The Official Show Your Ugly Mug and Car Thread Thingamajig
 

Some of the other forums have developed some rather extensive threads sharing pictures of themselves and their cars. It's pretty neat to see both the face (or mug, in my case) behind the screenname and their respective cars.

So, your mission, if you choose to accept it is to post a picture of you and your car (come on, we all love showing a picture of our car). Ideally, it would be one picture, but if you don't have one with you and your car together (I only got one this past weekend), you can post them separately.

Come on, jump in. The water's fine!! And don't give me some excuse that you will break the camera. :cool:

Roche - That's quite the shine you got there.

Jangobox - Was that your first track day??

Bill - nice rig!

95 C4 993 - Should I be calling BS on the whole "local PCA members" thing? ;) I suspect that is Mardi Gras and I hope those beads around your neck are for others. :cool:

Very cool pictures guys!

Good to put some faces to the names.

Here's a picture of my ugly mug to add to the list....

Attachment 1213831

Hey man, my car aint WRECKED :nono: ... its under construction :thumbup:

Hahaha... Im just joshing you.

How did I get here? Dedication to Rennlist long ago. I was here in the beginning and I took some time off to deal with other hobbies (and getting married...ouch)

I was a member on the mailing list back when, Badfish502 was my email handle.

You know the post counter only goes so high, It looks like I don't have many cuz I just flipped it over :icon107: :rolleyes:

Anyway, I appreciate the kind words, I knew you were just joshin. But the car aint wrecked YET hahaha. Its in the plan to hit a K-rail eventually but not quite yet.

Okay, I'll play along. Taken in May this year somewhere in the Angeles National Forest.

Hey Toga,

What is happening? I loose weight and you loose hair?? :bigbye:

is it because of age or women? :cheers:

Me and my girlfriend at Spa Francorchamps.

What a fun weekend! :burnout:

I never keep a car long enough to have my picture taken in front of it.

:thumbup: (There is a joke there, but I'm not going to say it. :))

By the way, if I had to pick one 993 as "the" Rennlist 993, it would have to be yours--that color with that Rennlist sticker near the skirts is awesome.

I did some good racing that weekend :icon107:

Nope, That was an after work romp at the cart track in Sterling, VA. Every now and then you need a "little" speed after work to blow off some steam. I need a few mods done before the 993 is track ready. Here's a pic of the wife too.

So here is me with my Blue Meanie a couple of years ago:

It's the kinder, gentler 993 "Technical" forum. :)

Phil,
Pretty close. Mine are Kinesis k28, same size as your BBS GT. What size tires are you running?

OK , I want a Porsche racing suit. Send details please. :jumper:

225/18/40 up front, 285/18/30 in the back. Wheels are 8.5 inches in the front and 11 inches in the back. Yours? :bigbye:

Our first date ...
Could I have a more stupid grin on my face?

LOL... I got this from the factory directly. Its an official supercup suit and I have a friend that has some connections in the factory so he got me the whole set... I dont know how you can get it otherwise.

BIG-BRO with LIL-BRO (my previous black fun car).......and my "Little Brother" a few weeks ago before he left for US Army Basic Training !

Here's me at my first DE last April. The second picture of me behind the wheel of my other car. :)

Hey Paul - very cool picture. All my best to your son!

No kids for me here...

"LIL-BRO" is my Little Brother through the Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization. We got matched up when he was 11, and have been friends since !

Cool pic Jason/NightFlyer...that garage in the background looks familiar.

Is that a yellow "fire" button on your steering wheel? Where can I get one of those?

Hey Paul :cheers:

jangobox,
That's the autopilot disconnect button but I like to pretend like it's a missle fire button. Although I have to make my own sound effects when I push it, maybe that's why the captains always give me funny looks. :)

Jason, is that an ERJ? Very nice.

InTheAir,
No, it's a MD-11 but I did used to fly the ERJ at my last job. The cockpits are similar but I now I'm sitting two stories in the air rather than close to the ground on the ERJ. Now I have plenty of room to stretch out and read my car magazines on those long flights. :)

Well, that's a very nice office. :)

Phil,
Looks like we're the same all around.

