just so no one misinterprets this down the road, the following are responses from 911-AL to me before the 'nicer house' comment was even made. many of my posts were not even directed at him and he 'quoted' me and replied anyway.

this was my very first interaction with Al. clearly, i'm asking the current member why he is selling after buying it not that long ago. reasonable question that gets asked over and over again on this board.

This car and the minerva blue 996TT that was featured in excellence are going to be all time great 996 Turbos.

I notice you don't own a 996 and therefore are maybe just a nosy hater?

Al

- honestly not even sure what a 'nosy hater' is.

i wish TX were smaller, so that another city in TX isn't necessarily a day's drive. damn state is just too big!! i really would love to see this car firsthand. i'm a sucker for one-off colors and Ruf components.


Is that too much for you? Can't afford it? You're obviously not serious otherwise you would have bought it already, right? Troll away dude, troll away.

Mike,

Let me know if he wants to buy it. If so, I'll outbid him by $500.

how about a bigger house in a nicer neighborhood.

oh, and for anyone who is interested in seeing how i was trying to 'negotiate... prior to building a relationship' - whatever that means - here is my entire PM to Al about his white tt:

the car looks mainly/completely stock - have there been any mods done at all on the car?
how extensive are the records that you have? you mentioned something about being available on request, i think. i'd just like to know how complete they are first.
free of accidents, paint work?
any dings, scratches, blems worth mentioning that are hard to see in the pics?
do you have a gallery of pics? would love to see more detail on condition.
it's funny, i was just in chicago, but i don't think you had the car listed then. too bad.
i'll wait on additional questions until later.
thanks very much for your time.

Hello Rich,

so, as Al has stated, it's all good... we have to all laugh...

just don't think for a minute my post about buying a nicer house was unprovoked. it's funny to me also that someone mentioned that Al has 'been a long-time respected member of both boards' and he has, since 2010. funny thing is, i've been a member of RL since 2008 and never have i had an altercation like this.

you guys who have already 'cheered on' Al in this thread can think what you want - knowing zero about me and this situation. i just don't want this to be misinterpreted moving forward.

back to the cars...
