Welcome, I'd like to introduce you to the caps lock key.

I like the 928 a lot, but I am not quite ready to do the chicken dance in lederhosen.

The newbie readme post has a link to a list of preferred mechanics, and I am sure some fellow NJers will have suggestions.

Hmmm... Let's see now...

How can I be graciously welcoming and at the same time offer a little friendly advice?

Well, I'll give it a shot:

Welcome to Rennlist, Valtin! Congratulations on your new 928. Hope you have many miles of enjoyable driving ahead.

Generally the 928 community here is very friendly, very knowledgeable, and very willing to help - always online, and sometimes in person. I'm not much of a wrench, so I read a lot and learn a lot here.

However, I would suggest that you'll receive an even warmer welcome if you:

1. Don't type all in CAPS. On the internet, that is viewed as the equivalent of SHOUTING! So, it's kinda like real life. If a bunch of guys and gals who know each other are gathered in a diner discussing the wonders of Sharkdom, and someone new bursts in SHOUTING, his welcome may be less collegial than he had hoped.

2. Use a little punctuation. No one expects grammatical perfection, but it will make your posts much more readable if you use periods between your sentences and separate your thoughts into easily digestible paragraphs simply by hitting <Enter> twice.

Having said that, welcome again to Rennlist. Hope you find this site as valuable and enjoyable as I have.

Hi Valtin! Swarz on swarz is one of my favorites. Nice car!

Valtin is an unusual name. So is "Norman", and I want to change it- I hate it, but what's the origin of your name? Sounds slavic to me. My ancestors were from the Czech republic, though my grandparents were born in the US.

N!

Dangler - I think, from his response, he thought you were referring to his gas cap.
