Default Introduction

Well, I am like a kid the day before my 5th birthday expecting my first bike -- can't sleep, can't concentrate at work...well you all know what I am going through. While I have owned a Porsche before (968) and absolutely loved it, I have ALWAYS wanted a 911 and I am in the final stages...found the car, '09 997.2 C4S cab, made the offer and it was accepted, now we are going through the PPI. On Friday, with luck and dumb fortune, I should be one of you...an insatiable 911 owner.

I am happy to meet you all and looking forward to the great advice this forum is known for. I have already been lucky enough to get advice on how and where to have the PPI completed. I don't know how to attach pics but once she is officially mine, I will do so.

So excited! I can barely wait.

Best,

John

Wooohoooo!!! I know that feeling. The nice thing with the cars in the feeling doesn't fade off to nothing after a while. There may be some decline, but I still get stoked about it most every time I drive.

Best wishes for everything going smoothly. Sounds like a wonderful choice of model. Pictures by end of day Saturday I hope! We'll be looking. Photos are pretty straightforward, just use the "Go Advanced" button and use the attach photos icon at the top.

Congrats in advance. I still have smiles from ear to ear every time I drive my mistress. My car (C2) might not be the fastest but it gives me so much driving excitement, that's all that matters to me.

John,

Welcome to Rennlist and congrats on your pending 911.

BTW, you need to post pics of your within 5 days of getting her. If you don't we won't help you or give you any advice!

Welcome to the club. My only regret is that I did not do it sooner.
