Welcome to the tank! Looks like Mike has been a good influence, don't let him drag you up to the Glen, though... And pics, no matter what condition the car, are always interesting. Esp with that color! What's the interior color, btw?

I am a broken record of late: "lots of info in the 'New Visitor' thread" b/c there are lots of new owners showing up lately. Must be Spring. Maybe your brother has filled you in on "grounds and relays and temp II, neosporin, band aides" etc.

Welcome.

After having an aftermarket all aluminum radiator in my car for 7 years that finally failed, I went back to the Behr factory radiator. It lasted 15. I am happy with it. Got it from Roger at 928's R US. Currently they cost more than a new baby but worth every penny.

Hey, I'm seven years older...I've been a good influence on him!

He is already trying to get me to the Glen in October. Doubt I'll have the car ready for that by then, but who knows.

I won't have any pics worth posting until early June, as the car is being stored and I am on vacation.

The interior is all black, and in remarkably good shape given the age and mileage. There are cracks in the dash and pod though.

Good word for it...bliss. Driving a 5-speed 928 is blissful. Blew me away the first time I drove one on a winding rural mountain road.
