Claims Manager for an auto insurance company in NJ. My company deals mostly with high end models ( lots of Porsches, Aston Martins, Ferraris).

Lots of fraud investigations involving vehicles mysteriously disappearing, then reappearing after we pay them off. Lots of people can't make the lease payments then the car mysteriously disappears.

Fun Stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!

perrys4,

I saw 'photos by R Perry' on a R&T review of a 928 S4 called 'The Fleetest of the Fleet'. I think that the shoot was Las Vegas around 1990. I thought that might have been your work.

Animation and graphics for television is my game. I have previous lives as a mechanical engineer (mostly for Rover cars) and as an industrial designer.

Cheers

Wow, what a group!

I'm a software engineer by training, but currently working as a standards engineer - going to mobile phone standards meetings around the world. Much more glamorous sounding than it is. Hotel conference rooms all start to look the same. And all airlines look the same when your eyes are closed, or even when open for tha matter. I've worked at a whole bunch of companies, being a silicon valley boy - video games (Atari), tanks (FMC), semiconductor (scanning laser microscopes), ocean floor scanning (Triton), mobile phones (Motorola and now Qualcomm).

I'm really pleased to be with all of you. Although I am most jealous of the Playboy in Malmo.

Cheers,
Peter

I've been a mechanical engineer, roofing contractor, musician (trumpet), cardiac catheterization tech, and a few other things. But the only thing I love, and that has made me enough to retire, is real estate. In the last fifteen years, I've ridden the real estate wave, going from one property to the next.
I may be going back to engineering in the form of a startup fuel cell company.

Wow - this is interesting. Looks like the majority of us have a career related to a mechanical/electrical/engineering field. So I supose it makes sense we love the 928 - a technical wonder!

And Andy - there are still drive up tellers out there? Haven't had them in these parts for at least 10 years!

Aeronautical / avionics / control engineer by training. Software engineer (ie. software geek) by predilection. Manger of software geeks then soon thereafter serial entrepreneur (as long as you count "2" ) and now manager of managers of software geeks, professional services, IT, etc. Our software makes your cell phones, computers, and other goodies with integrated circuits cheaper, faster, smaller. (Just helpin' out with keeping Moore's Law going.)

I like working on the 928 as a break in the routine. It's in MeatSpace. As, oppossed to everything else I do which is either in Cyberspace or CustomerSpace. And now back to CyberCustomerSpace...

Just curious.

Okay my turn.

I'm the Dean of Business Programs for Heald College, Rancho Cordova. I started teaching after college. Taught in Texas for four years and migrated to California to stay married. Taught at Heald for ten years and was offered the opportunity to move into Academic Affairs. Stupidly thinking a Dean doesn't do anything I jumped. What an IDIOT I am.

My Uncle Mike got me hooked on P-cars at an early age. He used to drive with me and my sister flat out in his then new 911E. Had to have one of those and just about every other 9 car up through the early 90s. Haven't been normal since.

Regards,

all flowmeter and flow related, any fluid (liquid, gas, oil..)
My specialty? Mass Flowmeters, i can do anythig with them (even blowing up the occasional one )
most of our clients are in the aerospace of petrochem-pharmaceut industries...
No dealing directly with NIST (our calibrations are NIST traceable, however).
