Hey Nick - I don't live in STL now (went to Rolla) but have seen the 90 928 S4 on ebay that is at Daniel Schmitt - looks to be in good condition with low miles. Are you familiar at all with this dealer or their reputation? I have many friends in STL and am considering a visit to see the car (I'm in Cincinnati now). Thanks

I may be bringing an old thread back, but I too would like to meet some P-car owners in St. Louis. Maybe we could have a car meet this spring?

I'm up in Alton Illinois...and have an 86.5 Black/Black 928S. Jeff Jackson. PM me over on the 928 board when you plan your get together. Be happy to meet with some other local Porsche owners and enthusiasts.

Hey Nick,
Call Jon Rhodes @ 314.968.4100 for a good, knowledgeable mechanic. Tom, who works for him, spent some time with Kelley-Moss Racing, knows 944s really well and how to trick them out if that's your bag.
Stay away from GLB Motorworks (dishonest thievery), and German Automotive Specialties (they will break more than they fix). If you are new to St. Louis, don't despair-not everyone is rude. Even in STL PCA, you'll find a few reasonable folks. Don't be discouraged...

Hey guys you know I posted that post 1/16/04 and it is great to finally hear from you guys.Nick I think I will call Jon and talk to him. I need a few things done and I would like some one that I can trust.I have had work done by both places that you talked about.Since I posted that post I have been to a couple FUNFEST's, joined THE K.C.W.C. from Kansas city and meet some great people and know belong to the STL PCA and go to the quenchers once a month and you are right about the folks!!Jaboc3 that sounds like a great idea we are always looking for things to do in the spring, summer & fall let me know. Tim I will have to take a look at your site. We will be looking for new stuff to do this year and I look forward to meeting every one Once again nice to hear from you Thanks Nick G.

So, who is the best mechanic for a 911 c4 in St. Louis? I have used GLB and they seemed to be a bit expensive. I am new to Porsches and still learning who is good and who is not.
Also, about having a meet this spring, if anyone has an idea where a good place for this would be, just throw out a suggestion.

NICK G.

Jaboc,I will talk to some of the guys in the PCA and see what I can find out. I think a lot of people us REID VAN on Manchester in Rock Hill. You can look him up on the net. Nick G.

Reid Vann and Parktown Imports have worked on all my Porsches and Audis. Paarktown while under warranty and RV after that.

When I first moved here I tried Parktown for my 944 and was totally dissatisfied. I've used Reid Vann since then for several different porsches (356, 944 and 993) and have been happy.

jaboc03

I guess I will try them out next time I need something done to my car. Thanks for the replys.

bluecab

don't use Autos of Europe in Manchester. See my thread in 993 forum; car still not fixed. Ithink I will be using Reid Vann

WOW!!! I know that this is kind of an old post, But the part about rude, Man! Well, Honestly I thought the same thing when I came to this region, but after getting out on some drives, I know that there are soome great people in the PCA.

Phat Cab and I get to hang out often as well as a few other car nuts, Unofficially called "The BreakFAST Crew" we don't care what you drive, as long as you are an enthusiast.

Also March 31-April 2 there will be a DE at Gateway in Madison Il, come by and say hello, in fact there is a show and shine on Sat. from 1-4, there is a white C4 widebody cab that may just steal the show.

I plan to have my 928 with me.
Jeff in Alton, I am from Alton (Born and Raised) I live in St. Louis, come on out and introduce yourself.
There is also a Fireman in Alton with a Yellow 911SC, he likes to hang out as well.

Come on out I will personally introduce you all to the rest of the fellas. Not the rude ones though.

Hope to see some of you this summer.
I will now post more to this section, now that I have a beloved 928 again.