Here's me and the Hippo at her maiden voyage at Sears Point:

who is still using 11's? I haven't seen them around much, other than the flights I take between Houston and Angola...chartered by World Air.

OK I found a clearer pic of me standing next to my "other" Porsche. I am the one standing next to my Horsche.

Here a couple shots of me and the toys.

They look like fun, 95 C4 993.......the cars that is, not the "wives." .... Okay, the "wives", too. :)

Rich,

Yes it is! It was last years Porsche Club GB Festival. We were attempting to break the record for the number of Porsches driving round a track. I was looking a bit rough as I had been up until 3am talking Porsches and the record attempt meant I had to be on the track by 7am. I think beer was involved the previous night as well....

.........and me somewhere out in the desert.. I think I was rolling south of vegas.. lots to think about on those roads..

Can 997 owners play too? Me in NC picking up my car. This is of course before last week's uh "modifications".

Well, because I am usually driving my car, I can't quite take my own picture (although I did see that one of the reflection.....very cool). So here's what I have, its a recent pic of our newly organized local PCA group. I am the one at the bottom right (red arrow) and as an added feature, we also have our own Rob's (AC993C2) parents (blue arrows) who brought there new (to them) GT3 along for the ride prior to this pic

Sure, you can play in our reindeer games. :)

...now off to the 997 forum to find out what "modifications" you've done.

My favorite 993 setting: a couple thousand miles from home, plenty of bugs on the front end, picture taken by my daughter, just before we went swimming in that lake - Glacier Park, Montana. :burnout:
http://forums.rennlist.com/upload/glacierpk993t.jpg

Havent been up to Glacier since a took a roadtrip with a buddy after we graduated high school. We stayed at the Goat Lick Lodge a couple of nights and tented it a few others. I will never forget wading in lake while going back to our camp and my buddy tossed over a big old dead carp by me and said "throw it on your hook and lets eat it" as a joke. I was goign to put it on my hook and then had the idea to throw it back to him while he wasnt looking. Well, from the moment it launched I new it was going to hit him and it did smack across the back of the shoulders-dead on hit. Sweltering smack of a dead bloated carp, blinded and hit from behind. It doesnt get any better than that. To top it off, dozens of people on the shore who saw it all. He verbally freaked and threw some rocks at me and finally cooled off a few hours later. It was a Halmark moment!

Great place!!

It's a kindler & gentler Rennlist these days. :rolleyes:

They're prob just annoyed they don't live in Switzerland.. What a beautiful country... Next 911 I buy new I'm breaking it in on Swiss roads then to the autobahn...

Here I am "judging" a concours at our region's new member party. Yes, I am, in fact, an Asian guy and am, therefore, allowed to make politically incorrect jokes about Asians without fear of reprisals. :)

Well here is one of me doing what I like best...being behind the wheel :thumbup:

1) I need more pictures of me with my car... I pretty much have none
2) We need more girls on this board

I can't take the honesty of this thread anymore... I admit it.. that's me on the left. ;)

Well I had to really dig to find a picture with me in it as I'm usually behind the camera. I'm the guy in the middle and my Dad is on the right. The guy on the left is trying to sell us a very nice older 911. This was a year or so ago as I was looking into all of my p-car options. Second pic is my youngest. Great thread and nice to see what some of you look like.

My wife took the picture... not much car in the shot.

Here is one of my favorites- me, my wife and my mistress all together on our wedding day. Hell- even the Rennlist sticker showed up for this one!

Your wife didn't mind you slapping a Rennlist sticker on her?

Now that is a great pic :thumbup:

Good thread... great people... awesome cars.

The best part was that our photographer saw my car in the driveway and suggested we use it in some of our wedding photos. All of a sudden, all the money I spent for pictures became worth it ;)

CP, Thanks for the kind words. Faster

Great pictures.

Here's mine:

I could find no pictures with the 993.

Here is one with the wife and the other car in beautiful Lake Tahoe.

Awesome "other" car!

My "other" car is a boring 2005 Explorer Eddie Bauer (at least until the end of the year). ;)

That's me on the right ... brother Pete 2nd from left with Monty and John in Alaska back on August 1 ..

