Smile New Porsche Owner and New to this Forum

Hi All,
I am now the proud owner of an 2004 Targa. Childhood dream come true.
Car has 9700 miles on it and looks brand new! The more I drive it the more I like it.
Any advise welcome.

Welcome to the Porsche world and Rennlist! You will learn much here, but there is a gentleman named Tim who will start you off with a first piece of advice.

Way to go and Welcome....

I cant tell if I like the color combo or not

Tim, yur on.....

Newbie, when Tim "gotta911" chimes in pay special attention to the title below his name (just above the picture of his beautiful Lapis blue 996) All the above comments will make sense

Welcome "home". At least I hope it will feel like that to you after a while. It does for me. You asked for a tip and the folks are giving it - they are begging for some photos and some details (colors, "stuff", options). What you have done is said, "H! New here. Just hooked up with a stunning beauty. Any help out there?" LOL They aren't doubting you. They are crying for you to share more details about your car and pictures here are a MUST. LOL!
Tim will be along shortly.

Welcome from another fairly new '04 Targa owner.

Here, you may need to borrow one of these (of course, it will help if your Targa happens to be Seal Gray).

Photos for loan...







Good luck with dodging the flack about not posting pics.

This thread is worthless without a video.

<ahem> Tim clears his throat!

RockSS,

Welcome to Rennlist and Congrats on getting a nice looking '04 Targa. I just love the Guards Red... or is it Arctic Silver.... or maybe Black. Hell, we can't tell if it is nice looking or not because you didn't post any pics of your car.

It is usual and customary for Newbies to introduce themselves, which you have done (check) and to post pics of their car, which you have not done (black mark). So consider this next statement as your "Newbie Initiation." Come on Newbie, post the !@#$%^&* pics! Guys, I've been waiting two weeks to say that!

Seriously, Congrats and Welcome to Rennlist! As you can tell, we love pics!
