Cross country drive to take 928 home
 
Hi-
I bought PerryS4's 1990 S4. Driving it home from Santa Ana to Dubuque IA via Las Vegas, Denver, Lincoln, Des Moines and Dubuque. Ron said I should post this here and let the group know I bought his car. Trying to figure out how to add a signature but the User CP doesn't show an area to this tired brain right now.

Jeff - Congrats on getting a great car. Ron has been a long time member here and his car has always been maintained to a high level by the best 928 technicians and local SoCal 928 Rlist members. You got a very good car.

You will need to become a Rennlist Member (a few $ subscription) in order to post a sig file, see/post pics, see "members only" areas.

Welcome. Be sure to read every page of the "NEW VISITOR? Read This Forum Guideline FAQ *BEFORE YOUR FIRST POST*" thread at the top of this forum. It is full of great info about maintaining and getting the most out of your car and this forum.

Congrats!!

Congrats on the car - it sure looks like a good one.

I've driven two across country - if you thought you liked these cars before, you'll absolutely love it after a long road trip! Keep a journal and take lots of pics to post up here. Good luck with the drive!

Good job on getting Rons car and welcome to the RL show.

Perhaps there'll be an opportunity to gather with other folks in the SW Canada NW USA region...........have a great roadtrip.

Hey, great that your driving across the country, if you need anything when you get to Denver post on the board we have a big group here.
BTW any idea when you will be passing through??

Congrats on your purchase. Have a very safe and fun drive back to Iowa too. My first 928 drive was to bring my car from Denver home to SoCal. Nothing like an extended cruise/tour to appreciate what a fine GT car you've acquired!

Take good care of the car. The SoCal crew has more than a few hours invested in that car to keep it nice. As the new caretaker, the duty now passes to you to continue the tradition. Fine dry-climate cars are getting rare as the years go by. As much as Porsche did a good job with rust management on the cars, with galvanizing, protectant sprays and undercoating, finding one like Ron's with NO damage at all is going to be a real treat in Iowa. Maintenence is so much easier. Enjoy!

Ron's car...now Jeff's car is an exceptional car. He got one hell of a nice car...for one hell of a great price. Hope the trip goes well.

Congrats on acquiring your 928! Have a safe and enjoyable trip to IA. A cross country trip in a 928 is the only way to fly! A radar detector is a great investment.

Jeff,

Congrats and welcome!! It's been almost 2 years since I made the trip with my dad from Dallas to Atlanta to pick up the GTS and drive her home. I spent more time with my dad in a car than I probably had since I was a kid. Had a blast with him and the car on the way back. Memories for a lifetime!

Document the trip man, safe travels!!:burnout:

Congrat on your new car, I do a cross trip to get my car too, great experience in a 928.
