My pleasure with Darrell.....your car truly is going to a good home. If he treats it bad I'll do some squatters rights and take it

My deal is unfortunate but I'm working though it. Should be back on the road in 3 weeks. It's only money I'll give props to the helpful hand.

A sad day ferd. Glad to hear the car is going to a good home, but it still must have been hard to see her go.

Waiting for the transport truck to arrive next week. Feel all giddy like a little girl on Christmas Eve.
Just to be clear - yes, I might now swing both ways - but that IS limited to air-cooled vs water-cooled, and nothing else. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
So, what is this stuff called anti-freeze, anyway?
The black 964 went to a (very excited) new home today. So there is an empty stall ready for Ferd's car.

Hey Ferd, congrats on the quick sale, it is a beautiful car and bittersweet I'm sure. All the best with the 86!

The car is "home" now. I have driven it a grand total of 3 miles. Beautiful car, wonderful sound, previously owned by an obvious fanatic. Can't wait to dive head first into it. My wife even likes it. My neighbor needs a drool bucket.

So nice to hear how much you like your new Porsche, welcome to the water cooled side. Ferd was a true enthusiast as no doubt, you are too. Nice to have a wife who shares your interests, and that your neighbor approves.

Darrell, glad you like the car - you really did get a gem that was well cared for. I still miss seeing on our backroad drives together.
