So I was hesitating to post this professional video since my 996 is only seen shortly in this profile that the Avants club did on me and the star is really my 993. However, the 996 community is the only rennlist forum I participate on so whether you like it or not, you are my peeps and I think it was edited pretty well. So here is the 2 min video...let me know what you think. https://www.avants.com/news/member-profile-christian
The producer for your video did a great job instilling the passion you have for your cars. It's wasn't overdone to make Avants look great, but complimented YOUR message with beautiful imagery and subtle music. (nods)
Awesome video! Same way I feel about my 996 and about the other people in the local PCA (both CWR and PNWR) who are so passionate about their own cars. Being part of such a great community of cars and enthusiasts is something special.
Thanks guys for all the kind words...You gave me some good laughs, particularly the "seasoned" comment....which I will rebut and say that my body may be in the 50s but mind is still 17 (excluding the occasional demetia moments). So to answer some of questions:
1) Seattle in the summer has no rain and is spectacular for about 3 months. Winter sucks....I moved here from dallas 11 years ago and I totally miss the sunshine and the lack of rain...I hate driving my cars in the rain. The only positive is no hail.
2) Avants….what can I say....I have always been a Porsche guy but when I traded in my GT3 for a Huracan, My Porsche community did not really embrace the concept. Avants started about 1 year ago and its an everything club that has events where you can either ride along with others or even swap cars...plus some amazing benefits and discounts in the seattle area. The best part is the diversity of people, cars and ages. Frankly I learn so much particularly from the younger folks who have the passion I did (I see myself in them), the love they have for their cars regardless of make and the best part is how innovating the youth that are DIY. Really can't say enough about Avants. Porsche Club tends to be old folks...and don't take this wrong, but I don't want to be around old folks, they just make me feel older. But honestly, this is the same thing I like about the 996 forum its a diverse group...I spend zero time on any other forum....you guys are awesome.
Finally here is a picture of one of my walls in my office with my original hot wheels from 50 years ago....and here is the best part, I still buy hotwheels and have them stowed away cause I don't want my wife to see me hoarding. :-)
Nice video - I miss my 79 308 Ferrari often - Not a great car for these roads around downtown Seattle but had lots of fun with it.
I would be very hesitant to have a public video of my collection showing location/etc. of my cars.
Personally I have never disclosed where I keep my few 356's - They are safe away from my home but only 1 or 2 close friends are aware of their location and only reason is my lippy mouth when I had too many Martini's.
Seattle has grown and with it comes the rise in crime and stolen cars.
All the best.
