I'm new to THE LIST as of today, but I have to admit to lurking for quite a while.
I recently was able to gain approval from the wife to buy the only foreign car that I've ever really had a desire to own - a 928. After looking at many examples over the last few years (and absorbing some of the info from this forum), I found and was able to afford a black on black 86 auto. It was purchased from the local Porsche mechanic and is near perfect mechanically. 928 ownership is even more fun than I had imagined! What a car!

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and compliment this great forum and its many contributors!

Ditto on all of the above.

You are indeed a wise man to seek the "go ahead" from the war department!
Post pics, when available.
Nice to have you!

Regards,
David

Good goin' when the wife agrees, you have a green light. It sounds like you may not have to put any additional dollars into it right away. That will help with wife as well.

Welcome from another relative new comer.

Post your car info on your signature for future reference. And everyone here want pictures....

Welcome, as you probably already know from lurking this is a great bunch and the 928 is a great car.

I don't think there is a question that can be answered here and opinions are readily given, even if you may not really want them.

Don't foget to check back often, activity here can be extreme.
