Post Pictures of the car Schmitt did not want

Just a quick follow up to my story about Schmitt last weekend. The rain finally stopped in Knoxville and I gave my car a quick wash and vacuum. Here is a link to more photos for those who are interested.

I guess the car is "For Sale" now as I am sure I want a tiptronic. It is a great 993. Email me at browder3@bellsouth.net for more info.

That is a very nice looking car. Best of luck in your search for a new one - hope you can find one as nice. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

John, most know I had a little run in with Schitt &lt;damn I left the "m" in Schmitt out&gt;, but hey some people really are sh*t. Anyway I'm looking for a Tip too but I sense you are going to spend a little more than me, so we are not looking at the same car or anything. Anyway, I shop alot so let me know what you want etc... and I'll keep my eyes open for you too. Regards.

Again, from your photos, there seems to be not a damn thing wrong with the paint.

I really like that shade of blue.

Car looks great, John, and your home/neighborhood looks awesome. Did your garage doors come from an outfit in Wisconsin? Hect, I could'nt give away my tip when I wanted to sell - good luck with your search, you should not have any trouble selling that blue beauty,

John, it's a beautiful car -- I found myself almost more distracted by your driveway & yard, though! You lucky stiff <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

Dems pavers in the driveway. We're getting our driveway done with pavers, so the driveway will look nicer than our doublewide.

Looks heavily oxidized to me. And how did your your leather get in such a bad way?

Yeah... this thread should immediately be moved over to the "ragged-out, driven-hard, put-away-wet, over-used, abused, tired, worn-out, roughed-up, run-down, creeky, croaky, crappy, dingy, mangy, P.O.S. Porsche newsgroup."

John,
I followed the lengthy thread with Schmidt..................I think your car looks awesome and the Zenith Blue adds to it.

Cheers

How dare you try to diddle poor old Shchitt (with the lil kids) with a dodgy motor like that. You should be ashamed of yourself..... <img border="0" alt="[nono]" title="" src="graemlins/nono.gif" />



Gorgeous car...

Man, your car is a real piece of Schmitt (or not as the case may be!).

Wonderful car John.
