Default Week Long Make Over

Made a few changes between last Tuesday and this Monday. Although my wife might only see color, your highly skilled eyes should pick up on some other things. Notice anything different (hint - there is more than 1 correct answer)?

Two different cars maybe...

Many, many things are different. Inside and out.

Beautiful car(s).

Congrats

2 different plates.

Most likely 2 different cars.

Both are very nice.

All are correct! The blue 84 Euro was sold last Tuesday to a rennlister ' s son whom I suspect will pop up here on the list. I was lucky enough to replace it by Saturday with the red 86.5 5spd. The car was purchased from Darien in Ft. Worth TX and proudly driven 870 miles home to Louisville. Although I really enjoyed owning the Euro, I'm very happy to have a 5 spd in my garage again. Thanks Darien - it's a great car!

Both cars look in excellent shape.

But, I prefer the blue one. (Sorry, just like the color)

Good luck with the new one though and congratulations on the 5 speed.

Brian.

I have position 3 set to point the mirrors down so I can see the kerb.

First gear in the 86.5 looks like its too far to the left - might want to adjust the rear shift coupler.

Well, she will definitely be missed. Shane had that baby well sorted and I was all in for keeping for the long haul and boosting it

That 84 Euro was good looking but what can I say, Shawn got into an 86.5 with a 5spd to boot. Definite upgrade that gave him a smile the first time he heard that exhaust and felt the Porken Chips. Enjoy it brother

You'll enjoy the new car! I had a taste of it when Darien passed through Oregon bringing the car to its new home in California. Sounds and drives great, pulls very strong with the Porken tuning. Almost made me itch for a 5-speed car.

Congrats on the upgrade!


Perhaps Darien will share some details on the replacement? Have you selected one yet? Tony let Darien drive his anniversary 911 at Spring Fling, may have started another itch.
