Intro (soon to be owner)

Okay... trading in the Audi and stepping up to the plate

I am turning in a 2001 2.7t 6speed (with chip).

Production on the new guy started on 5/22 with estimate of completion on or before 6/7 Yipee!! My dealer thinks better than 75% chance I will see it before the end of June if it is completed the first week. I am sure many of you can sympathize with the roller coaster I am currently on

I have been lurking for a couple of weeks, and I am way past addiction

This is a great site and I look forward to spending time here.

Oh yea.. lemans blue/lemans blue/aluminum. The only option I wanted was the electric sunscreen. I need to dig in on the detailing articles and threads. This baby will only be hand washed

Progress reports to follow

Welcome and good luck! This is by far the best site for info!

m5monster · 29th May 2002, 22:34

Way to go, lemans/lemans/alu I think it's the best color combo.

Wow, thanks for the warm welcome!! I will definitely post pics asap. I was trying to play it cool, but the fever is building and it is all I can do not to call the 800 for status every day

richard: I currently live in brookside, but I have lived in Parsippany, Denville, Randolph, and now my wife has a california itch

I will definitely attend the school, and my brother (who currently drives an amg) will accompany me.
