Another left coaster has returned...excellent! Seems you and I originally joined the Renn w/in months of each other back in '03, as well.
Norton Commando...what a classic beast of a bike.

I was considering checking out this one...http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false
However, a possible opportunity to acquire a truly exceptional S4 has presented itself. This is the one I intend to pursue unless she chooses to stay where she is. We'll see where fate takes it.
"She" will be traveling to warmer a climate... Derek is a great guy, great 928er and really wanted my car; so it will be his. Time to warm up the left foot for some shifting! You will have a great time and my car will be happier out there than as a 2nd class citizen in my garage waiting for "dad" to have some time to play with her.
I still have to spread the bad news to some of my 928 friends...
Carl.

Thanks for the kind words, Carl. When I saw you were considering making your dialed-in ride available....I knew that was the next 928 for me. I'm a driver more than a wrencher and that mean machine of yours is set-up and ready for miles and miles of pure smiles.

Darien, glad to see YOUR still around.... Happy New Year!

Derek, you are one lucky ****! Well done!!
You just pulled my favorite east coast 928s. That's no joke. I've modeled my Perl to try to acheive a similar setup all around - in terms of quality and performance. ...only to be reminded I have a ways to go.
The exhause note on that car is perfect! You're gonna love it.

FWIW, that pearl white paint on your ride is my favorite color, Jim.
My 86.5 has the special order pearl white interior (now unfortunately very aged). I wish she had that pearl exterior to match.
