Hi, Deedwest, I am new owner of a 2008 Roadster. I've started a google spreadsheet to keep track of all original roadsters I can find online as part of my search process. It looks like you have done something similar. Would love to connect with you to see if I can help contribute in some way. Thanks

Thanks. DeedWest is starting to give me a "run for my money" in getting his own list in shape and we have an informal competition going to see who can recognize random roadsters faster in photos that get posted online.
I think I have a lot more photos stored up of Roadsters, but he has more meticulous recordkeeping on interior color options.
We both have various online tricks we use to try to track things down, so one of us may do better than the other depending.
DeedWest also has the advantage of having owned multiple Roadsters, and currently owns 2 so he gets to spend time chatting with the service guys sometimes.
Anyone that wants to send me any Roadster info they have collected, please PM me and let me know. I love to add to my list. So far, DeedWest and I haven't merged our lists together. We each are doing our own things in parallel.
It's been a long road folk, so forgive me for the celebration campaign. Lost out on 6 Roadsters bids. Hope you enjoy the video. 996 is now home. #996
Congrats! Looks like you scored a very nice example.
Obsidian black is one of my favorites. You don't have to keep cleaning it the way you do with jet black. It still looks nice even when a bit dusty.

I thought it was super-cool when #559 started out in SF bay area sporting a black & orange SF Giants license plate frame!
It should be the "pace car" for their World Series parades.

Can I post my own Orphan? The kids are growing up and want to take friends along with them. We could use a 6-seater. So I have placed an order for a Plaid X. However, my wife doesn't want to give up her S100D. She hates the refresh landscape screen and yoke (TBH so do I, but I think the Plaid performance will help me get over it). Sadly, the Roadster will have to make way for it. Posted in the For Sale section here:

Late-2010 Roadster 2.5 - Twilight Blue - Original Owner
Hi Everyone, As the family is growing up, I have ordered a Model X Plaid. Unfortunately, that means I need to make space in the garage. So it is with a heavy heart that I am listing my Roadster for sale. I am the original owner. I bought it new in November, 2010. Car is located in Tulsa...

Strider get a lift bruh. She's pretty. Agree with your wife that yoke steering wheel has to go why I didn't get a Plaid, and I like my sunroof in my S too.Can I post my own Orphan?

I definitely appreciate the support! Fall has finally come here and I do enjoy driving topless. I'm not in a hurry to sell (Plaid X not scheduled until April) but once the X does come, I just don't think it will be driven very much. I like the idea that it would go to someone that would drive it regularly, take it to car shows, etc.
