Cindyduck what kind of name is that?

Guys, and gals
Let me clear something up, My name is not Cindy. My family and I are advid waterfowl hunters, we live 10 minutes from Saginaw Bay what else could we do for fun ( fish for walleye ).
My brown dogs name is Cindy and she loves to duck hunt as much as I do. When we signed up on E-bay my wife came up with the name b/c she knew it was something I would not forget.
I have been a Porsche owner for less than a year. I bought a 79 SC in need of repair, so i bought service manuals( ouch ). then I found a couple good deals on parts cars to help offset the price of the repairs. Now that I'm on Pelican I'm hooked and these little cars have become a kind of obsession. I just enjoy working on them. Seems in 79 the technoligy in my SC putsthe US manufactures about 10 years behind.
Anyway I'm glad to be here and I appreciate all the help you have given me.

Well, let me be the first to welcome you to the BBS, Cindy....uh...I mean Mike!

If you're into these little p-cars, you've certainly come to the right place. And as far as p-car knowledge goes, you'd be hard pressed to find a more knowing, and GIVING bunch of people, anywhere.

Do we need a thread where everyone explains their forum names?

Mine's an old nickname. And I'm not a girl either

More advanced?

In '79 US manufactured cars had galvanized bodies. High end cars had micorprocessor controlled fuel injection (K-Jetronic is hydro-mechanical).
Do you really think that the ventilation system on our 911's is 10 years ahead of the 1979 state of the art? (I could make slushy drinks with the A/C of my '76 Corvette).

"Cindyduck" is better than "IROC". I chose mine because my car is sort of an SC-flared version of an IROC car. Duh. Very original.

Anyway, welcome to the board!!

trader220,
Better update your signature line since your Targa has been sold!

Excellent. Another Michigan Pelican! We'd be wondering if your name was 'Sin'dyDuck.

Welcome aboard.

Well, it's better than mine, but I didn't feel like making mine anything cutesy or criptic at the time. Guess I still don't.

I must admit, the first thread that I saw started by "cindyduck" had me curious. I clicked just to see if there was an explanation of the name. I assumed Cindy had a duck tail on her car. hahah

I think Mike just gets a kick out of the weird propositions that he's bound to get with that sort of name.

Welcome Mike.

Welcome aboard, Cindyduck.
I have an office in Bay City as do a couple of other pelicans here.
Is your car on the road yet? If you ever need assistance with it, just holler. I would be glad to help out.
I know of a couple of nice euro repair shops in our area, too.
