So I bought myself a 930...
 

I ran across this thing quite by accident on Christmas Eve. I mulled it over and slept on it, weighed the options and thought about whether something like this even has a place in my life. After careful consideration, I decided to take the plunge.

The next morning, being Christmas, there was nothing I could really do about it, so I waited patiently. The next morning I braved Boxing Day traffic and avoided the blue hair that forgot what signal lights are and just about side swiped me.

In due time, and some vehicular misadventures later, I saw it in the flesh. She was gorgeous! And the price was right! What's a Porsche nut to do? So I bought the damn thing. Yeah, that's right. You only live once, right?


Here she is...

OK, yeah, she's made of plastic and by LEGO, not Porsche.

I guess they just released this kit at the end of summer, and I actually did run across it on Christmas Eve. I checked online and they had stock in the local store. I figured I could handle the Boxing Day crazies and get to the mall at opening. It actually wasn't that bad in there at 08:00 and I managed to escape well before nine with my new 930 and a Cinnabon.

Afterward I was having flash backs to when I was ten years old sitting on the living room floor assembling my new treasure. So it's a 930 AND a time machine. Another Christmas miracle! ;)

I seriously think it may be too much car for you. Better find a 10 YO to help you.

You're right. Lots of teeny, tiny pieces and those complicated assembly drawings. I think they're worse than IKEA instructions. Had to have a neighbour kid supervise so I could get it built and take those photos. Not gonna let a child's toy kick my ass...

If you decide to do an engine drop on that let me know, i owe you one...

If its still running the 3LDZ...hold on at 3,500rpm

You got me good Kev. I was already angling to buy your 911!!

Thanks, Brian, I'll keep that in mind. Though your lift would be unnecessary, just your expertise and experience. ;)


Hey, Alex, good to see you're still hanging about. Hope all is going well with the new family member. I was out at Kicking Horse for opening weekend in November, but it slipped my mind to give you a call when I was there. Next time.

I really like the old VW rear window!

Yeah, it's two separate pieces and each has its own sticker with a non-black portion around the edge. A few seconds with a sharpie fixed that right up.
