New owner of 88' S4

Well, here is my 88' S4 which I picked up last week. It's Diamond Blue Metallic, with Linen Interior and blue piping and in overall good condition. I've already name it Helmut. lol. We, the PCA/First Settlers Crew in Hampton Roads had a tech session [Brakes] in Checkered Flag...great turn out. I got to park beside my 928 idol, George Micheal's award winning GT (stunning). George looked it over and gave me some tips...thanks George!. I'm replacing fuel lines from Greg Brown, other things and continuing to educate myself on this most helpful and awesome forum.

Oldest privately owned shipyard in the U.S. FWIW, Colonna's refitted the confederate Virginia, into the iron clad Merrimack for the battle of Hampton Roads, on the Elizabeth River, and changed Naval Warfare forever.

thanks guys. I was reading a lot on Rennlist before getting it. I even join PCA and read David Jennings The Essential Buyers Guide.before getting the car (positive affirmation) You know you have it pretty bad when you click on every YouTube video entitled Porsche 928. lol.
