Hi. I joined a couple of weeks ago and have enjoyed reading the posts and replies.
I bought a 1996 speed yellow/black leather C2 last year. This car replaced a black 1990 C2 I had for 5 years. I never thought about owning a sports car until I saw the carrera at the 1996 Chicago Auto show. Ever since I've been thinking about the 993 model 911. I like to drive it recreationally and especially on the track at DE's. I feel great whenever I'm in it!
I just came back from the Porsche Driving Experience and had a great time. Being the competitive cuss I am I was wondering how I would do there (as if the would flunk me) It turned out I had as much track time as anybody there and I was the one who was pushing for more. Most of the people there with me had no track experience at all. (I did't expect that). The course was very informative, and I recomend it. Now I need to try out the Masters Course. Anybody else done that? Taking laps with Doc Bundy, David Murray, and Terry Borcheller was a thrill. "Dave, we need to go faster". OK
I always want to go faster and have some questions about mods I'll save for later to see if I can make this post work.

Welcome Jim,
There's nothing like driving a 911 at it's limits and most of us here feel the 993 is the finest 911 of all time when it comes to driving the outside of the envelope.
Have fun, keep the shiney side up......

I'd suggest 640 x 480 and 140 kb as a max. Compress a jpg or convert to gif.

Default Track picture yellow 993

Thanks, here is a track shot. I thought it would be better to cut and paste into the window directly but it did't work.
