If you can't memorize the telephone numbers of the ~ 5-6 specialty suppliers of 928 parts, and even CONSIDER taking your 928 to "the mechanic" at your local Porsche dealer.

OOOHHH that one stung a bit.

I have always wanted a Porche and can't afford a 911, but the 928 has always been my dream car. Does that count? (I'll admit if someone gave me a 911 I would NOT turn it away)

Best not to forget gurus Wally and Greg and if you have to ask for their last names, you best not even be owning a 928 at this point!

A 928 might not be for you........

If you can't wrench on complex systems you've never heard of, on places of a car you didn't know existed, with just a quick read of a helpful thread on Rennlist.

They know it by heart, but I am restoring completely an 86.5, and without their assistance it would have been an impossibility, they and the other devoted vendors for these cars are a true asset to the Porsche community. How is that for kissing *** for ya, Mark can I get a discount... LOL