Just came across this thread.....very interesting to see the owners for a change rather than the cars...I dont have any pics of me and car nor of other half and car - she doesnt like cars anyway so would not see why she should be photographed in front of one.

Tks CP.. these were taken a couple years ago casually by a friend at his house. These are the only pics I have on my desktop here at work. My friend ( www.tedmebane.com ) does decent; what a fun job he has. :p

So many views...we need more pics.. :p

Last two I'm posting before I get flamed. :icon107:

Big T,

Nice pics of you and your family... thanks for sharing. The 993 is looking HAWT too. How do you like the new Turbo S tail?

Hi Tony, thanks...

Well, I know some folks here wont agree with me, but the TS tail really really transforms the appearance of the car. It gives it the 'I'd hit it factor' sexy look..lol...now all I need is more power.. :p Oh..it was one of the first mods my wife insisted on doing..her take on it was ..a porsche is not a porsche without a tail :icon107:

Here are my other three love's. I hope she does not read this because she thinks she is the only one. I am standing on the boat.

I'm the guy on the left.

Hey Irie, just 5 posts? Never seen you before, welcome to the board! Beautiful 993 you have, family too :cheers:

Jeff ... thanks. The annual fishing trip (this was year 10) is as anticipated and relished as the annual trip in the 993.

Rick

Thanks Pcar. Lurked for a couple months bought my car in April with lots of mods. You guys are far more knowledgeable about these beauties so I've felt more comfortable just listening in.

Nice car....selling the wheels... :D ..just kidding...

Welcome sir..post more pics....

Thanks TRINITONY I love my wheels but might part with them next year. The wife has imposed a 1 year ban on mods.

Do like some of us, order parts and have it shipped elsewhere...that's what I've read...have never done it though :D

IRIE,
I know some folks in the MD area and could arrange to have your wheels "disappear" and shipped to Dallas. It wouldn't be a mod if you had to replace them because they "went missing" :eek:

Just let me know if I can be of assistance. Always ready to help out a fellow RL'r. :D

Trinitony and Irie,

I hope to see you at the next Rennlist meet and drive. Andreas was supposed to set it up for this fall but AOW went AWOL.

If you get a chance, come by the Summit Point club race October 6, 7, 8. Oct 6 is practice and fun races, I believe, while, Oct 7 and 8 are warm-up, qualifying and either sprint or enduro races on Sat or Sun, respectively. It's blast, and you'll get to see some really cool machines.

AWOL = Mark & office.


Today is August 31, 2006. :confused:

Andreas

August 8 :D ..ok..

I've seen you on the track...back in March I think it was...nice sounding muffler you got there :cheers: ..been to SP a few times, even round the track as a a passenger..most fun you can have going sideways....

LOL. My business partner got busted by his wife doing just that, he had parts delivered to our place of business.

Hey, where are the pictures??? ;)

nice thread and nice people ...
where the hell i have a picture to post here too !!

Ok Greg, when are we going to see your mug shot??? :)

My first post on this thread didn't really show my mug very well. I tend to avoid cameras. But found one from March with my oldest. And since there was a fishing theme going for a while, I've got a couple to show you the great fishing in central IL.

wow a return to civiltiy
 

I like this thread very much-like in the old days when people cared about each other here. I have to post a pic of my car at Arlings shop-good job folks
maybe I will return in the atmosphere of friendship. Keep it up looks like the new

Adrianne,

What belly? :confused: :confused: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

CP

omg..you're dancer..I thought folks were playing..

Nice looking costumes, I actually designed and made similar costumes like those for the past 10 years but have since retired..

Wow, those are great costumes! I bet your daughter loved that!! I've been bellydancing about 3 years, just for fun and stress relief. You have a beautiful family, by the way.

Max, those are the first generation of Fabspeed MaxFlow's. BTW, I tried that beer once in Montreal and can't stop drinking it. I love German/Holland/Czec beers but for some reason always have to have a LB in the fridge.

Adrienne, it's pretty easy to tell it's me, always a beer in the hand and smokes in the pocket, not to mention the extra hairy legs....

