Default On the road...again :)

Well, MISTY may have seen the last of Cape Cod We're sending it down to our place in Naples and may keep it down there since we're probably going to be FL residents.

That presents a problem tho..since we'll be on the Cape in the summer and we don't want to drive/ship the car back and forth 2X a year. we've got to find some kind of "inexpensive" Porsche to drive on the Cape in the summer. Has to be a Tip (wife thing). Anyone got any ideas?

why not buy a boxster from carmax. they are pretty reasonably priced and they will already be checked out for any defects.

Don: Thanks for posting the pics of the Intercity carrier. I used Intercity when I bought a 356B from Atlanta and a Ferrari Dino from Ft. Lauderdale, but wasn't there when the cars were delivered to my mechanic. It was nice to see what they might have been transported in.

I'd be happy to teach your wife to drive stick as I've done with a lot of friends' spouses. You just have to make it out to East Hampton.

No, you wouldn't Speed. I finally got her settled with our Speedster (5spd), but then I got a 993 6spd and it wasn't pretty

The TipS isn't bad for what we use it for, and there's always a Turbo Tip if it gets too sluggish!

Default New house guest...

My house guest made arrival this morning.




A sight to see... The Lexus got the boot and the GT3 has the company of another thoroughbred from Zuffenhausen.


The wife says... "What do you mean we don't get to keep it? I want it!" Perhaps this was not such a good idea...


See you next week Don!
