Hello all,
as was discussed in another topic, one of our members, Heinrich, came up with a wonderful text that proclaims out loud what we all feel inside about the shark.
Since I have the equipment available, I proposed to make some engraved plaques of the quote and Heinrich gave us his blessing.
I'm sorry for the picture quality but the reflective nature of the material makes it very hard to photograph. I will modify the next plaques to add the title of the text: "I want a Porsche 928" to the very top.
The plaques are a bit shy of 12" x 24" and are available in brushed silver.
I'm not looking to make any money on this, I only want material cost which is $10 + actual shipping to be determined for each location.
Those who already emailed your interest, thank you. I will need your addresses to figure out shipping and I'll contact you with my PayPal contact.

Here is the quote by the way, for those who didn't see the other post:
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Helvetica">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Helvetica"> I want a Porsche 928
I want street rods.
I want cars that glimmer in the sun, and whose curves make me drop my jaw every time I see them ... even if it is everyday.
I want enough power to outrun any and all Chevy pickups that try to forge past me when I'm entering a freeway.
I want enough power to take that spot in the fast lane next to me, when I turn my blinker on, and not be outgunned by the guy way back there who thinks a lane changer signal means "close ranks".
I want leather all around me, and if I can have leather underpants, that too.
I want a car that sticks to pavement like bubblegum, even though it's 3500lbs, and outbrakes anything else out there, especially when I've dropped the ball and have to correct for my own stupidity.
I want a rear-end that will get down onto its haunches around a decreasing radius turn, not slip out when I lift the throttle to slow down or just because I like the whine of deceleration.
I want to be able to get out on Route 66 and fly for several hours through the nondescript desert at 160mph while chatting with my child in the back seat. Something that will run past 150,000 miles and not even start to feel aged.
I want a car with so much blue blood in it, that every time I drive it, I burst into tears with enjoyment.
I want a Porsche 928.

Thanks to all who sent me an email. I think I responded to everyone but if somehow I missed you, just drop me a line.
There is more interest than I anticipated but I should be able to get all the plaques done over the weekend.
If you haven't done so, please remember to include your shipping address and your choice of either gold or silver. I'll get back to you with your total including shipping
Thanks
Paul

Paul,
Thanks, received mine today. Even my wife who dislikes Porsche's, after reading the Plaque said she now understands why I had to have another one.
Again Thanks for your effort.
