ScottMellor: LOL, I am moving to France cuz it is AMAZING...not cuz rennlisters can be cold....LOL. The FRENCH can be COLD! Putting a GT2 badge on a 993 GT2 would be bad.....not cuz of the badge...but cuz the 993 GT2 had a badge that said GT. LOL. When you get those bumpers I WANT PICS! Was the GT2 a narrowbody with arches? or a widebody with arches?

I am very happy with my car. And I like to mod it as well. Why the rolly eyes? Are you suggesting I dont appreciate the car? Hope not. LOL. I work 50 hours a week as a concierge and go to full time University at the University of Washington. It is really hard to pay for it, and have little time/money. But when I have extra time I drive the bitch, and when I have extra money I buy her RUF vitamins.

Hi Rich,

I just visited your site. You do cool and awesome stuff. Very impressed.

I love your avatar BTW, a pure exotic beauty (we are on a 993 board afterall). You shot that picture right? Lovely composition, any pics of your car you can share (more for the artistic look as we all know what the car looks like)?

Thanks in advance.

On second thought...maybe dont....Rich's is WAY better! I do mine for fun, he makes a living out of it. But I'm still proud of my shots, nonetheless.

Hey Adam,

I love the series of butterflies. Lovely shots.

The happiest day in my life occured in Garmisch Partenkirschen (sp?) September 1982, we were on our honey moon. Wonderful dinner there with a pianist playing Gershwin tunes. Next day we went up the gondola, had a picnic lunch in a row boat on a blue Alpine lake. 72 degrees, light breeze, pure bliss. I am as I type this. I will remember that day till I die.

I didn't think Adam was a poser - until I saw hhis collection of Dior!! You could afford a real RUF if you hadn't bought 3 million pairs of shoes!!

IMHO, a poseur is someone who wants to give the appearance of something else, in the case, a RUF. So Adam is a poseur. However, there is no doubt that he is clearly a Porsche enthusiast.

Geesh adsc4s, didn't you get the memo (below)? We're only allowed to respond with POSITIVE comments.

p.s. I think we might be swaying him from applying the Ruf badges.

as long as you are trying to RUF-it-out, i'd like to suggest this car as the one to emulate: http://www.rufautocentre.com/usedcars/car002.asp. i'd trade my left nut for that car :-)

Only positive comments huh? Wow I thought he wanted to know what we thought. Guess I was wrong. So.....

Adam, I love your RUF. The badges really complete the look.

Guys, I'm against poseurs as much as anyone, as you know... and I'm not saying he should or shouldn't put the badges on his car, that's his decision... But I would say that he does have RUF suspension, and suspension improvements are arguably as important to vehicle performance as adding horsepower. Just a thought...

For what reason would one post pictures of one's wardrobe on the Internet?
