Default Re-introduction and new 993

Hello everyone,

My name is Troy and I just wanted to thank the Rennlist community for the wealth of information and support. I have been more of a lurker than poster, spending most of my time in the 964 forum.

Last year a friend of mine passed away. His name was Mark, and we worked together. I am a Firefighter here on Maui, and Mark was a Paramedic in my district. I am sure he was here on Rennlist, and if anyone knows his screen name, I would love to check out some of his old posts. Mark had a beautiful 993 which he owned since the late 90's. Over the years it only accumulated 15k miles. After his death Marks wife held on to the car for a year, and was gracious enough to give me the first right of refusal when she was ready to let go. I purchased the car a couple of weeks ago, and look forward to continuing the story that Mark started.

Thanks again.

Sorry for the loss of your friend sir. The upside is he would rather you have it than anyone else. Enjoy the drive.

There is always something special about folks taking over the care of 993s after a friend or family member passes. It is like part of them lives on.

Take a look at the below link. It is a thread where members listed the last four digits of their 993s VIN. Perhaps yours is there.

I am so sorry for your lost, I bet your friend is looking down from heaven with a big smile knowing that his car is in good hands and that you can keep the dream alive. It must be a very special car for you. The best part, every time you drive it, a part of him will always be with you to remind you of your fond memories. Enjoy in good health. BTW, beautiful car.... Cheers......
