Default OT: Chris Harris and the RS 4.0

Thanks to the 993 forum, I'd never heard of Chris Harris before. Very entertaining stuff

He is a great writer! He used to own a 993 RS. He pretty much feels the same why I do about most Porsches.

What you never heard of Chris Harris? Being a Porsche owner that is unacceptable

Thanks for the post.

I guess you don't read Excellence magazine. Chris Harris is one of their Premier writers. He did a article about him purchasing his 4.0RS.

Guilty as charged. I guess I need to expand my horizons beyond rennlist.

Wish there was a complete online version of Excellence. evo looks like it's (mostly?) online. Anyway, I'll check the magazine stands going forward. Thanks.

Get a subscription to Excellence. It's $25 well spent.

Does it come all "dog-eared" or do they use a sleeve to mail it? (Sorry, picky.)

I'd burn my 993 to the ground to get a 4.0

FYI- Chris Harris wrote for GT Purely Porsche from 2005- 2010. Back in 06' he owned a 993 GT2. There are some of us who have been following his commentary for 7-8 years.

I would do the same except mine is a real RS so unless the 4.0 RS is going to be worth more in the future, I will have to think very hard about burning mine
