I will have 4 (maybe 5) of the 7 at OCIC in a couple of days... One of my friends is looking at a new job opportunity and might need to be working on Friday (fingers crossed for him that he does have to stay here actually).

Pictures like these will be the subject of a 2010 calendar I am producing too so watch for that availability soon!
Awesome collection! I especially love the blue color 928's. A little track time in that club sport would be too fun! Thanks for sharing

I told Paul I am driving my car until October and then sending him my seat covers and pads. The plan has been to just restore what I have, but a recent picture Paul posted of a sport seat conversion blew me away.

5-speed and no sunroof.. your car gets better and better with every photo!

The sports steering wheel is great too.

Congratulations again on scoring such a great early 928! Always a pleasure to see one in that condition rather than beaten up and not looked after.

Welcome Back!

You landed yourself a very nice looking shark there.

I've got a set of door glass in bronze. I picked them up to replace some scratched glass in my 86.5... I didn't know there were different shades at the time... If I had known, I could have had all the glass from that car.

Thank you very much. You guys sure know how to make someone feel proud of their shark!

Seriously, how long does it take you to walk away from it when you park somewhere? I just caught myself staring at mine as I walked away from it this morning at the train station and I've had mine almost 3 years!

Hope you can make the GTG/Tech session in a few weeks.

You seem to be confessing that you have not yet read the New Visitor FAQ thread posted at the top of this forum.

Lol. I have seriously been walking backwards when I park it. I have even been pulling up the pictures on my computer at work. I am smitten!

Me too. Look forward to meeting you and seeing some more sharks.

Guilty, but not now. I read it now. This site is a gold mine of great info. So glad I found this site! There is much, much more here then I even realized.
