Very jealous!
Wanted to do this before selling the S, but split up with the other half, and doing it on my own seemed rubbish! S now up for sale, lets see some more pics

Do it, Do it now! Make sure you have fresh brake pads on though. I cooked my rears quite badly and have just driven 1000 miles with them constantly generating a high pitched noise, but otherwise operating fine.
I managed to get through a set of pads at the Easter Meet, 20 laps

Mine were 50% worn before I started. It was trying to beat a 993 Turbo that did it I reckon. I was keeping up (and maybe slightly quicker) in the corners, but disappeared on the straights.
to know that route!
