What did I get for Christmas?

The car I've been wanting since high school in the early 80's!

My husband bought me a 1978 928 5-spd. Chasis #148. We flew down to Sacramento yesterday and drove it 600 miles back home - we were home by 10:30p.m.

Darned if I wasn't the one to get pulled over! I had the last 300 miles which left me driving in Oregon - pretty tight on their speeding laws. I didn't get a ticket, though.

In true Porsche style (or so I hear) my dash lights didn't work (and still don't after replacing the fuse today - the lighter now works so I know the contacts are good) - anyway the state officer thought that was, indeed, a good reason to be exceeding the speed limit.

It's great to finally have the car of my dreams and it's a lot of fun to soak the stuck and moldy pages of the owner's manual open in effort to gather information on the beast.

Wow! That's one heck of a shop! Congrats and well done!!!!

 

Part of my list was a new dash light dimmer rheostat, could be what you need.

 

yeah ... lucky you're a chick .... we dudes don't get that kinda thing ... but whatever works for ya - no ticket is no ticket ... so are you in our neck of the woods?? When do we all see the car?

 

The only thing Porsche related was a Porsche watch. I couldn't really ask for anything for my car, because nobody would know what exactly I want. I requested money so I could pick out the things I want.
