You drive two hours to just go "look" at another 928 and it ends up following you home.

1979 black on black 5 spd motor siezed sounds like spun bearing, car is rough but hiding under all that grime and paint is an origally petrol blue with cork interior car. Border line on restoration its pretty tough will be a parts car for the moment, although that had a habbit of changing with us. he he

You've taken your car apart three times to fix the same problem, without fixing it, and the thought of selling the blasted thing never enters your mind...(see definition of insanity)

When you turn on the ignition and listen for a functional #22 fuse before even cranking her over, and secretly smile when it does.

..when you accept the fact, a little oil on the driveway won't hurt anything? -or when you see a 928 on a movie while watching TV, and you try to show it to other family members..like they care? lol

Thanx. Got right to: http://www.sourcingmap.com/19mm-stee...s-p-92321.html
not to mention all the rest.

You know you're a 928 owner if you know who wanted "V1 UH-OH" for a license plate and the story that goes with.

When you find that you've been saying you "really ought to sell" one of your "finds" for more than three years.

...when you would rather drive a 928 than z06 track car or M3 that sit in your garage next to it.

Ouch man. That hurts to look at.

To continue the thread...

When you will drive 1,000+ miles roundtrip to hang out with other 928ers at SITM, even if most of the folks you hung out with last year for whatever reason can't make it this year, because you know you will be amongst friends, and will make new ones!

And you strip down to demo after gas from your pressure regulators spray you with a hot engine, and searching for your dance partner in red that sprays snow white. Then laugh it off when nothing goes boom and you continue working in your underwear.
