It is amazing how time flies & it looks like there are a few old timers coming out of the woodwork on this thread. I stumbled onto this place by accident back when I had my '67 912 and my '72 911E. I lurked for awhile & finally joined. It's been well worth it.

Joined a year before I bought my 911.
Several helpful members helped me long-distance shop - emails, phone calls, etc. Bought my 73 from North Carolina. Dtw climbed all over/under/around and took about 100 pictures of the car so I could see what was there before I drove 500 miles.

I got my 911 in Jul or Aug of 1999. For the first couple of years, I spent my time on the Rennlist email list (not the forums). I guess I came here about 2 years later in fall of '01. I spent a lot of time on the 911 Tech board. I sold the 911 in 2004, and slowly migrated to the OT side of things.

10 years in October. Got hooked on this site so my son and I could get his 87 944 on the road and keep it there. We loved the first one so much we bought our other son an 88 944.

How many of us were "Lurkers" for a few years before signing up? I was till I needed help with a problem.....Can't say enough about how helpful and patient fellow Pelicans were (and still are)!

March 2003. I did some lurking after I discovered that Porsches could be semi-affordable, then ended up purchasing a 1970 911T for a DD against the better advice of the technical forum. The knowledge I've gained on the tech forums has been invaluable, and probably saved me thousands over the years. As for OT, you bastards just waste my time.........

joined a few months after buying my first car, a '76 911. Had I lurked or joined first that probably wouldn't have been the first car...
