Thanks, Dave! This is a really beautiful car. We can't believe we found it...we feel very privileged just having it in our driveway.

Hey, just sent you an email. You got another minute?

Wow, congrats Leslie. Pretty soon we'll be able to find your place by using google earth and looking for the driveway full of 928s!

Tell Kevin I said good luck with that one and all his other 'irons in the fire'. It's starting to look a little like spring around here (ok, maybe not, but the days are getting longer ). Anyway, any plans for a spring drive and/or dyno session?

I got a spare LH and EZK so I can do some dyno runs back to back with different chip combos quickly and I want to get a split second AFM like Kevin's got so I know I'm not leaning out up top again and can get a good run this time.

Great pickup!

Well, as it turns out, looks like no one will be driving it any time soon. Xvetteowner didn't take care of the paper work properly when he bought the car, and the title is now void. So until that can be straightened out....

Besides which, although the engine bay is very clean, it does help if you dry the wire connections and ignition wire ends and not leave them to rust and corrode after cleaning.

Oh that won't look like that for long.

This was more than just a little odd...

Count on you, Ernest, to make a funny out of nothing...

Jumper icons, indeed. Pffft.




They're the racing style! 1/3 of an ounce weight savings for each one!

993MI, we like to be equal opportunity 928 owners in this household. So now we have a white one, a black one and a blue(ish) one.

But I saw this mauve one in some listing somewhere.....fabulous color.....but it was probably wasted.....they're not hard to fix, are they?

lol....not just yet, they are only 12 and 11, after all. But, I am sure in not too many more years, my son, at the very least, will be looking at whichever one is least driven with a hungry eye.

*sigh* Oh well, I guess he can give his sister rides around to her various activities too!
