So Nice!

We all come up against the drive or preserve question. Great to see a drive AND preserve option. Someday maybe I'll dream to have a GB motor. Right now I only dream of a set of his fuel lines, though.

Nice'n glossy! But what's the story with the mis-matched rear wheel?
The stock wheels were off to install new tires and it was moving around on a set of "rollers".

What a car! Randy will not be disappointed, looks sounds, and I am sure drives great! So glad to see it in person.

Beauty & the beast. The Marquee continues to improve especially with 928 owners who maintain and enhance the overall drivability of our sharks.

Best way to keep those great GT's on the road.

You'll have a great car for many more years.

You took the right decision.

Randy: I'm curious if you were/are burning any oil? No Provent, so I assume it is minimal. And you left the cams alone, hmmm.

Arrgh! Now I have to come up with a plan to have Greg do a bunch of work on my car just to keep up with you guys... And my car only has about 145K on it and doesn't look close to as as good as Randy's - so I also need a full on detail - and maybe some real paint work too... It's tough to keep up around here.

My car with 190k kms has a small syncro issue with 3rd gear and engine has started to use oil
Getting Greg to work on it may be a chance in a lifetime and a great road trip

Hello Everyone!

I'm Nic Shangle with Polished Detail. We did the correction and coating on Randy's 928. I apologize for the delay in getting the pics posted to Rennlist. My fiance went into labor last Friday and I have been going crazy being a new daddy!

Here is the link to the thread I posted:

I was going to say there's no excuse for the delay, but producing a new human being is a good excuse! Congratulations to you and mom!

Great work on the car - and the baby!