BTW, here is a picture of me and my one and only.

George

Yaaaaauza... She is a beauty. In 12 years or so, there will be a many star-crossed teenage boys in Plano.

CP

Thanks CP!!!! I'm kind of partial. I only hope it's at least 12 years, she's growing up so fast. She already has an agent, been on the cover of Dallas Child Magazine, and now just finished five episodes of Barney (I hate Barney). She has the attitude to go along with it. I actually feel sorry for the boys.

George

Only if I can give YOU a spankin' this time insteadof Steve...

Can't be there this year. Right now we are on the way to Snowmass,CO. for a concours on Wedensday and then another one in Steamboat Springs on Saturday. Next year I promise we'll be there.......

TAKE PICTURES Okay?

JoAnne

I don't own any Porsches, but here are some pics of me in my Rufs . . .

George,

Great pics of you and your 993 and even a better pic of you and your one and only :thumbup: Hope to see you again soon.

First day home.
 

Hello to everyone,
This is my first post and I thought it would be the right thread to post to. This is my baby that my wife bought me a couple of months ago. I had dreamed of owning a 911 since we first married and we finally did it. Last December I was diagnosed with Leukemia and I told my wife that if I made it through I was going to buy one. Well, I made it (minus 60 pounds and my hair, which is now back! Both...) and I love it. The photo of me and the car were taken a couple of weeks after getting out of the hospital. My wife actually had to test drive the car, I didn't have the strength to push in the clutch and she drove it for a couple of weeks before I could have the pleasure! She loves the car and doesn't mind taking it out to meet the girls for lunch. My 4 year old daughter calls it the race car.

Ed.

Hello Ed, welcome to the club.

Welcome to RL.

Good for you re beating the cancer. You realize then how precious life is and how many projects are undone or unfinished. Life is good :)

Welcome Ed and congratulations. I've had one sister who was not as fortunate and another who was.

Ed,

A big hello and welcome. Wow, what an entrance.

You have a great car, a greater wife, and a greatest daughter. :thumbup: :thumbup:

I almost get killed in a car accident last year, so yes, given a second chance, life is specially sweet.

Enjoy every moment in great health.

CP

Ed ... welcome. I'm printing a copy of your message to give to a friend of mine named Mark who is battling bladder cancer at the moment. He is a racquetball buddy of mine who also is the owner of a very nice yellow Boxster ... You're an inspiration.

Rick

Hey Ed, great first post. Welcome to RL!

Welcome Ed! It's nice to hear a great ending to a story like that.
All the best to you and have fun with the new car! Chris

Welcome, Ed. :)

Thanks for sharing, Ed. Glad you bought your dream car and that you're here to enjoy it. :)

Ed, great come back and congrats on many accounts!! Great stuff!

Welcome Ed!!!

Hi all,

Very interesting to attach faces to names.
I had zero pics of myself with the car until this weekend,
so here's my ugly mug submission. :)

My daughter, Liesl, and I taken at the beach yesterday:

Ed,

Welcome and congrats!

Ed,

Wonderful story....you ARE truly an inspiration.

Jeff,

Holy smokes, I'm very sorry to hear about your family. Speechless.

Dave

Thanks Tony. We need to get together one day at the track (on a member day) with the families. I should have my new space out there by then.

George

Hey OG, nice to see you back!

cheeky monkeys does not even begin to tell you the full story!!!!!
My 4 year old twins, Phoebe and Oliver.....taken today....first day at school in their new schooliforms......Charlie and Lola fans will know what i'm on about.
Took them to school in the 993 with the top down :thumbup:.....it's only half a mile away but it just had to be done.
Chris W.

Cute!

Welcome Ed - as my dad puts it, any day you're looking down at the sod is a good day. I'm coming up on 6 yrs from a similar experience. Of course my idea of being cured is being able to drive again. :D

Waiting for my wife to pull a particular family pic out of her camera to post.

