What's in a name? How does your screen name relate to the 928? Or does it?

Landseer is a color designation for a white Newfoundland w/ black head and saddle.

Raising them was a hobby a while back. Last one we had could stand on all fours and drink from the faucet at the kitchen sink.

Had one sitting in front seat of a 928 once. Tight fit, especially in a sunroof car.

Mine is a reference to being a quiet child and always getting forgotten and it got me the label :the forgotten one"

Same for the 81 I have as it is a year nobody cares about for the most part ie forgotten.

The On was just a typo lol.

First name: Pete
Favorite food: pizza

Wife came up with the name as a hybrid of the 2.

A '73 914 was my first car back in 1984 and the thing that started this Porsche modding obsession that has become my life. In fact, many of the parts from that '73 are in my current '74 that I finished the build on in 2001. Now I drive it around some, win an occasional award with it, but am really keeping it for my 11 year old son to use and learn about cars with, like I did.

"Adk46" refers to the 46 high peaks of the Adirondack Mountains. Those who climb them all are admired and respected by some, considered great fools by others. That is, just like owners of 928's.

A related question is "What would now be a better handle for you?" For Thom, maybe "Pump Trasher".

On a more serious note, I like when people include their real name in their signature. Own the foolishness!

I wish you people would put your faces in your SIGs or your profile pics.

Hi Ove,
I have been in Norway in August but will contact you next time I need to fly from CDG to OSL

Regarding my alias, I let you guess...
