    Maybe I'll get lucky on this attempt to get background scoop on the 3rd Dino I've come across.

    I see the Register has been updated with all the gaps filled in and now the ownership history is complete and a lot more impressive. Any idea who made it `complete'?

    BTW, once I take possession, I assume I'm the one to update the Register, correct?

    It will be in my garage after spending a couple more weeks in southern California getting some mechanical and cosmetic attention and then being transported to northern California.

    Waiting will seem like an eternity just the way it felt after factory ordering my 2008 Cayman S and then waiting for it to swim across the Atlantic to the west coast.

    I'm concerned that once it finds it's home in my garage, I may not be able to go to work anymore...I'd be camping out in the garage taking in its beauty!

    Probably won't see the car for another 2-3wks while it's in southern Calif. getting its radiator re-cored, engine tuned up (hasn't been driven much in last 1-2yrs), clutch adjusted and some cosmetics done. Then I'll have it transported to my home when I'll be able to check for #'s. I'll ask the shop to check for them in the meantime, but no guarantee they'll consider it a priority.
