and keep an eye on the the exotics :P

Mags, Imma live my life vicariously through you from now on :wink: .

GT3 RS would be an AWESOME car to drive, and from what nth said it sounds like it would be fairly civilized on the street (as I really dont care about ride quality). Cant give you a take on it from personal experience as I havent even seen one with my own two eyes. My vote, go for it! You've got your "luxury" supercar, now its time for your kick in the nuts adrenaline junky track ready Porsche! My vote for color, orange and black, love at first sight :love:

BTW, I might have to prostitue myself for a plane ticket to Ohio to come make love to ur cars :lol: :wink:

ViperASR and all the rest of you who have been such good friends and supportive of my 'questionable sanity' :silly: :bad-words: :crazyeyes: :prr: :drool: :shock: :wall: I DID IT!!! Closed the deal an hour ago on the Orange GT3 RS from that Boston Porsche dealership! Like always, I've been eating my guts out trying to figure out what to do. :argue: Yes.... No..... Yes.... No..... Yes...... No..... !!!

The papers will be here Tuesday and they'll get them back Wednesday and hopefully the car will be here the following week sometime UNLESS...... somebody goes in there and offers them more 'stupid money' than I did! :snipersmile: BUT.... Well, we (the Owner's son and I) made the deal over the phone, shook hands virtually and I'm sending him a deposit next week! I would think that's a 'solid' binding contract! :drool:

Please don't ask me what I paid! I really don't need any more people than my family, my girlfriend and the rest of her family trying to convince me I'm a complete 'asshole'!!! :puke:

Lemme see..... how can I justify this transaction. How about a Top 10 list: 1) I don't have an Orange car 2) I'm 59 and not sure how much time is left 3) I have an empty space in the garage 4) I like aggravating my girlfriend 5) My family hates me 6) I don't have a mistress on the side 7) 2 Porsches is not enough for anybody 8) I sold my 997 Turbo to get the SLR and now I'm totally depressed 9) I'm a deprived child..... (yeah right!) 10) I really am a complete asshole !!! :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: Sorry.... gotta go and take my medicine! Mags

:shock:

And now I can't wait for some pics :D

Orange is a great color, and an hardcore car in your collection would fit pretty well!

Do you have any race track nearby?

Oh, and what about the plate? :P

Congrats! You are going to get my most desired Porsche!! :shock: :D

Sh*t Micheal Im speechless..

You have a nice idea for the numberplate of your latest car too?

BTW you got it in the best colour-combo possible!

Rory

Big Congrats!

You can't go wrong with buying a GT3. But it should definitely see some track time while it's in your ownership, as that would abviously be the best and ultimate way to fully experience this car.

guess its time to start prostituting myself :lol:

A huge congrats on the purchase, I think everyone here on JW agrees with me in that there is no better way to spend that amount of "stupid money".

I'm not questioning shit now that youve bought a GT3RS :prr: :wink:

I cannot agree more, comming from a family with 2 Porsches :lol:

I cannot wait to see pictures of this beast! Again, congrats on the purchase.

Great collection. The property you are photographing the cars on is also quite pretty. Your photos are great.

If you have not been there yet, I would suggest you visit wreckedexotics.com as I do not want to see any of your cars show up there.

As you continue to drive these great cars I would love to hear from you, your impressions. Which is your favorite. Which is your least favorite. Which are you the most comfortable driving fast, which one you are not.

As they age I would also enjoy hearing about maintainence. Which is the most reliable, most expensive to maintain. Which car causes you the most trouble due to lack of ground clearance.

Thanks for posting your cars here, it is a treat to see them all.

TT and TopGearNL (sorry for leaving you out!), You know I can't reveal the plate until I get the title and apply for the plate otherwise..... some unscrupulous person :roll: could take my idea and get the plate before I do!

But..... when I get it, if it doesn't meet with the 'majority' approval of JabbasWorld :fuck:, I always have 'FUZY NVL' (the liquor drink) which was on the Pearl Orange Gallardo that I felt was a fantastic plate. It's still mine for 3 or 4 more months on reserve! I was leaving a restaurant one night and a 'older couple', hmmmm, I guess my age, were laughing :roflmao: their asses off after reading the plate. That's what I love to see, people laughing with me.... instead of at me! Take care TT. I'll have some more news soon on my Tangerine! Mags :lol:

Congrats man!!! That is my favorite car at the moment and you chose my favorite color combo of all time, orange and black! I can't wait to see some pics and to hear how you like it. :D

NP. I understand completely, Im sure the waiting will be worth it though! :D

hehe

from Zero to GT3RS in 10 reasons. Nice.

Great choice Mags, the new RS should be so much fun, delivering the kicks also in more moderate speeds, the Turbo shines in the higher speeds and even then it is more the machine that shines than the driver.

997RS should be also more useable than the 996RS, European version being little more hardcore, seats and so on.

I suppose this one will be for keeps until new GT2 comes along, or prancing horse with F430CS :) Enjoy the new car, I hope the weather will allow it soon.

8) 8) 8) Congrats man 8)
I'm sure you'll be more then happy with it 8)
like pretty much everyone said.. can't wait for the pics 8)

wow incredible choice, cant wait to see it! all the rest that's already been said by other guys applies to me too, except for the prostitution part :)

insane, Yep.... the snow is 98-99% gone, :clap: that is until this coming weekend! We may get a slight sprinkle again but it looks pretty good from now on.

I even had the SLR out last night and I was foaming at the mouth with excitement! :drool: BTW.... my girlfriend's bother met us up at the restaurant we go to and he started talking about the empty garage space at the house I own next door to the main house. He started agitating me :prr: about how I should be getting something new to fill the void up there. Well, while he was talking and making suggestions, I had this 'shit eating' grin on my face and the next thing you know, he says...... "I knew it, I just knew it! You got something didn't you!"

My girlfriend starts giving me :ninja: dagger looks.... and then I'm reminded for sure why I will never get married again! :fuck:

Anyhow, not being a liar, I toid my GFs brother what I bought..... probably coulda fried eggs on my GF's head! :roflmao:

Well.... we get home and I show her pics of the Orange RS! Surprisingly, she likes the car and the Orange color the best of all 4 color choices. She even said it looked real sharp!

And the saga continues..... the Mags..... over and out! :scatter:

LOL good to hear the snow has gone Micheal and even better that your GF likes the car! :D

I bet she said it looked just like an orange, thats what my mum said :lol:
