Default Farewell.....it's been fun.

The time has come to bid farewell as I sold my '88 951. I had this car for the last 11 years and was the cause for many emotions such ranging from frustration to nirvana. This forum has been instrumental in keeping the 951 running well...thanks to all. I'm still on the board but in the 996 section. As you can see from my handle i will always be reminded of my 951.

Glad to see you have something new that will make you happy, God knows there's much less work needed on a car NOT 20 years old.

Hey,

you're still in the family. A few years from now you'll probably find yourself buying another 951 as a track-only car!

It's a bit hard to tell but what is the color of your old car? It doesn't look standard but it looks really nice and in context, a deep 'Burgandy'!
