Happy birthday Rog, wishing you all the best.

BTW, I understand about the gearbox, and I never got the feel of the early 928s until I drove a 911 with the 915 box. Maybe you should get one to practice on !

Wow, way to go. Since it's a stick, I'll drive it for you. I can bring back the auto and swap later today.

Happy Birthday Roger!

And a great looking car. I am amazed at some of the incredible examples of 928's people have found in the past month or so.

I think that luggage would look really nice in the back of my new 928...color almost matches. Feel free to send with my wheels and exhaust if you want.

So Mr. Rogers,

How was the big round driving lights?
Did it light up the road like the rallye cars plunging through dark forest paths chasing the 2 bright beams.

Roger,

I need a new set of luggage for a trip you know where to ship them to :icon107
:
If the 5-Speed gets to bothersome I will find a place in my garage next to the luggage.
Mark

P.S. I heard there was a large fire in Texas that could be seen from space; was it caused by the amount of candles on your cake !

Roger--

Happy Birthday and nice catch!

Any chance you could loan the luggage to Paul C, so some of us not-so-fortunate could have some made?

Happy Birthday Roger!


What a find! Beware the allure of the 5-speed. It will grow on you...
