Default Introducing myself

Hey guys this isn’t anything about my car, I just wanted to introduce myself. Many of you guys may know my dad as MainePorsche. He loves his 1987 928 s4 but now he’s passing the responsibility of taking care of it to me his son. My name is Craig also but many people call me little Craig or junior, I’ve been working on this car with my dad since i was a little kid and i have a lot to learn from him and you guy on here, my dad speaks very highly of alot of you because you guys have helped him with problems that he never thought he could fix, and i would like to become as knowledgeable as many of you are about the 928 and i would greatly appreciate your help and support through this long adventure of keeping a classic antique Porsche running as it if were brand new. I really look forward to getting to know you guys on here 😊

Congrats Craig and welcome! And you got one cool a$$ dad passing along that sweet '87 with no rubbies! You are correct, you can and will learn a lot here. But first rule, and even though your dad probably already did, it's your car now and...

Craig (junior), welcome, I probably met you at Owls Head Museum some years ago, I had my silver S4 back then. Your dad took great care of the 928, as I know you will too..

Please say say hi to your dad for me.

Welcome to Rennlist Craig - what a great car to inherit, and pretty cool that you grew up with it. Looking forward to your questions and contributions.


And oh by the way, even though we know who your dad is and your car, you are new to it so...... WORTHLESS WITHOUT........

Hello mon ami,
Yes, it has been a while. Hope you are well.
Many life changes, and now time to turn it over to Son.
Be well. I’ll pop in from time to time.

Thanks my friend!

Nice that Junior will have the chance to drive such a great car and keep it on the road for another few decades…
I'm sure he enjoys the time he spends with his father working on the car. That's quality time for sure!

Take good care and hope to see you here again from time to time.
