Default Any 928 Owners Near Jena, Germany?

Headed there in a couple of weeks for work. If nearby, I'll buy beer/wine/food/petrol for a ride or two in your 928.

Jena is pretty small and some distance from the major metro areas but thought I'd see if anyone was near by.

What's there to do in Jena? I'm "only" 4 hours away and the car needs a top and front end refresh

Aryan,
Is Tilo still around the 928 gang these days. I only talked to him once after he joined me on a private tour of the P-car factory back in 2000.

How far away is Shocki?

James, actually I don't think I know him. I'm not a gang member, I just go to meetings sometimes

Shocki (Munchen) is about 3,5 - 4 hours away from Jena.

My friend Elliott on the left and Tilo (or was he Thilo??? I can't remember...one of them used to own Big Bird here...the other is the one in the pic...same pronunciation different spellings) on the right. I think he was a lawyer or getting started as one. This is back in Y2K...I think he had an S4...'90 model maybe???

Looks like I will only be available to meet up Monday afternoon / night. I arrive Frankfurt (FRA) early Monday morning, will be taking the train to Jena. Should get there around noon time.

Aryan, what is that white stuff on your car?

Dan:

Unfortunately, I don't know any 928 owners in Jena. You might want to contact Schocki here on rennlist - he is more active in Germany and might be able to hook you up.

PS: Only 5 users from Jena are registered on PFF.DE, but none of these own a 928.


James:

Last I've heard about Thilo was after he crashed the red Stuck GTS on the Autobahn at about 270 km/h... That was in April of 2005. He didn't have any serious injuries, but I don't know, if he ever got another 928.

I have never met him personally; he wasn't at any of the 928 related events that I attended in and around Stuttgart (which is where he used to live).

PS: His last post on the German PFF.DE forum was in 2006.

How about Munich? I'll be there from 4/12-4/15. If any Rennlisters are close by, I'd be happy to buy a drink or two.

^^^ That'll be a lot easier. Lots of "South Sharks" in that area. Schocki is one of them.
