An Introduction . . . and A Request

[pgxif]

Great story Rick, congratulations.

There was a really good thread (I tried to find, unsuccessfully at this point) about a restoration of a Green Metallic 2.4S done in England, a great story and set of photos. I've attached 2 of those photos from that story here to wet your appetite ! - (I'm sure the owner won't mind ... and he does still post on the ddk forum in the UK

Hi, Paul . . .

Thanks for the tip on article; I'll have a look for it. And I'll check on ddk, too.

Nick Moss did the restoration on that beautiful car a few years back. Here is the page from his site. There is also a nice article linked there from GT Purely Porsche.

Try to check out this same colour car recently restored here in Denmark:http://www.harvejlarsen.dk/index.htm
He also has a thread on DDK. Just click your way through the "Porsche 911"

Hey, Brian and Paul . . . .

Okay, well now I'm REALLY feeling myself being pulled towards what Propeller-heads refer to as 'The Dark Side.'

There's something about a Porsche. Where a 356 is kinda cute and un-assuming, a 911 seems slick and smart. I swear, I've always wanted to hate 911s --- all that rear-engined, air-cooled, un-galvanized, tail-swinging idiosynchrinicity, all that ---- money.

But I can't. These cars are just so . . . involving. The myriad odd little details, the way they're built and finished, the sounds they make. And then there's they way they look. And drive. Hhhhhh.

I tell myself that the good thing about owning a Rat is that I can use it without guilt. The bad thing is that, since its a Porsche . . . I'll always be thinking about what the thing should be.

Thanks for the article. (I think.)
