Come on Jim-- She was hot when I bought her! I didn't drive her much early, but I sometimes take her out in the later years. She gained expensive habits that seemed to swell in spite of the low miles. Still plenty of flash, recognized especially among groups that appreciate classic beauty. Get a knowing wink from folks who have been down the same road with similar models. And she still earns the appreciation of younger folks who have chosen newer but less costly examples. The newer ones are more complex, and it remains to be seen if they are really better in the long run. I've tried a few of those myself, but still come back to what I love.


Good news is I can slow the aging if I keep her locked in the dark, climate-regulated garage. Regular fluid changes are still a must, of course.

I would love to get to Fl functions, but time is my enemy, my profession takes the lion's share of my day, and then my lovely wife the rest, so I don't get much other time lately. I even had to cancel my Parade trip for end of this month... it is what is it , someday it will be different.

I hope you get the time thing turned around. Its a shame you have all those beautiful cars and don't get to enjoy them more. You only have so long on this planet... and then some1 else will be enjoying your beautiful cars!

just my 2 cents

I volunteer to drive at least one of your cars at least once a week past your office window, so you can at least you can see them.
No trouble at all really, that's what rennlisters do for each other.

Damn and I thought I had a lot of Porsche's! WOW! Nice garage! Would love to add a 968 Cab, Boxster and 996/997TT to my collection at some point! Then a few Ferrari's (probably a 400 will be my next car) and an E46 M3...
