Same to you, Jäger! BTW, I wonder how much more it cost to have the interior 'de-checked' ...

Other than RLer verhag (Denny) proudly owning your 993 C4S, what's new - think you were eyeing a 993TT or 997S?

Your son Aaron progressing on the family's 356 restoration?

Starting to download my photos from last month's New York International Auto Show, where "Speedy" was a guest in the LeMay Museum's exhibit.

In the meantime: found this web photo of press day, before doors opened to the public...

The best thing about having my 993 in the nation's oldest car show (>100 years), with >1 million fans in attendance, was meeting the incredible RLers that were there, & at the following weekend's Hershey, PA swap meet

For more of great RLers' NYIAS photography, check out Steve 96C4S' "Pics of cars at the NYC Auto show" thread.

Very true, Marc!

thanks for the concern...makes me feel like i'm still part of the group. i still check rennlist regularly, just hardly post...i miss my car.

The 356 restoration is SLOWLY coming along. after removing the interior, we found some rust under the passenger seat. good and bad...good is they are original flloor pans and longitudinals...bad = the floor pan needs replaced. working on another engine i bought a while back...it will be a little more HP than the original super 1600.

i bought my company back in december 2010 so i have been totally engrossed in that. still searching for a car. i thought i wanted a newer turbo or gt3 but i just cant seem to shake the 993. who knows...hopefully i'll be back in the fold soon.

thanks for the kind words.
