Default Hello from another 993 newbie

Hi,

My name is Lon, Some of you might have seen me in the 964 forum. Well I just got my first 993 so I thought I would say hello.
I will attach some photos, but they did not come out very well, the sun was too bright this morning.

I know it has the SUV ride height, but I hope to correct that when I can save some more pennys

My first DIY on this car will be to replace the OBC bulb ( I hope it is just the bulb) next week once the bulb arrives.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi.

Welcome to the board! Great glass top on that targa - a perfect roadtrip car IMO. Very pretty color.
You're not allowed to mention the SUV height - that's our job once you've posted!!

Enjoy

Nice wheels, they do look familiar though .

We followed similar paths 964->993 Targa.

Good luck with it, this is my last week of driving it before I stash it for the winter.

Nice. How do you like the targa? Does it feel like a cab or a big sunroof? Congrats and welcome to the 993 forum.

I guess if you didn't get a cab, a targa's close enough Beautiful car and nice wheels.

Thanks to all of you.

I love the Targa, it isnt quite the open air feel of my 964 Targa, but really close. I prefer it over the removable top because just a push of button makes it much easier and you can do it while moving.

Thanks again,

Lon,

Please check your PM. I would love to talk about your car. I am moving from a 964 to a Targa if the car passes my inspection. See my new thread.

Thanks,

Patrick

Lon there are two more Rennlisters down in Lancaster. Suprisingly they both have pastel yellow 993 coupes
one is Rand and the other is a AF officer from Edwards. I am just up the road and I go to
Lancaster Palmdale to shop and get KrispKreme donuts.
I assume I will be meeting you at Willow Springs in the near future!!
