Default Now that I'm a member I can finally post a photo of my new car‏

Hi - I'm a new member to the forum (been lurking for awhile) and have already sucked up a lot of information from reading the various threads. I've had some Porsches in the past. A 67 coupe in the mid 80's and then 80 and 87 Targas in the mid to late 90's. Always wanted a 993 and recent events have allowed me to finally buy one back in July which I found here in the classifieds.

A few details:
1996 Carrera 2 Tip with about 45K miles when I purchased it. Navy interior with 12-way power driver and passenger seats. It came with the MY02 wheels, Fister Stage III, and aluminum gauge trim.

Possible Future Modifications (from reading some threads here):
Carnewal FPB - which recently arrived
Probably the Spoiler and maybe the Wiper mods (though this last one looks like a bit of a pain)
Maybe swap out the CDR-210 (not happy with radio reception) for a Continental CD unit (CDD7418UB-OR)
And the big ticket item: Lowering to ROW specs. After chatting with Gert, I'm thinking M033 with either Koni FSD or Bilstein B8's.

A friend who's a fashion photographer wanted to experiment shooting my car. For the final shoot, he mentioned that he might bring some scantly clad girls along!

Cheer's to the Rennlist community.

Thought I'd bump myself due to the week it took to get this thread approved for posting.

Very nice picture of your 993. The silver really accents the lines of the 911 perfectly. Congrats and enjoy.

Thanks everyone.

PRSWILL - Yes it was a former R-Lister's car. It was good timing. It didn't take me long to decide I wanted it!

Serval - We're a good match. I like the front valance on your car. Is that original to your car or what model is that from?
