Holy smokes! I didn't even think I particularly cared for Speedsters. That's changed! Your car is gorgeous.

Shannon-- Speedy enjoyed Christmas, thanks to your compliments. Hope yours was wonderful!

I enjoyed a RL Christmas, due to the generosity of Speedsterman (Benoit): two rare magazines featuring Speedsters.
I'll eventually post some scans & (time-consuming) translation on the "Speedster type 993 photo thread"

No envy, s'il vous plaît. After an 8 week intensive course in conversational French at the Alliance Française in Paris, 1974, I can order lunch, as long as you like raw hamburger with an egg cracked over it and a bent umbrella.

Just back from enjoyment of the Rocky Mountains. Glad to see above discussion. (Uh, Monsieurs JPP et RS Homme: "ravi?" "heureux?")

Conclusive carbon credit-- OEM: steering wheel, shifter, e-brake, & instrument gauge cluster surround; Cup-Sport: door panels.

I have Marcus Buehler's excellent handiwork to thank for the remainder: custom-made dash covers & sills.

Herr Bühler! Welcome to your new RL account. Considering all the Rennlisters who have benefited from your services, I'm flattered the two Speedster threads I began are your first personal appearance here.

How's that GT3RS? Still a 993 Speedster fan? I will post some of the extreme 964 Speedster photos you shared with me.

You may like to know: you've continually impressed those who have seen your craftmanship on my 993.

P.S. I'm no expert of advertising on Rennlist, but please ensure you are: there may be stipulations regarding RL sponsorship, if the main intent is to advertise your business for sale. I suspect others here can advise.

P.P.S. ^^ But I can probably spread the word freely, as a satisfied customer! Per RLer Carbon Marcus 964's public profile page:

Marcus Bühler's new website's kunststofftechnik-buehler.de, &

his new e-mail address is info@kunststofftechnik-buehler.de.

For those I still owe photographs: poor Marcus has yet to see any installed proof of his work, even though he sends entertaining e-mails almost every day, begging for pix. He's a great sport. He says a 993 Speedster's his ultimate, & that's from a fellow with a GT3RS!

A humorous self-portrait of the carbon fiber genius, his custom chair & helmet, & the 911 that just happens to match their CF...

Marcus-- Thanks for the PM offering more 911 Speedster photos. I just responded to your web.de account.

Speedy's first magazine feature is now out - Total 911 Issue #57 - and what a joy it was for me to do. The above sentiment is something I have now heard repeated many times over. Great car - truly inspiring.
