Enough is enough. Back to 993's, from technical tidbits to pretty pictures.

John D is a well-balanced, hard-working, friendlly, modest guy. His style should be the model for all Rennlisters to emulate.

John D & Jen, and Viken too,

I've been away a while in Uzbekistan and I don't get the chance to to log in as much as I'd like to. I log back in after a week or so and I'm playing catchup, trying to find the source of what's going on. I'm saddened to hear some of the long time members are moving on and that some are even looking for refunds. What the ....

I have always found this site to be a wealth of information and John D I particularly appreciate your sense of humour, which you have shown in some of your replies to my questions.

I hesitantly agree that the subject of the messages have changed from the time I first stated coming here with am emphasis on what mods you can do to your car to make it look more aggressive/beautifil than the technical issues. Not only that, the tone of some of the posters would preclude me, and I'm sure some of others from posting a reply or a question for that matter.

I enjoy hearing about a better wax, the virtues of 17's v 18's, Pedros ice wax, OBD II issues, DIY's etc. but I think many other issues would be better served by PM's and email or for that matter another forum.

I hope that some of the long time members who have contributed so much to make this board what it used to be, reconsider, come on guys, I'm going to need your help someday, and hey Viken, who's going to be able to tell me if some obscure brand of wheel will fit on my C2 and how much they weigh.

Kind regards to all

Mike, is it the post where John says that Viken was hand in hand with him building this website to where it is today and that he never requested anything in return? This guy Viken seems like a nice guy.

Hey, what happened to the 2 posts by ZAMRIZ? I presume they weren't censored by admin, so they must have been deleted by the poster. If so, I hope it was not because ZAMRIZ felt he couldn't or shouldn't speak his mind.

Dan, I was not aware of all the BS that has unfolded since the rumble until JoAnne kindly PMed me and told me where to look. In the interest of trying to get this place back to "normal" I pulled my two replies. I appreciate your concern, another member PMed me with sentiment similar to yours and I will definately speak my mind when I see fit, but I don't want this thread to turn into another garbage disposal candidate, especially with all that has unfolded recently.

Have a happy Mother's Day everybody.

I agree. I don't think all these threads with official goodbyes are necessary. If you're gonna leave, just leave, why announce it to the world? Can we say attention ******?

Sounds like this thread needs a photo.

Rick - I want to see the picture before you unloaded all that crap from your car.
