Just to add to what ilko said...

Just before World War II, Alois Ruf, Sr. formed 'AUTO RUF', a company that serviced vehicles and was situated in Pfaffenhausen, Germany. A year later, in 1940, a gas station was added. A bus company was added in 1949. The company grew into a prosperous business. Alois son, also of the same name, had a passion for servicing sports cars, mostly Porsches. After Alois Ruf Sr. passed away in 1974, Alois Jr. took ownership of the companies. Keeping true to his passion, Alois Jr. reorganized the businesses to service the Porsche 911, exclusively. The first RUF modified Porsche was introduced in 1975.

Yeah Marc, whereabouts in Alberta do you live? My guess: Calgary. I could sure use more Porsche friends close by, especially ones with nice lifts like that... Myself, I'm in Edmonton

A lot of people blur their plates because of an issue a few years back over a very nice 944Turbo local here in NJ that someone had used the license plate to find out where the car resides and then stole it. Apparently it was another rennlist member that was stealing cars from members and parting them out selling the parts back to rennlisters. So although it might not make sense to some I usually blur my plates and I try not to post pics of another members car without blurring the plates which should be a common courtesy to the owner.

What you do with your car is your own business but it is nice to respect others privacy. That is also why some people don't like to have their names mentioned. Although, I agree if a talented thief wants something they will find a way blurred plates or not, but why make it easy.

Derek/Scottie - I am in the frozen north of Grande Prairie.

Anyone is welcome to drive up and use the lift though, I don't see many 964's around these parts.
