Let me know when you'll be getting the bugs off your new car, I'll swing by with a beer to toast your new acquisition! Let me know what brand you drink.
Man I wish I was free this weekend-we could have a welcoming party!

Mike, that is a terrific Idea. I live by Sea Bright. I'm about 30 minutes north of you. I like MANY brands!

My best friend in the world lives in Pt. Pleasant. I go to the Colonial Market with him all the time. I work at a radio station that kicks off the summer at Jenkinsons in Pt Pleasant Beach, as a matter of fact I was in Pt. Pleasant last week shooting a TV commercial for my morning show.

Andrew...I'm afraid to ask, but what's the emergency roadside kit do?

There are three simple relays all the same number which can make a 85> 928 stop running when they fail. That is what he is showing a spare relay.

Jim's right. You cannot go on a trip without one of these. I'll go over it with you tomorrow.

Norcoast,
Make sure to document your trip. Getting a 928 and driving it home is an adventure!!! I had a great time driving mine home as did quite a few folks here on Rennlist!!

The relay that AO is going to give you is kind of like a pre made charcoal canister that the guys on Apollo 13 had to build!! It will make sure you get home should things go a little bonkers!

When you get the car you also get 24 hr AO roadside call service. You can call his *** with any question and he will guide you through everything from installing the Roadside Assistance relay to changing the spare, to disabling the timing belt warning light when it goes off on the way home!

Ok seriously, Welcome to the cult!! AO will be a previous owner (PO) that you will praise instead of bitch at. Look forward to meeting you at an event in the future.

Make sure to put PO=AO in your signature!
Safe travels man!!

Ah, very cool. My wife used to go to that kickoff show every year. Hasn't made it in the last year or two.

So let me know if you're going to be around on Sunday afternoon or evening and want some company.




Tick tick tick...

Does our friend got his 928 yet?
Wish him a good ride back home.

I know it is a VERY special day for him today.

Let us know how's things going.
Enjoy!

Ummm... there's been a slight delay. Not on my end.

Someone forgot to check if the itinerary said AM or PM. He'll be here tonight.
