Hey Guys,

My older brother got this 911 in 1990. I have photos of myself sitting in the back of it in a car seat (somewhere). My brother has a way of neglecting cars and letting them sit and rot. It's been my dream to get this thing up and running for a long time. We kept starting, and then things would get busy and I'd stop.

Only thing left to do is get it smogged next week and then get it registered! It's a normal 911 Cabrio with a 930 bodykit. It doesn't say Turbo on the back of it. Red with black interior. I'll post more pics later, but for now, these are all I have- from the day I got it towed to the mechanic for fluids/service/tune up/inspection.

The car is by no means perfect, and I'm not sure I'm ever gonna get it there, I just want to enjoy it for what it is.

That's interesting. It's not letting me upload the attachments. I'll try again later.

I have lived on the beautiful coast of California for a long time and love it. I can drive the coast road (hwy 1) from my house north past San Francisco, and south through Big Sur and Santa Barbara. This came be done any month of year with top down or up depending on the weather, where else can this be done? Curt

Exactly. I have to drive a bit further to do that, but we have some nice coast in San Diego as well.

I love driving my Porsche down to the Yacht Club on nice sunny winter days, for a nice sail in 60-70F temps!

I was hoping he was just a stalker HIIIIIIIIIII

Thanks. I'm sure they are. The only thing I'm worried about is getting addicted.

Well that's no fun! Kind of cheating in the stalker world.

I envision a crackhead sitting in the corner of the room whispering that while getting ready for his next hit.
