Default Took the plunge - Flying to get her in t-minus 12 hours

Been a long time stalker on this forum but finally decided to ditch my german grocery getter for something more fun, more powerful, and more reliable. Purchased a MRM 2010 down in Arizona and i'm going to get her tomorrow morning and then road trip her home 1400 miles. Nice little bonding time.

I'll post pics up of the trip as soon as it starts.

But as it's bad form to post a purchase thread without pics, for now this is what she'll be joining in the garage....



This one is waiting to undergo the knife for a full RUF R-Turbo conversion this summer. After that's done then it's onto the F!

Congrats. The 2010 is a good buy with the LSD. I too bought mine out of state and drove +1500 miles from CA to Chicago.

If you can work up a deal with the dealer, see if you can have them or a local shop apply the clear bra before the road trip. Best time to take advantage of having a clear bra is now. And see if you can have satellite radio activated. Makes the drive even more worthwhile. Have a safe trip.

Did you buy your MRM ISF from the Luxor group? I only ask because I am down here in AZ right now and about 5 minutes away from them.
