Default Introducing my new 1989 930 RUF conversion

Every now and then I have noticed someone introducing their car so I thought I might as well do the same. Yesterday I discovered in another thread that another Rennlist contributor had test driven and considered this car a few years ago in the Bay area. This fact actually made me want to show some info on this car. This car has service records, or some other mention in my documentation for the car from the following places:
Palmdale, CA
Los Altos, CA
San Jose, CA
Campbell, CA
San Rafael, CA
Mountain View, CA
Ross, CA
Charlotte, NC

I believe this car will not be put on the market again as I am thinking it will be passed on to the younger family members one day when I can no longer drive, or work on it. I drive this every day, except on rainy days, and to say I am excited about this car is a major understatement. Don't know yet how many pics we can post, but I'll upload a couple here:

Thanks! Yes, my number one priority is to stay alive, and for the car to remain unharmed as well.
BTW, forgot to mention in the original post that the car had just over 48,000 miles on it when I bought it.

Thanks sand_man and LeonardZ!
How does it drive? It demands my constant attention. In the past I used to listen to music and think about other things while I was driving. Not with this one, I am constantly focused on the driving, and enjoying every second of it. It can give a civil appearance when driving in traffic, but it really responds when I put my foot down. But then again, I know all of you have the very same experiences and even have cars that are very much more powerful than this one. But this one has plenty power for me.

What I like, is that you took the car just far enough and said...STOP! Very tastefully done, not over the top, and that's my philosophy on these matters. In the end it's nice to say you're happy and can finally just enjoy it...and how do you enjoy it...BY DRIVING THE F_CKING THING just as you are!!!!

Thats the car Olli. I remember specifically the way the 3.3/3.4 engine tag was folded near the 3.5% number on there. Contact me if you ever sell it. Like I said, I kicked myself in the rear for not buying that car when it was here.

I remember San Rafael is where the car came from.
