Hello and Thanks!
I want to thank all of the rennlist members who's posts I have studied for some time as I searched for the right Porsche.
Based on your posts I started talking with Tim Holt of Holt Motorsports. Based on your recommendations, I contacted Bill Daugherty for my PPI. Last Friday I flew to Philadelphia from Columbia, South Carolina and picked up my 1996 C4 from Tim Holt. The PPI and purchase processes went great.
Due to the experiences many of you documented on this forum I got in and drove the 600+ miles along the Appalachian Mountains back home. Despite too many mini-vans in the left lane it was an amazing experience I will not forget.
I look forward to being a member of the Rennlist community.

Hey congrats on your new ride, looks beautiful! That ride along the Appalaichain mountains is awesome, I did it years ago in an RX7. Very fun but no respect for the left lane 'rule'.
Enjoy it! Do you have your detailing starter kit yet for your first wash at home?

Stunning pics and a great story! Glad it all worked out for you. Tim bought my 1988 911 sight unseen and made my selling experience a great one. It helped me get into a 993 faster so I was grateful for it's easy sale after owning it for 5 years.
So... after 600 miles on the twisty, curvys, you must be thinking of at least ONE mod or two! Any thoughts on that?
Congrats,

JOtter,
WELCOME to the club!
Looks like you found a beautiful example of the best (IMHO) p-car ever produced!
If you ever see an Arctic Silver C2S running around Columbia, throw up a hand... That will be me, as I am in Lugoff and spend a lot of time on the weekends in Columbia!
You'll have to ride over sometime and take a look around the Carolina Motorsports Park just north of Camden on Hwy 521... Lots of Porsche-related events there. There's a DE coming in August and another in October if you're interested.
Again... Welcome... This is an awesome on-line community!
Enjoy!

Welome, enjoy the fun that your 993 C4 will bring you and everynight logging into Rennlist to see what you may want to do next to your dream car. Isn't this a great place ;-) .....
Looks like she just rolled off the factory floor.

Not really. I am interested in learning what people have had success with especially on the older dark solid paints. I am a fan of 303 inside and P21S for the wheels. I know Holt uses Meguiars #7 to clean them up. I have used Klasse products in the past (red Boxter) with good result. I use Menzerna acrylic spray on my infiniti with good luck but have some Pinnacle Carnuba wax spray left over from the Boxter days. So with what supplies I have in hand I am headed out to make her shine.
