I believe the group will agree with me on this. The below picture requires that you, under Rennlist law (Randy can provide the statute number) become a paying member.

Welcome to the family! Stay away from those vineyards with the new one!

Rich,

Welcome! It is most unfortunate about the accident, but that car will live on helping other's rides stay on the road. The fact that you were so quick to replace it with another 928 (and a nice one from the pics) makes you a true believer in my book. Glad that you didn't get hurt in the accident; but that phone call must've stung a little?

Thank for the replies, and Beth and I can't wait to go back and get that car!! Oh, I am a paying member, don't need the flame suit because I'm already "Burnt to the Bone" and that phone call, OH MY, I sat in the vineyard for an hour before I called!!!! It doesn't get any harder!!!!

Rich,

Welcome to the group! It will be good to meet you at SITP in May. Regarding the previous 928, look at it this way... you gave it's life so that others may live.

Rich I am very happy you are unscathed. Sorry about the car but it sounds as if you and Beth are on top of it. Anyway, tell us what happened ... how did you manage that with only grapes all around? Or was it ...on the way back from a little taste - a - taste ...

Welcome! Too bad about the first car.... there's other ways to go about upgrading, you know... but as others have said, it will help other sharks live on.

Randy,
Thanks for the shot, I I found a 97 CRV and a "Big Wheel" so you and your kids can race in the driveway. OK a little history, I grew up with straight line cars. My Uncle had a speed shop so we built muscle cars. I had a 69-z-28 and then 67 Nova (Balanced and blue printed, Etlibrok cross ram, Morozo 9 qrt, M-22 rock crusher, 411's) "Nice" then I bought a 70 AAR Cuda, 340 Hemi, wow what a car. The speedo went to 140 and I sold it with a bent speedo needle. The Cuda is what made turn to the 928's, when I looked at Beth's engine I said that's a Hemi. Oh well I'm hooked, and I spent 3hrs crawling around underneath the "Blue Car" with a towel some simple greem and a little wire brush the day before I screwed up. "YES I SCREWED UP". So anyways I'm pretty good in a straight line so I think I should get in my truck and pratice doing turns around the block.
