Fond memories. Remember the Dave Albrecht/Harry Pellow feud? The crazy misadventures of Ted Matsumura? Bruce Anderson as a regular contributor? Fun stuff.
....ahhh.....T*d, how quickly we forget...

...I think I have some of those old posts still stashed away in my archives....

I have one or two other interests but can't stand the forums related to those hobbies. All of that "Nah, Mate, ya should have talked to me first..." makes me flee pretty fast. So I'm always here. When I do go on holidays, it's a holiday from my normal life as much as possible, so no internet, no phone.

Off and on when I sold the '86, mainly because it forced me to miss having a 911 too much.

Never really left after selling the '92, but stayed in OT.

Have taken years off Rennlist, however there is good 996 info there.

Yeah I basically left RL when the car left. The one GTG I went to was a total clusterf*k that ended when a neighbor got shot (seriously!). Clark's Garage was great for 944/951/924S stuff but without owning one any more there wasn't much staying power either.

Yeah, Stan Hanks is still around... :-)

Miss all you guys, tons.

By the time I had to wind down Porschephiles (divorce ate my life) we were over 3000 subscribers, over 200 messages a day. All on a 33MHz Pentium with 4MB of memory!

I still tell Ted stories.
