Default Thank You 911 Forum

Hello,

I'm a new Porsche owner and Rennlist member. I purchased a 1986 Carrera coupe this weekend. I'm posting to stay thank you to all of the posters on this forum. I've been lurking for a few months now and I have gained so much info. I special thanks to rockrimmon and his "newbie" post that has been like a bible to me through out the search, PPI, and purchase process.

I think I have a pretty good car but my new best friend is my local Porsche mechanic. These cars are truly special.

Again thanks.

Best to you and yours',

Doyle, the car is a really stock Guards Red coupe with black interior. I wanted an unmolested car. The only mod I can see is the mandatory radio upgrade. Very few options. Just a base 911.

SC I do need to get some pics off my phone. Work in progress.

GR over black. Can't go wrong with that. Willkommen! The only music you need is in the back.

Congrats and thanks for the kudos. I too learned a ton here as well as other printed sources before taking the plunge. I do spend more time on the other, ahem forum now, but do check here on occasion.

Put 530 miles on my car over 14 hours on Saturday going out on a long drive and attending a car show. Awesome experience and I love my 911 more now than before.

Pics please.

I'm always surprised when people say that this forum helped them. I don't think we've really done much tech in ages.
