I always liked your car and thought it was one of the coolest on the list. I hope you stick around here, and I look forward to the coolness of your next car.

You guys aren't gonna throw me off the reservation are you?
Sure as Hell are!

I remember watching your videos back when I was looking at 944's, truly a good example for the rest of the breed

Good luck

Me too I bought my 951 because of your videos. I was actually looking for a 911.

Didn't know that at the time obviously. Thats 3200.00 down the drain.

I can't properly store the car and I need the money for the next project over the winter months. Your products really transformed the car. Its a shame we never really got to turn up the boost.

Well guys I might be starting an official forsale thread. Buyer just contacted and told me he might not be able to purchase it. That's life I suppose. I'm really wanting him to get the car because he won't part it but, whoever gets the car can use it for whatever they wish. I'll keep everyone updated this is a new development.

as far as s14 or s15. I wouldn't build that jap crap. Okay maybe that was a little harsh. I'm actually looking at a build thats reliable and makes real power, car won't see the light of day till next spring so no since in posting much about it yet.

On a more thread related note if this buyer falls through car is 8k OBO.

here* I'll give you guys an idea here.

I'm at a loss for words. This car has been my world for so many years. I have so much history with it. Its not even about the money as much as the memories. This car has always been reliable regardless of what setup was on it(and there have been several over the years). This last setup with Vitesse is by far the best yet. On 17psi it just pulls, and pulls, and pulls.

I'm a mixed bag of emotions. I've had several beers tonight to numb the pain and I'm trying not to think about it too much. I decided to go ahead and post this thread to seek comfort in my fellow brethren. You guys have always been there for me, and the car. Thankyou so much for everything. Its been one hellva ride.

I'll let the new owner chime in at his discretion.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Well John, with your ownership and posts over the last few years, you certainly have helped tremendously to perpetuate the 951 community and kill some bad *** cars along the way....and post them for our enjoyment

Stay strong brother!!!
