As I bet you've experienced with your rockin' red ride, it's nice when other enthusiasts appreciate your rolling artwork.

I've always admired how you represent yours. For example, you have 1 of the best-executed user videos on RL (Shout out to ProducerJohn, too!)
I LUV your 993, & tasteful style with which you've captured it. So well done

You not only have a great 993, but a great dad; it's always cool when cars become family fun!
Perfect coincidence that you'll be in Switzerland at the same time as Treffen. Can't wait to see your pictorial
Maybe next year I'll make in person; I can only imagine - so beautiful.

Jager, I seriously don't think you can take a "bad" picture of your Speedster... hands down one of the sexiest 993's around!!! It's inspired me so much that I'm begining my search for a donar car! ;-) Colin over at NineMeister has been great in giving me a lot of guidence and feedback. It's all your fault! lol!!!!

The Fuchs look fantastic on your car... decided to pick up a set for myself. Thanks for the info on them... now the question is to put them on my 993 C4S or hold on to them for my Speedster build?!? ;-)

Can't go wrong either way!
I got your Private Messages (back at ya -- you've got mail ).

Your enthusiasm means much, especially since you already have 2 beautiful 911s: a 993 AND a 964 Speedster.
Difficult to think of anyone more ready for a 993 Speedster. Heck, we should all be asking you questions
I LUV your 964 so much, I gotta post pics
Hope you don't mind...

The 964 love continues to the cover of the current Panorama, of a friend who also owns a 993:

In good company ^^ an option on upper-tier Porsches; ~$11,000 USD for the 918 Spyder

Try posting at least 1024 pixels wide?

1024 pixels wide, but much "lower:"

David-- Beautiful: the world's only 993 'born' as a Speedster. Never sold; given to Butzi Porsche & remains in the Porsche family collection.
Can't see that video too many times.
It & more on page 4:

If he saw Jager's speedster he would be disappointed with the factory car.

Flew to CA just to take pics of them & the rollbar:
