Default Aug 13th: Bodie Smith Cancer Benefit

928 wins First Place at the Bodie Smith Cancer Benefit Car, Truck and Bike Show. Those guys from House of Hotrods really did a good job!

Look who was in my tent at the show, it's Sue Martin from Fast & Loud (Gas Monkey)

Why are my pics turned sideways?

Just returned from the 928 NorCal Paint Correction and Detailing Session. I did 8 cars and a neighbors Pick-up Truck over the 3-day weekend. The hospitality was exceptional. Many thanks to Mark Woudsma and Jeff Mohler. I hope to do more Detailing Sessions in the future, maybe even Canada!

My 2017 Car Show Season starts next Saturday, March 4. I've registered to show my 928 through May 27. Hope to learn how to load properly positioned pics this year.

Default Had a Champagne moment today

Ordered the new Cup Holder from Paul Champagne today. It's his extended height center armrest with an added cup holder. Went back to his website an ordered his fancy shifter that he introduced last month. Went back a third time an ordered the leather boot that goes with the fancy shifter so my automatic will look like a manual with a custom shift **** and an awesome armrest! Last month I got a brushed aluminum RTIC tumbler with the Porsche Crest and 928 S4 logo that will tie it all together!

Can a car change your life? This one changed mine!

Seven Year's Later: A Facebook Memory popped up from May 18, 2011, that was the day I bought this car. It had 72,000 miles on the odometer. Yesterday I turned 180,000 miles! I stopped posting pics because they all appeared sideways and huge but my appreciation for my 928 has never changed.

Show It: My 928 is in a lot of Car Shows. In 2012, it won Best of Show at a PCA Concours d' Elegance in Houston, TX. That was pretty special because I never won BOS with my '79 911 SC. The turning point was 2016 when it won First Place or Class Winner in 17 car shows, including The Peoples Choice at Porsche Palooka in Eureka Springs, AK. The car went on to win 8 more awards in 2017.

Drive It: With 108,000 miles in 7 years, you could say I drive my 928 a lot. I've been on six Third Coast outings, four Boxstoberfest, Porsche Palloza and Vero Beach, FL. It just gets better with age.

Started My Own Business: I was on my way to Pebble Beach with Roger Tyson, Sean Ratts and Jim Mayzurk to show Roger's 1988 928 S4 Club Sport SE at Carmel By The Sea Concours d' Elegance. It was on this trio that OCD'tailers was born. Today I'm a Flight Shield Authorized Service Center where I perform Paint Correction, Detailing, Show Prep and Ceramic Coatings for literally hundreds of clientele, many of whom have won their own Concours.

Special Thanks: I would like to thank Chuck Schreiber for finding my 928 and a special thanks to Roger Tyson and Sean Ratts for maintaining the vehicle and encouraging me to follow my passion.

Happy Anniversary!

Fantastic thread Andy. Very heart warming to see how close knit the 928 community is, especially the TX guys.

Default 9 years later

A Facebook memory popped up today. It’s been 9 years and 130,000 (S)miles since I bought this 928. What a great trip it’s been... and I’m still smiling. This has been a great car. I’m just a few miles short of 200,000. Sean Ratts has been my Mechanic since Day I. Many thanks to Roger Tyson and the 928 community

Default Turbocharger it?

Aaron Bunch, owner of ATS, just built a remote mount Turbocharger for his wife’s 928 S4. 454 Hp at the tires and 535 at the flywheel

My 928 has 207,000 miles and I want one!
