A Huge congrats, John!!!

BTW, I've heard about those folks on the 993 board....pretty ornery and humorless is what some say. Just thought I'd warn you

Wow, John, that's great!

And here I thought the rotors were frozen because some people actually don't know any better and choose to live where they have all that white stuff that's cold . . .

If you find another bargain like that one, let me know, that would be enough to make me join this crazy crowd!

Thanks folks!!!! Until I get the car home - I'm not sure what "upgrades" I'll do first, but I do know my Upgrade Budget is somewhat less then $16,000 (nice try "viperbob" )!!!

Now - about the "frozen rotors" - OK, if they THAT much in demand - I'll probably put them on eBay or sumthing..!!! And - they are even cross-drilled, but you may have to re-drill through all the rust in the vents... Heh!!!!

BTW: Someone with my name runs Rennlist?? Heck - I thought he did a swap meet in CA or something..?? Small world!!!

Seriously - my thanks to each and all of you.... I'll be posting pics as soon as it's "home" - maybe tomorrow, or if the rust bubbles are covered under the PCNA warranty - a little later this week.... I can't wait!!!!

WOW... that's a classic!

Is this an official endorsement by Rennlist that the 993 is the best Porsche ever built?

Congrats John! Sounds like a sweet deal, nothing to hard to fix!!

Btw, this is the first time I've heard of a 911 for a lower price than a 928..

I thought you needed to have cracked rotors to part of the HWFM racing team!

Congrats John!!!
