Just to put one more thing to rest....
the previous owner of the car was the owner/inventor of the porsche "magbra" that have been selling for porsches since (I believe) 1980.... the guy is really of the "mad-scientist" but "hip" kind of mold. Alot of fun to talk to and hang out with. I just wanted to make sure with him I could post that before I actually did....b/c some of you might know him... (so, not really a big "secret" - but that concludes this thread....I think!) :) ps: he shuns the new clear plastic people are putting on their cars ...saying they are too expensive, and while good for protecting from road "grime"....not good at all for protecting against rocks....his words...and he has tests to show it....however this is a moot issue since he has stopped the magbra company just bc he did not have the time to continue it. |
I've met him before at the Office Depot store near my house. He's a very, very nice guy. He had a Doberman sitting in the passenger seat of his 993 and saw me checking his car out. The car looked to be a a decent daily driver that was in nowhere near the sad shape of the car Andreas and I saw up in Jersey. As it turns out, a friend of mine was recently hired by him to be the company's new either CEO or CFO (can't recall which one).
BTW, I didn't have the heart to tell him that I had Chuck Moreland's Elephant Racing Track Skin magnetic "bra" on my car. |

On the surface, we think they are lucky or foolish risk takers. In fact, they have spent years doing their due diligence, and pounce on known value when they see it.

By the way, I was just in Trinidad a few months ago for 5 nights for a wedding (the wedding was in Tobago) - I thought of you. I didn't see any 911's while there but I did see lots of happy, smiling people. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...c6de1758b5.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...a9269714f8.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...10272469ac.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...c492ffb2bd.jpg |

Anyways I was in Trini a few weeks ago for Carnival, and have been going back yearly since the kids r now older. But I haven't been to Tobago since '77. Wifey spent a week there 2 years ago, loves it, so we will try and fit it in next year. Two very different islands in so many ways. We do have a few friends on the island who own guest homes. Thanks for sharing the photos. BTW, what hotel was that at? |

As far as Trinidad, I stayed at the sumptuous Hilton for free on points for 1 night (incredible place) and 4 nights at the Magdalena in Tobago since I was in the wedding and had to be there that long. It was ultra boring in Tobago, as a single guy, 4 days at a beach resort was torture and the resort wasn't that nice even though it looked amazing in the pics. Internet was awful there as well. We have it so good in the good ole USA. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...86eaa366d0.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...79e7ddcbe3.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...f47039789b.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...494f551792.jpg View from my hotel balcony in Trinidad https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...4b268a8c33.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...686ffcee8c.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...b604b85170.jpg BP!!!
