Thumbs up Picking up my new to me 951!

So it's early on a Sunday morning and I'm about to board a plane from Columbus, Ohio to Baltimore, Maryland to pick up the 1988 951 that I've been eyeing for the last two months. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

By the way that's it in the avitar.

be careful in your exitement about the splitter. It is low - and it something the owner wont say, for obvious reasons.

Yeah, you're in columbus. You better be there. Isn't that like a 45 minute drive or something?

One of the best days of my life, flew to Baltimore and drove 430 miles all the way back in the same day and didn't want to get out of it.

I love the splitter it gives the front end a completely different look, makes it real low but, not so low that you can't drive the car, you just have to be careful. The owner was completely upfront with everything, no suprises so far, and if you see this thanks Jerry.

Kenny, I made it in and out of the garage multiple times tonight, never scraped once, I definatly have to take each ramp at a major angle though.
