Default Call of the Wild (1981 SC)

I have resisted an affordable 1980-1986 911 for years.

And suddenly! Right time, right, place, right car... I believe this one has me hooked. Another week or two for inspection, road test, etc. So many questions to follow. Great forum from a heretofore lurker.

Nice Targa and all, but what's with the 1600 in the background?

Oh, and welcome to Rennlist.

The garage has the SC and two early model restorations in progress; I believe the other was a 356C and all three were headed for ebay until I walked in. Want details?

Nice looking car. I just bought a 1984 911 Carrera Targa 3 days ago. Are you going to join a local sports car club?

Lizard Lick! Before I became a telelcommuter, I drove my car through there every morning on the way to work. I hope it works out for you. If you aren't doing anything Saturday morning, a bunch of us and other cars will be at Brier Creek for the monthly C&C gathering. Plenty of Porsche activity going on in the area year round.

Saturday sez motorcycle weather; possibility of Brier Creek 70% likely. Holler at the white beard on the red Goldwing and thx in advance for the kind heads-up.

Wife, job, travel, three cats, big dog, live-in father-in-law, grass to mow, pipe-cigar forum moderator... I guess there's still room for a car club.

In truth I am gregarious but not a big joiner, however an antique 911 seems to need a community or someone elses bank account to survive. I'd like to maximize my driving (and driving enjoyment) while minimizing stoopid mistakes and costly blind alleys. That means... probably, yes.

I've got GF, 2 old dogs, 60 hour a week job, and old house falling down around my ears. I want to join a sports car club, too!

Welcome

I used Lizard Lick towing when I locked my keys in the VW that was blocking my moving truck the night before closing around midnight.

Need to post more photos.

Feel free to send me or Michael a PM about getting together in the Triangle area. He is the expert at finding the fun scenic backroads foe a "leisurely" drive.

Welcome!

I'm a cigar fiend, and Targas without tops on are the one P-car you can smoke a cigar in and not regret it or feel like you did some damage.

This is encouraging, if not critical, advice.