Chris,

Now that's precious. :thumbup: :thumbup:

CP

Chris W., my kid makes me pick her up from school every Friday in the 993. She is going to be sad when I take it back to the track. She told me she liked it because of all the attention the car gets from the boys. I'm in major trouble and she's only six. I do have one requirement for her, she has to wear an AC/DC shirt.

BTW, here is a photo from her latest photo shoot.

George

We had "back in black" blaring out this morning when i dropped them off.....some people just don't get it........the 993 and classic rock just fit together.......although anything with a good guitar riff for me and i'm off down the road like a bat out of hell....... although i must draw the line at meat loaf.

loud and proud - chris W.

George - BTW - your little one looks like a movie star in the making....my 2 think they are rock stars already......and Jedi knights.....the karate kid.....footballers....golfers....etc.etc.....and so do i!!!

Chris W.

Ahhhh...she is so cute George!! And a 993 fan too? I like her!!

Chis, AC/DC is a must in that car. Luckily, she loves them. I swear she knew the words to TNT by the time she 2 years old. She even has a hand in the air doing the "horned hand".

Sounds like your twins are going through the same thing as mine, isn't it great. I'm having more fun that I thought I would. Now if she would only be interested in racing.......

George

Thanks Adrienne. As much as she loves my car, she wants a VW Bug, a green convertible to be precise. She started talking to me the other day about how I learned to drive/race and would I teach her. Right away my eyes lit up and I started talking about getting her a go kart and taking her out to the track. We talked for about thirty minutes and then my wife came in and ruined it all. She asked her why she wanted to learn to drive and her response was "well I'm a girl and racing is for boys, I just want to learn to drive so that I can drive to the mall and go shopping." Needless to say, I was a little heartbroken.

George

Well, there is a glimmer of hope. Maybe you should bring her to the track and introduce her to all the women drivers. Maybe then she'll see it's not just for boys. I had a green beetle before my 993. I can relate.

Chris - they are dahhhhlings! And arriving the first day to school in a 993, wow!!

Thanks Adrienne - cant imagine life without them.......i meant the kids also not just the car :thumbup: ......it helps that i'm a big kid at heart too :evilgrin:

Chris W.

Motorhead works well, too.

Ed (Eharrison),

Welcome and Congrats on the 911 and your story. Enjoy in great health.

I was just listening to Black Dog this morning on my way to work. I find that Social Distortion always works as well! :evilgrin:

Oh yeah, does my avatar count as a pic for this thread? That is my youngest in the back seat of my cab, laughing like crazy as I take pics of her with one hand without looking while driving (and looking where I drive).

Motorhead.......now your talking :D
I suggest the new album from Wolfmother if you like old style rock....it's new but old style....

Chris W.

Wolfmother
 

Chris that's eerie, 30 minutes ago I was jamming to Wolfmother in my 996....sweet.

you know it makes sense.......turn it up to 11....as Spinal Tap would say!!!!

Where are the stinkin' pictures you Chatty-Cathy's? :)

Chatty Cathy?? Cripes, Jeff, I didn't know you were that old! You drive around wearing your Davey Crockett coon skin cap? :D

Hi,
Pic below of me and my baby with Fabian Coulthard (cousin of David), Australasian Carrera Cup champion, and his car. Taken at Pukekohe race track during a driver training day. Got a couple of full-on fast laps with him in the GT3 at the end of the day. Memorable, very memorable!!

Cool pic, Tania!

Cool Avatar too,Tania.

Tony, Your Avatar is nice also.

Thank you. Steve (ca993twin) took the shot with his super duper fast lense.

Welcome Tania, great intro - nice car too.

I love this thread! So many people show up that we don't hear to much about in the 993 forum. Really a great thread! Thanks to all of you for sharing those pics.

Cheers

Thanks for the kind words all. I joined these forums a long time ago, but can't understand why I let my interest lapse.
There is invaluable information here, and a lot of great "car people". Even tucked away in our little corner of the world it is great to be part of such a "family".
I really love my car and that is seen as a bit weird by many of my friends. Good to see there are plenty of fellow weirdos here!!

Howdy, fellow weirdo!! I can sympathize!!

I was thinking the same thing. Funny how many people :come out of the woodwork" when you give them something in their comfort zone. Been very cool to put faces with names.

