He moved to the mountains and became a hermit.

Just kidding! About the hermit part...

AFAIK he still has his 928, but priorities have shifted towards other things in life. I'm sure he'll still pop in here occasionally.

He's got a major house project which will consume a lot of time & $$$ for a while...

I'm sure part of that will be a new 'Garage Mahal' at some point - probably still down the list though...

I predict he will be back!

Seems odd that after 11 years and 12,500 posts he doesn't speak again because he's doing a reno.

I believe he was seduced by the dark side, and went over to Reutterwerk.

What's reutterwerks? Looks like rennlist with different colors I see the same names to. Same company with a different name, are they specialized in some way.

Yes. Many ways. No membership fees. No limit on photos. Better moderation.. (for now)

I visited there a while back, there were some similar members user names, but I have too much to do here to keep the mods busy, no time for another site forum.

I wrote him a email asking him to check in and says hello he didn't respond maybe he got jaded by another rennlister or maybe passed away. Anybody live close to him?

His website is a wealth of information and helped me through a lot of my early 928 projects when I got my car.

Hi all, just want you all to know that any rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated!



There is no particular reason for not posting recently -- it's more a huge collection of small reasons: greatly increased work responsibilities over the last couple of years, a multitude of "things to do" on the home, all boiling down to higher priorities. I'll post an update soon. Thanks all, for the positive comments.

If you look below your post at sharkskin's post there is a "my 928 site" if you didn't notice. It took me two days to read it all.
