Greg, you are correct it usually is a tough crowd here...

You know RR there is another product I used recently but I have NO IDEA what it is called... I call it liquid Kryptonite because it is BRIGHT GREEN... I *think* it is a general purpose cleaner and man does it work well, but the pro detailer that turned me on to it said you have to be careful with it AND recondition the leather after use because it will dry it out... If I ever can get the name of the product out of him I'll let you know, but I do like the leatherique pretty well, but it is quite mild so it won't get out bad stains.

Good luck.

Yeah man, like when someone wants to sell a car or talk about crazy scientific theories that will make their car faster, but this is the type of thread I expect to be all "great job" and "congratulations" and ****.

The car looks fantastic, James is just upset that he got the regular option on his GTS and not the uber rare one you have.

riiiiiiiiiiight.. haha

I'm actually more upset with what Jon B. said because I am 100% positive that the car has never been in a collision.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

OMG, nearly fell out of my wheelchair laughing! ROTFLMAO!!! You know I want a black on black GTS so I can do a full repaint...I wan't a '93 and to convert it to Signal Green and then I want a '95 to turn in to a tribute car to the last US GTS! I guess I am going to have to win the lottery for that to happen though! LOL!

Well, Jon saw an off color panel and a "rare" non-painted GTS wing on the car and put 2 and 2 together. Might just be that the passenger rear window got broken somehow and then when replaced they didn't quite get the seal right and thus the rust spot and thus the repaint on the Qtr panel... A wreck is an easier answer when you see something like that and a logical guess, but in this case it is probably not correct.

James, are they picking on you again?
Food for thought: Ordering a Porsche with an "insignia Delete" option.

BTW Range Rover, kudos to you & your dad for hitting 1st place on the concours!

Wait, I remember the 3rd owner telling me that he had the passenger side rear quarter panel replaced due to various scratches and dings. I suspect that the body shop didn't reinstall the window properly.

^^^^^
There you go! If the shop has not messed w/ 928's much they will THINK they have the QTR window in properly but it won't be and even with just washing the car it will eventually start to rust right at the bottom of the window...

Andy, they are being mean to me... I'm gonna go tell my mommy! LOL! Just messing with RR is all, and trying to help out a bit too maybe. Helping him figure out why things are the way they are with the car too it would appear. Also some detailing product help...

RR...I doubt it...you just caught the crew in a saucy mood tonight is all...we wish we were out with hot chicks having a good time and instead we are screwing around on the internet and stuff...

Jon B.....I take it that you didn't vote for my car?
Sorry man, we voted for Jim's car. The wing/rear quarter and the seats did it for me. I've been around some VERY nice 928s and had my hand in preparing said cars, nothing personal. Your GTS was nice, just not what I thought should have won the 928 group.

Ughh...Jim's car. Almost bought that one, but decided to go with a GTS.
