Hey Jeff, long time no see. I am assuming that you were studying for those blasted Arch. licensing exams, how wass it? I will be taking those exams next year. If you have study materials that you want to pawn-off to recoup some costs PM me.
Regarding the car, does anybody know if the top is power? Is it as complex as say a Boxster's or is more like a Miata's? If it is like the latter I maybe interested if someone where to take my Turbo off my hands.

The top on the 968 is power, and can be turned into manual with the turn of two bolts. It is very easy to operate in manual mode and seems to be a more preferred. The top isn't complex, it's very easy to understand it's workings when you look at it, but if you break something it can be expensive. Generally you only break something if you leave it in power mode. I'm sure this cars top would go down if you switched it to manual mode and wouldn't be an issue.

Geez, not you selling your 951 too?!?! I almost dumped mine, but I figure I have too much invested into it for me to ever recoup my costs at this point - it's just cheaper to keep her.

Hey Jeff! Nice to hear from you -- I figured you must have been busy with this thing called 'life'. Rennlist sure does suck quite a bit of time from it.....
So when are you going to go see this car?

Besides my weekends have been taken up by a new cycling hobby, I have been looking at road bikes more than cars recently.

OMFG! Don't tell me it took a box of parts to lure you out! Nice to see see you around Jeff.
I sent you an email yesterday thinking a PM was out of the question.
BTW, someone posted today looking for a TO40...

Shoot man, when were you there? If you were up my way you shoulda' knocked and we could've at least gone for a drive or something. . .
Thanks for the parts - I'd actually forgotten 'bout those!
Scary.
I finally got both cars through the smog ***** so I'm good to go with some upgrade work soon.

Course my selling has been pretty half-assed at this point without posting an ad anywhere yet.

I haven't seen you around too much. I've been into cycling for quite some time. Cycling, 944, and other hobbies = a lot of money. Anyways, if you're in the LA area, maybe we can go for a ride.
