Steve, it looks better in person!
Hi Ryojo. Apparently the car went to Calgary. It is a nice car; a sleeper with the stock bumpers. The "RUF" A8 seats are awesome. Most Rs I've seen have the GT3 seats.
Thanx Steve, your old roock mufflers (thanx again) still sound great (with kevin's sport cats!).
The Arena red 993tt ruf conversion that has been posted about, I took a look at when it was at weissach for a fellow rennlister 993 Guy. Looked like a fine example, wonder if he ended up buying it?

There is actually a black one in Vancouver that belong to a friend of mine. It has black Kinesis 18" mesh wheels, Ruf R Turbo conversion done at Weissach. He regularly track his car and is running on some sticky Cup tires.

The Arena red TT is back in Vancouver now... bought it last month privately (heard about the car through my friend/Porsche mechanic). Weissach sold it to the last owner a year ago and he brought it back to Vancouver where he kept it in storage...apparently he never told his wife he bought the car so he didn't really get to drive it much...lol.

Kevin,
Your Guards Red is STUNNING. I'm embarrassed to park shabby old Rufus anywhere near your car. Arena Red DOES photograph better than Guards, but no... Guards is beautiful in person.

Hi Kevin
Driving season is just around the corner! Had my car out this morning to drive to the gym. I was at the new members meeting at MCL on Weds, the first Bob's breakfast run is on April 9th that I'll plan on going to. Looking forward to some track time. Hope to see you at some events. Did you get something else/new?

I heard that Weissach had the Ruf techs come over and build 3 Turbo R's back when they were still a Ruf dealer (?) ... The other 2 were a black one and a white one... Wondering if any Rennlisters know what became of those ones?

What a small world! I will officially introduce you to Ryojo next time. Ryojo and I went to Med school together.
Congrats on your GT3. You definitely need to come out to track with us this year.
Come to our first BBC ride in April. You will see at least 50 Porsches. I will bring the RS if weather is nice.
@Ryojo,
I know Kevin and his family very well!
