I woke up this morning pissed that I didn’t take my camera with me yesterday to the shop. On my way in to work I stopped by to see if anyone was in early (they were not – it was pretty early), but I knew my baby was around back so I headed to the rear. Lined up at the end of a row, my baby was just sitting there, jacked up in the rear, covered in snow. Had it not been for a Panorama article about the C4 months back with images of the vehicles covered in snow I might have been a little freaked. With the older Porsche’s (my only frame of reference is my now gone 1966 912) snow, ice, SALT were killers. Anyway, I drive my new baby in all weather (as she should be driven) so a little snow won’t hurt. And she’s getting detailed, so all is fine.

I’m going to try and head back over with my camera and pop some shots of my engine in its current state. If I get over there, check back over the weekend for new pix. BTW, I have more detailed images of my missing engine over in the photography section.

UPDATE
Got back over during lunch. Added a couple images to the rotation up top (just hit refresh a couple times). Going to add the rest of the images over in the photography section now.

Well, lets recap the things I found out today: my pistons are still not back from California, my baby is without an engine and out in the snow behind the shop because there’s “no room” inside, and there is still a solid week left to put her back together once the final parts get it. On a more positive note: once the parts get back there’s a solid week to get things put back together, she’ll be “detailed to the max” by Stephen’s guy, and I actually got the see my engine naked on the stand. Did I take a picture? No (but I did go back and grab a few). Will there be a bunch of pictures to show the work? Hope so – but mostly I just want her back. Also, 12 months / 12,000 miles on my new engine which is a nice thing.

I’ve put back up some of the images I like of her in the main window up top. For those of you that come back often, I have a random image set to rotate though. Hit shift refresh if you don’t believe me. I’ve posted 8 images into the rotation.

If my new vanity plates get in before she’s done (god help me if the plates get in before she’s done) I’ll toss them up there as a static image for a while.
