    Thumbs up Let me take a minute....

    On the way to Dana Point last Saturday....

    Why the pic of my odometer registering 1940 miles?

    Well, calculating the 5.2% error since started running 225x50's in the rear of the car years ago... + 0001940 is what I needed to = my 200,000 mile turnover....

    Counting about 18 months of total time in the garage for restoration in 1990, and rebuild in 2004...
    That's averaging well over 6000 WONDERFUL road and track miles every year for the last 19 1/2 years.....

    Thanks to Porsche, this club, and this community…….

    Drive your cars.......

    .... the adventures have just begun

    Cheers and thanks

    I have no problem with the theory that all men are created equal.
    But after that moment you are on your own and nobody owes you a damn thing.

    200k?

    Nicest looking 200,000 mile car I have seen. Nice that you celebrate it too; I am in denial personally which is why we celebrate anniversaries of my 39th birthday.

    Good luck and all the best.
