Default Another new owner introduction – me and the speedy yellow…

First of all, my name is Adrian from the Bay Area (NorCal). I thought I’d post up a formal introduction here. About a week or so ago I became a 993 C4S owner (not a RL member yet…soon to be). After few months of searching, going back and forth, back and forth with this car and a plethora of questions here and the other forums I found the “ONE”. I am really EXCITED!

I’m sure you wanted to know more about the car, ok...now on with the car. The car is a 1997 C4S speed yellow with grey interior, carbon fiber package, euro spec. lowered suspension, motorsound package, xenon headlights, aero kit II, etc., etc., w/ 58k+ miles (although, it look like a 20K miles car) very very clean. Now on with the history two previous owners, the original owner was an ex-NFL kicker (whew! glad he wasn't a linebacker ) had the car for 5 years and the last owner had the car for a little over 5 years. The PPI with leakdown and compression test was done and passed with flying colors – Leakdown 1% across cylinders and Compression 217 – 215 – 215 – 219 – 215 – 215 (I think these are good numbers). The PPI was done at Tif’s Foreign Car Care Annapolis, MD. I hope to have some pics soon.

Also, wanted to acknowledge couple of folks here – Mark in Baltimore, for checking out the car and doing his mini-PPI version “Rennlist Check” (if you will). Barry and Patrick for hooking up carfax – I know! I know!...got it for free.

Now the hard part comes, waiting for the car to get to California - I really can’t wait and counting the days. The car has been loaded in the truck on Tues. 7/24 through De Moise Trucking (so far with good experience) – Bill DeMoise great guy to deal with.

At any rate, thank you ALL and can’t wait to share my experiences with ALL of you folks.

Cheers!
-Adrian

Louis/Jeff - Thank you.

Alvin - my brutha, this is all your fault you got me into this. Now give up the steering wheel, I know it would look really nice on my car .
