My name is Luis and I am a new memeber (sort of) here. I signed up last year but just started posting. I am a Porsche addict and have been for most of (if not all) my life. When I was born, my father owned a tangerine 73 911S in San Juan Puerto Rico. I went home from the hospital in this car and this is where I beleive it all began. He helped start and was president of the PCA chapter in Puerto Rico in the mid 70's. He has since owned 16 different Porsches and currently has an 02 Gt2. I have been around these cars all of my life and purchased my 1st one (83 944) when I was 18 (12 years ago). Then came an 86 944, a 89 944s2 which we still have and have since turned into a PCA F class car although, I have never had the chance to actually race it but have done many DE's in. I lived in Mn up untill 3 years ago and moved to FL. I am still a member of the Nord Stern chapter and plan on moving back to Mn within the next couple of months. My current cars are a Polar Silver 95 993 and a Seal Gray 01 Boxster (wifes). Here are a couple of pics.
Very nice forum guys!
Thanks,
Luis

Welcome Luis...where are you in FL? This Saturday I'm gathering with a bunch of guys for coffee at Border's Aventura...around 10am...if you are in South Fla...stop by and show your 993 personally...
my e-mail is pedro@importstones.com

 

Hey Luis...Welcome. With your history you were bound to end up here. Nice car collection...you both are riding high!

 

Man, I sometimes really miss Florida. I lived there for a few years and for the last year, not far at all from Aevntura. Oh, the weather, the beach, the cars...


Now I'm in Canadian hell and probably not going anywhere anytime soon.

Have a great meet.

 

Hi Alon...sorry you are not here to show your ***...I mean your car's ***!!!

 

Welcome, Luis! Nice introduction.

 

Welcome. I'm new here too. Nice wheels on the 993...

 

Welcome Luis,
Very nice cars indeed. I, like you, have loved Porsches all my life. It started in the early 60's when my dad brought home a Speedster and took me for a ride at the ripe old age of 5.
My first P car was a 1969 912, then I moved up to a 70' 914-6, which by the way I should have never sold! After the 914 I had a 73' 911T Targa then moved to a 79' 911SC which became a full race GT-3 in the early 90's. I quit racing in 99' and sold the car and spares but still had the need for speed, so I recently bought a nice one owner 95' 993 that I'm converting to RSCS spec and couldn't be happier.
Welcome again and have fun with your cars and this forum.

Nice looking cars.....yeah, cool wheels.

 

Gentelmen,
Thanks for the warm welcome!
Pedro,
I live in by Clearwater beach so its every bit of 3.5 hours down there (in the 993 of course)
I have friends on that coast however and will give you a heads up when I plan to head that way.
Zombie,
Nice P-car story for you as well! I will hopefully be converting my 993 to an RS spec car.
Fister,
Looks like our cars are identical. My interior is completely blue though.
I look forward to chatting/contributing in this forum in the future.
Thanks again.
Luis

 

Hey Luis
Great story, nice cars! Welcome to the group, it's by far the best, well informed bunch of 993 owners anywhere. I'm in Fort Lauderdale Florida. Chris

 

Welcome aboard Luis and that is a nice way to get hooked !

Any pics of Dad's GT2?
