Hi all..

Just wanted to let you know that I have resurrected my http://www.993faq.com site.

I've taken a 10 year hiatus from the porsche world and am excited to have some time to be back.

Jeff

Jeff-- Welcome back.

On your current home screen, there's a 2006 post mentioning that photos of your 993 were published in RLer Adrian Streather's 993 book.

Nice! Still enjoying your Turbo?

Sold my car a while back. Still miss it though.

Did so much work on the car and it was so much fun.

Here's a link to a photo album of the car...

993 Turbo

Last I heard, the car was on the east coast.

Welcome back Jeff! I had your site bookmarked from way back. Glad to hear you're back on it.

So, are you planning to join the family again?
