Great outfit, Hennessy Porsche did the PP inspection on my 928 S4 before I bought it. PO lived in Roswell. Jack is a great guy, just wish I lived closer by so I could drop in too.

My 928 may not be pretty and may not be fully functional but I am always working to improve. If I get it back on the road by then I'll be there with it, else without if welcome with a, dare I say, Chevy.

Where are you located at?

We have a pretty good group of 928 guys here.
And the Chevy is fine to bring, or we can get you a ride I am sure.

It's on my calendar, but unless my house sells (on the market now for 8 months) so I can afford a new radiator, I'll be bringing the Volvo.

Looking forward to meeting you as well. Are you a recent transplant into Ga. and/or a new 928 owner?

We have been in Ga for just over 3 years now.The 928 has been in my family for 23 years, and I now have it since my father was no longer able to drive it. I have had it for the last 3 years and I am slowly working to get it back to a clean restored 928. I use to be a Porsche Tech years ago so I know my way around the 80's Porsche models and especially the 928. My dad used my position as a tech for alot of free labor Anyways I'm looking forward to meeting you and the other 928 fans in Ga.

Wow,
I'd love to attend as Jack did the PPI on the Charlie Car before I drove it back to DFW w my dad. Jack is a great guy, VERY knowledgeable on 928's as he has owned and worked on them for years. I set up the PPI about a week before and talked to him several times before making the trip out there. Hope y'all have a fantastic time!!

Tell Jack I said hi!! Here's a few pics of the day I picked her up.

During the PPI at Hennessy Porsche. Jack pulling her out, Me and my dad about to drive off, etc.

Wish you could make it Abby. It's never too far in a 928.
It would be good to see you again. Hope all is well with you and yours.

I wish that I could make it, but as it turns out, I am working that weekend in downtown Atlanta. I would like to meet some fellow Atlanta 928 owners though.
Maybe next time.

I hope you can make it Bruce. What's wrong with your radiator? If it's just an end tank that is leaking, we can fix that pretty quickly for a lot less than the price of a new radiator.

Mike - your're right. Car's been parked since August - temp light came on driving home, and the next morning noted a pool of fluid on the garage floor. I suspect the passenger side end tank, but haven't had time to have a close look. On the positive side, house is under contract, so I'll have available time and $ mid-January to take a close look and address the situation.
