Just make sure you don't buy a set of sheep skin covers for those seats!

Looks like we have another great car that needs to show up to Marble Falls this fall.

3rd Coast 928 meet.


Nice ride and I look forward to seeing it in person.

Rich, I really can't decide if I should or if you actually think this is a joke. I almost just ignored you, but sometimes I wonder if you are actually just needing attention.

Thanks Sean! Man, I'm looking forward to heading up your way for one of your monthly DFW get togethers. I gotta get some parts from Roger too. MM, pan gasket and some other odds-n-ends. Count me in for the 928 meet. Marble falls is a quick hop from Austin, and the scenery is beautiful.

Or Sean, you may as well just say it. As we've discussed at our DFW gatherings a number of times; he's just an ***. I've been ignoring him, and biting my tongue, but this was totally uncalled for. We'd pretty much been warned to keep this off the board, but this geek won't leave it alone. What to do?

Ben: Very nice car. Can't wait to see it in person and meet you. Our Texas group gets stronger every month, it seems.

Thanks Ed. Looking forward to it. This car is SO different than the boxster. Feels heavy, solid and almost like she's got no powersteering. Quite a brute! Such a different animal, I'm really enjoying getting to know her.

You'll find that is one of the best aspects here: the difference. My 911 and my 928 provide me with such diverse experiences. It is great to drive either based on my mood that day.

And what's wrong with sheepskins? I've got a custom set installed in my GTS.

I've previously asked you to refrain from starting flamewars, Rich.

Perhaps a week off will help to reinforce how serious I am about that. See my email to you.

BG,

Car looks stylin' and ready to rack up some miles. The seats are supercool. Enjoy the ride and welcome to the board.

It's a shame it's a slushbox.

Congrats Ben! Was this the car from St. Louis? I have your sister car! Well, kinda, mine is an early 87 close to your serial number and also came from St. Louis.
Your pictures with the low sunlight on black are awesome

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Yeah, I know she's an auto. I was looking for one actually. Too many trips in rush hour will do that to you! The car has been in Texas for at least 10 years Mike. (as far as I know anyhow!). I'm diggin the Captain Kirk chairs so far. The side bolsters actually expand at the push of a button around your torso to hold you in.
Keith, love the GTS bumper workover. Keep the ideas rolling!

BG.
