Default Dun-duda-da-da I'm back!

After 3 years I am back and ready to re-join the 968 community.
I have been saving my 968th post for when I purchased another 968 and now it's time to use it.
Photo's and spec's will be posted once I get my film developed at Wally-world, around 2 days time. (and yes I still use 35mm)
Well wishers welcomed

Welcome back. Looking forward to seeing the new acquisition. I have full production data now in case you are interested to know how it compares.

That's pretty funny

Good luck with the car, can't wait to see it!

Post 968!
Here they are.
The awesome photo's I took in Utah and Nevada ended up getting screwed up. (Darn you 35mm film!)
93' Cobalt/Grey
147k miles
Koni in front Blistien in the back
Lowered
B&B exhaust
Air box mod
Racing seats (OCCT'R) with 4-point harnesses
17" C2 7:65 9:55

Paint: 7
Interior: 7
Engine: 9

What a blast! I drove the car home in Cali from Denver, CO. 1,220miles and 17hours of driving. I'm so excited. All the memories of my old car came rushing back once I turned the A/C on and that 968 smell came out. Paint is fading in a couple places, but presentable. Interior needs touch up on the carpets and door sills. Engine was well maintained and all the resivoirs were replaced within the last 5 years. Don't know if it has a chip, will try to check soon.
So, who's up for a drive?

All I can say is glad you had enough smarts to edit the first post you made in this thread regarding the tree.

Actually I didn't. A moderator did.
But in retrospect I should not have posted it in the first place.

Everyone deserves a second chance dude. Welcome back.

The racing seats actually look kinda cool with the colors of the car. Are they comfortable at all? Especially for a 17-hour trip? The white graphics and cup1s look awesome IMHO... just the right amount of boy racer. Graphics would never look good on horizon blue...

Yes, the seats are very comfortable. Even more so with the 4 point harness. My hip always feels uncomfortable in "normal car seats." With the harness in I don't have any pain. Now if I can get a desk chair with the harness I could work again.

Welcome! Very nice!
You won't be putting a pizza delivery sign on this one will you?