Getting this thread back on what is a very fun topic:

That's dirty.

the mind races, but I'm not going there.

My apologies to you Jeff that your thread got so out of whack.

Hey, I've seen my fair share of "holes" thank you very much.

Including this one that was made with the second stage of a Titan Missile motor (somewhere in the neighborhood of Fourty-thooousand pounds of high explosives) in the Utah desert.

Boom BABY! We were three miles away and it still knocked my hat off.
And I know the photo is crappy but that hole is about 120 foot across.
damn I miss my old job.

hello fellow rennlisters I thought this was a good thread. So rather than blow it up or have it self implode I'd post. Wasn't this about people and porsches. esp 993's. Mother superior has got me all freaked out and leland good to see you post. That speedo pic. Dude that's sick. I have excepted the fact that my car will never see that speed. I wish I had an autobahn. So here it is my first de and my sisters little girl courtny. enjoy. And.. Oh yea my 993. :thumbup:

In the spirit of continuing to get this thread back on track, some more pics.

The first two are off my C4 and it's big brother C4S owned by a buddy of mine. Neat story in that he sold my C4 (on left) to buy this S which is the same color, same interior, etc. It has been neat to learn about all he did to the car and the history over our PCA dinners. Our first pics together.

The last one is of all my kids. Both my girls and both GSDs on a nice sunny October day.

Me after 30 hour drive to pick up new toy.

Holy Mooly, Tim.....and I ain't talkin' about you. :) That RSR looks like a blast!

Wow, that is an awesome ride Tim. That takes my idea of picking up a dedicated track car to a new level. :bowdown: What is the history on the car? Congrats. :cheers:

Olav, your friend Balboni is a fine driver and great guy, those Lambo cars he is in charge of testing just don't go fast! Remind him of a silver 993TT (see my avatar) who beat him on the Bahrain F1 track by a few seconds a few months back ;)

Everyone has an off day once-in-a-while

;)

Jean, you crack me up...


:D
When you drive Lambos everyday, do you remember the good days, or the off-days?

I could be wrong, but if your driving a Lambo...and your not in the ditch, in the wall, or against another car....it would have to be a good day... :thumbup:

Hey Adrienne, me too.. :) Still got mine though.. One of my ugly mug, too.

Ahhh...that's an old one, too. 6 volt or 12? My dad has a '65. It's a real conversation piece on the road and at the gas station.

Wow, that bug is in great shape. :thumbup:

Heh, thanks :D

It's a bit of a cheat - a '64 body on a later chassis. Everything 12v.. I built it myself from a bare shell. Didn't paint it, but did everything else. Wish I had a workshop now so I could do some work on the 911 - miss playing with the spanners ;)

My sister used it for her wedding, too...

Those girls from Vegas are okay but your wife is stunning. Obviously she's from Montreal, one of the world's top cities for beautiful women. After my first visit to Montreal for F1 back when I was single, I almost moved there after getting neck sprain from looking at all the hot women walking around. Lucky you.

you got it man. I was in vancouver from the 12th-16th, last week....and was so dissapointed with the women....(nothing wrong with looking).

below are family (spouse, kids, pooch and self) and P-car. No combo shots.

Better late than never.
 

I miss all of you guys in this board! the best camaraderie and of course the best threads!! Just like OG says.. more personal. :cool:

Here's some pix with my sorely missed 97 Carrera, and the 02 Ylw Carrera(missed), and the 06 Carrera S. Also with the wife in ealry spring of 09 during a Fun Drive at Colonial Park Drive, Yorktown, VA

Mike,

The SY is looking very tough with the black rims. I don't remember it last time I saw pics of your car... vey nice.

Thanks Tony! Love your awesome avatar!

Mike, you're still welcome here. :)

Jeff - the pic of my car posted above is the first pic I've posted post PSS9 conversion (using your excellent DIY)

Doug, it looks great......the way these cars are suppose to look!

Friends don't let friends drive SUV 911's.

Jeff, Thanks!!! 993 bubbas are always the warmest to have porsche talk with!!

Mike,

You car looks bad-ass! Love the black rims.

