^Nice pics. Most of my info is my intro for all to see. I'm 56 retired at 48 when the company I worked for relocated my facility to Texas = could have relocated but planed on retiring early so it worked out for me. Married to a great woman with two cats that are fun beyond belief and living a nice life with a lot of personal business to tend to. Will try to get decent pic up but I'm always dirty/working when wife takes a pic it seems lol.

Cool thread topic Atrox - I was curious to know more about the ppl on here.

As for me, I'm just a millennial with an addiction to speed, surfing, snowboarding, mtn. biking, golf, hiking, cars who's working as an engineer to support these habits.

Some pics:

Surfing in Baja/Maine




Snowboarding


DH Mtn, biking

I'm closing in on 40, like to keep active and do things my self on the car and around the house. Machinist by trade, Industrial Engineer via Oklahoma State (hat), work in IT supporting Forecasting Solutions in SAP for a local Aerospace Firm. Wife and foster kiddos, they are back with their birth parents now, miss'em. Oh, and I'm allergic to cats, sorry to disrupt the trend.

Could probably find a similar post in one of the other threads, but here goes:

Been into 911s since '80, when I was 18. Had a couple of Porsche shops along the way. Inactive lawyer (never practiced), just own a couple of businesses--call center and a vending company. (Ready to pack them both in. Zero interest in doing business in CA anymore.)

Lots of 911s have passed through my hands. Most have been modified for track duty. Raced stuff other than 911s, since club racing didn't get started until the early '90s. And I've been broke along the way, so that puts racing on hold.

Have a nice fleet currently, of which the '03 Turbo that RAC did a Ruf conversion on two owners back is the only one that runs and is street registered. Will get the others back together when, hopefully, I'm back just fiddling around on projects to keep me busy. My cousin has a 910 Bergspyder almost completed; always fun to birth another car from scratch, and I get to take it out for its shakedown laps.

Travel a lot with my wife. 40 years of golf, and skiing/boarding for a long time, too. Golf more so now, as I've definitely feel more bored out on track than years/decades past.

Everyone's welcome if your travels bring you to the Bay Area.

No animals or children. Just lots of 911s. And parts. Two small warehouses full.

32, married, no kids, 1 bulldog, from the other side of the world (New Zealand), work in Property.

Looking into building a more specific track day 996tt at present, waiting on the right donor.

Don't post much on the 966tt forum but enjoy reading the humor.

Late 20's, currently self employed, working in Enterprise Healthcare IT solutions as well as misc small business IT solutions. I mountain bike when I can, backpack, world travel, and Privacy/security seem to be my hobbies. The cat is around here somewhere too..

First Porsche, but never the last. "There is no substitute."

Had my share of German autos before this (~8). I'm somewhat of a gear head.

Interesting to see everyone's background!

I'm in my late 20's, accounting professional, private pilot. Coming up on my 2 year of my first Porsche, but have been involved with rx7's since I was 16 and don't think I will let either ever go!

Hi all. 36. 4 kids aged 5, 4, 2 and 1! Married to my elementary school sweetheart who let me start my Porsche collection last year. I'm a neurologist, Air Force vet, in solo practice and my wife manages my office. These things alone keep me busy so my turbo unfortunately sits in the garage a lot. We live just east of Atlanta.

I work as a Mechanic/Technician for P3 Autokrafte in Dayton, Ohio. I also work in Pro Racing with Doran Racing in Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge with Nissan 370z doing various events from time to time. I also work extremely extremely part time for Forgeline Motorsports in the self proclaimed special projects division. So needless to say I keep myself busy throughout the year and surround myself almost exclusively with gear-heads including my wife.

I have owned various Porsche cars and currently have a 944S2 Cabriolet with a L33 Small Block and my 2001 996TT.

Pictures of the wife and I at a friends wedding.


Picture from the Rolex 24 Hour this year in Daytona.


This popped up on my feed on Time hop from 3 years ago today when I lost my 924S.
