Went in Porsche 997 Carrera S last night

Mate's misses bought him a brand new 911 last month for his birthday! Lucky git. She quizzed another friend who already has a 997 about preferred specs etc.
It's black, full spec with sports exhaust, sports suspension, aero/chrono pack, 19" alloys.
Here it is:

Wish I took one of the back end but I neeeeeded to get in!
Car is tiptronic which I was unsure about but when he demonstrated that it holds onto gears at any revs like a manual I thought, "ok"!
Cool

If so the porsche would have the pimp pack fitted - the wheels would be at least 22", chromed and the windows tinted 99% and a retractable carbon backed 'snorting' mirror

My birthday next week.

Anything less than a 997 S and I'll be very disappointed...

Correct-ish.....

It was suppose to be spent on something else but due to tragic circumstances last year, which I won't go into, the wife did all the ground work and spec'd it up with the help of a close friend.
So it was a total surprise.