PM forthcoming wrt Ranie. Very, very nice people.

Hey Mark!! Thanks bro! I did the rims myself. I chickened out :( on getting them powder coated, so I just seperated the center pieces from the rims and had them painted :)
PM: R U still talking with Ranie? If you are, pls tell him to email us.. carrera_mike@yahoo.com

hey carerra mike nice to finally see you & the cars... still remember when you did the white carrera splitter 'diy' way back when. :cheers: fwiw: miss not seein' you 'round these parts. please cont. to visit/post. like mark... i dig the black wheels too!

All right - who started this craziness anyway? :thumbup:

Me and my fifth kid in red at Mosport...

And my brood (4 of them) which I'll never fit entirely in the car - but I can get three in - which means I'll never be able to fit in a rollcage :banghead:

Awesome bunch...

Guilty. :typing:

Great looking bunch of kids!!

What kind of bmw is that with the cage and all track ready? I've often thought an M-coupe would make a great track car.

There's a very very nice story behind that photo. I'd been to a couple of PCA DE events, but, to be honest, I don't feel like I fit in with the crowd that shows up there - I mean with their totally tricked out track cars, spending oodles of cash (I'm just not in that bracket :) ). So, I was invited to join the BMW Car Club here in Ontario, and I signed up for the BMW Hospitality at the ALMS race on Labour Day weekend at Mosport. As part of the hospitality, BMW (and more specifically the chief instructor for the club) took us for a tour of some BMW race teams. One of those teams was BimmerWorld (http://www.bimmerworldracing.com/data/index.html). My daughter told me that she wanted to be a race car driver - and while talking with Seth Thomas (one of the drivers) we told him she wanted to drive racecars. So Seth proceeded to ask Olivia if she wanted a complete detailed tour of his race-car, which he so generously did. Another car club member took the photo that you see, and told me that he would send me a copy via e-mail. The next day, however, we were late arriving at Mosport and missed the race for Seth and BimmerWorld. But the car club member tracked Olivia and me down, and gave Olivia her own copy of the photo, signed by Seth Thomas which says "To Olivia, the best future driver. All the best." - Olivia was beside herself - and it was then that I found I had to go to the BMW DE event - the people were outstanding. The BMW club, by the way, makes no stipulation on the type of car you can bring to events or that you must own - I owned only a VW and a 993 (although now I have an '88 M6), yet they welcomed me with open arms. (In fact, one guy showed up in a rented Golf - for his sake he's lucky he didn't wreck it!!) Very cool...

Hey that's a neat story.

But those are some good looking kids.
My daughter is just 3 months old. I hope when she grows up we will do stuff together.

This Thread is awsome.

TKS Jeff for getting it started.

Enrico, Great looking car and family. :thumbup:

Seth Thomas is a member of Rennlist and I have read several of his posts over the past several months on the Racing forum althogh I cannot remember his screen name. He seems to be a very likeable and helpful guy from his posts and your story certainly proves this. I believe he mentioned in his posts that he owns a GT3 and from what I remember his comments were extremely positive on his GT3 which is really saying something considering the fact that he professionally races BMWs!!!

My GSD and Me
 

Here is my old GSD sniffing the key to the 993

http://forums.rennlist.com/upload/zena_and_me.jpg

Thanks man!! Now that I'm back from the 7 month deployment, I will surely bee snooping around again :)

Really? Would be nice to know his screen - perhaps I'll do a search. Thanks DreamCarrera - you know he really is a good guy - as is his driving partner James Clay. Yes, we talked about 996's and he said that the GT3 was an absolutely outstanding car. The week after I spoke with him, I saw James at the BMW DE at Mosport, and he told me that he got to drive Seth's GT3 at - hmmm, I believe Road America - and he said it was an incredible drive. Nice bunch...

Beautiful dog - how old is he?

And awesome car with an awesome view :)

Thanks neunneundrei,

Actually, she was a female about 11 years old in that picture. We had to put her down about a year ago. A tough decision but it was always in her best interest. She was quite a dog. NOBODY would mess with my wife with Zena on duty.

