I'm interested to hear what you end up thinking about that rear wing. Regardless, that car is sexy.


The hard backs will be painted. Not sure about the yellow seat belts though. They are hard to keep clean and the kid from Ok that comes to the Palooza every year in his 993 already has a SY 993 with yellow seat belts.

The verdict is still out on the wing. I'm not liking it too much. Robert isn't saying anything yet.

Looking at the garage pic, do you have a HWFMR Le Mans Sponsorship poster? I may still have a couple... somewhere... that I could get to a teammate at appropriate turtle speed.


I'm lovin' my new Girlies too, except they aren't letting me sleep much. I still can't roll over!!!

We did sponsor that year, but I don't remember getting a poster???????? Can I get one pretty please?

Thanks Guys....


I am afraid the Pole Position seats might be too small for my big butt for long trips, and Robert's is even bigger.... oh oh.......

Are you bringing Robert and Hurley to the Fun Run on Sunday? Jo and I are going to try and make it. Glad to have another 993 in LR. Now if we can just get Murfysflaw to get another car...

Wow,......nice car!!!!!!!!!!

FWIW, Profi XL seats are wider and VERY comfy. I've added some memory foam in strategic places on mine and its good for long trips (as well as the track).

Wow- that car is a stunner. Almost making me rethink getting the smaller RS wing. Well deserved treat to you both after a trying year- enjoy in good health.

Robert's BIG SMILE is what barely fits in the car
He looks so happy, and it's easy to see why!

We are planning on it. I'm only three weeks out from my last surgery so we might not get to do the entire run as I am NOT supposed to be bouncing all over the place yet and I have a feeling Hurley will like to see me going up and down and all around!
We saw Benoit's 993 parked in front of Crush in Argenta on Monday. Maybe we can get him to go on the run too. PATRICK neeeeeds a 993!!!

Hmmmmmm........... You haven't seen me lately have you?

Good Health sounds great to me. May we ALL enjoy in good health!!!!





THANKS EVERYONE!!!!! I smile every time I drive into the garage. I even opened the door the other night to see the car before I want to bed. I'll probably do it tonight too, just to make sure it's still happy in its new home.
