You got a nice little weather window there.

I'm tentatively got things booked for the mid-late May drive back. A couple of PCA guys may drive out to meet me and drive back.
Congrats to you too! A group run would have been fun but I needed to drive it back asap to get my instant gratification! I took Hwy 1 and there was no snow and no precipitation along the route so I was good. By May, you will have a lot less to worry about.

Congratulations, David!
The ride-height looks perfectly dialed in, & she shines beautifully.

Glad to hear Fabian took care of you

Drive safe, have fun, & welcome to the club!

Well done David, good looking car and colour, not many Guards Red 993s in Aus, mines an Arena Red 2S
not much choice here when you buy second hand.

You're on a new car/new Porsche "high" so you're happy despite a ticket. I'm pissed because a friend and I got unfairly nabbed yesterday here in California by a cop who just wanted to give us a hard time

Too bad but don't expect any sympathy when you own a Porsche. It goes with the territory unfortunately.

What had Fabian done to the car? Enjoy the 993 David, it's a great car.
Thank you. Notable upgrades include lowered Bistein suspension, Fabspeed exhaust, Fabspeed chip, tinted windows and an awesome Kenwood sound system.

Congrats! It is nice to have another 993 in the PNW, well, for Canada I suppose it's the PSW. Great group of 993 owners in the Vancouver area. Now +1.