Here are a couple of more:

I wish I could get her ears to stand up!

Here are some ears and less grey when she was young:

Seth's user name is "Seth Thomas".

Bruce, she's gorgeous. It always is a tough decision - having to put our toy poodle down this year was one of the hardest things I had to do. All of our kids and my nieces had his name as their first word. So we went totaly nuts - we went from an 11 pound toy, to a 95 lb Great Pyrenees! She's wonderful - great family dog. GSD's are great - but the breeders here are a dime-a-dozen and getting one which is not radically trained and can be put with babies and toddlers was a bit of a gamble. Enjoy the memories my friend.

:roflmao: :roflmao:

Thanks man!

I don't have one with the 993.

This one is not mine - it's an Intermeccanica Roadster (Conv D replica), me and my wife, taken at the IM factory in 2003.

http://www.bruceclement.com/porsche/images/IM100.jpg

Bruce, I look at those replicas and they just bring me back to a different age - very nice. Nice to see your wife enjoying the autos as well :jumper:

Now, your Avatar shows you holding what looks like a Goldtop Les Paul - have fun on the side? Great guitar... :rockon:

Carrera Mike welcome back... thank you for your service :thumbup:

Hey Mike,

Where did you get that splitter?

It seems that I'm always the one with camera in hand - so shall remain invisible like Wilson in 'Tim the tool man' :p - but here is my other half hiding in shadows on a wharf in Chester Basin 2-3 weeks ago( Atlantic side) ..... and a month or so earlier, our boyz .... German wirehared pointers Shi and Jaxx.
They love driving too .... but in the F150!

That's a gorgeous C4S Garth - great pic :thumbup:

Nice dogs and a great breed - what, you don't put them in the p-car? I've had my 70lb all-white Great Pyrenees in the p-car - it's a great site and I even had one guy come up to me at a BMW DE and asked me if I ever drove the car around with a white dog in it :evilgrin:

Not a big fan of including myself in my car pix or of the dorky poses favored by photographers! But, at least I have a shot to include!

Lookin' good Billy Ray.

Hey, VNTGSPD, now that's a car # :thumbup:

Yeah, I get a fair amount of crap for that number. :D It's a bit more fitting on my '69 T though -

Thought I'd resurrect this thread from the grave - Christmas is about the resurrection, isn't it? (Joke. Joke.)

Thanks to my long-suffering girlfriend for taking this shot without my permission... DAMN the interior's red! :evilgrin:

Merry Xmas everyone! I'm off to sun myself in Linda Havana... not sure if I'm hoping for a revolution while I'm there or not... where's the popcorn? Viva Fidel! :D

Julian

enjoy the holiday. Viva "red interior"!! :cheers:

As a great 80s movie once said: "As you wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish...."

Sorry, they're old photos - from the day that her and me first 'got together'...

Princess Bride? Great flick!!!

Very cool interior. I would guess it keeps you alert :)
Have a great holiday.

Wow. That is one very pretty interior. Congrats.

You should have seen it when it had the custom Can-Can red leather matts... that was just WAY too much red. Even the "Turbo" script was in a shade of orange. Now nicely hidden beneath the black mats.

I have to say, I now like my car interiors like my steaks - the bloodier the better!

Actually; Easter. (-%

tino

What a stellar interior - nice :thumbsup:

I've got to say, this is hands down the nicest 993 interior I've seen. I can't seem to take my eyes off it. I love the red with the CF and black accents. The black mats look great. You are one lucky guy.

Best 993 interior ever!

We need a new rule--post text only when accompanied with another face shot. :D :D

Jeff. you just broke your own rule.

This is a snapshot of my son and I with his '87 944...

SON...you guys look like brothers.... :thumbsup:

I know. I thought that right after I posted. :D

Not a Porsche, but it is air-cooled!

Great pic Jeff. I love the shot of the tail through the back window.

So Jeff - what's the "Patent Pending" in your ID block?

That red interior on Urban's car is awesome. Is it difficult to keep clean?

:) It's indicative of my profession. ;)

Although this picture isn't related to said profession--I'm just trying to post a picture with each post. :D
