Certainly the 993 was the most capable and I do remember that my 1985 had pretty crude AC and heating for example, but was an absolute delight to drive and sounded the best. GLWS - if i had the space and you were in the US - I would be extremely tempted - especially for the nostalgia. Its a great car!
Thank you, it really is a fantastic driver.

I have to say that although nowhere near the power level of the 991/996, it is really satisfying to work through the gears and manual rack.

I will be sad to see it go.

So once I have gotten everything together for BAT, I plan on focusing on the 991 - I think I am going to pull the unit out and attach a USB to it for one, and two, I am going to get the software working correctly on my laptop.

It is truly remarkable what removing beer and instituting ongoing exercise will do for a person.

Thank you Sir.

I sure do; I manage anywhere between 5 and 10 miles a day over a variety of activities from walking, elliptical, weights and jogging.

It was really interesting how it got away from me too - I got a promotion 8 years ago and was firmly planted in front of a desk versus spending a whole bunch of time in the field, like I had done the previous 12+ yeas since I got out of school. As we get on in age, it appears to me that unless you are making a concerted effort to be active, it can really sneak up on you if you aren't careful.

Cheers,

I feel like that a little bit right now. I need to lose 15 pounds. It started about 5.5 years ago with all the increased work / travelling etc., its snuck up on me. Plus Covid - hasn't helped .

Yes, sir, it can.
Congrats for making it happen.
I recently got back to hitting the weights after nearly two years off and eating much, much better and I'm feeling pretty great, as well.

Changed the Chrono face a couple nights ago. Took a long 350 mile drive through the canyons and state routes today and christened the Porsche.

Had a good chat and assumed it would cut me a break. Nope, ticket. Civil offence, so can take a class and have no record of it.

Loved the route between Bagdad and Prescott. Then continued down 89 to PHX.
