Another Newbie Porsche enthusiat

Getting aquainted with my new toy. This forum seems invaluable for educating me on all the subtelties of this great car.
Received my baby March 01,2006. We're just getting aquainted
( much to the chagrin of my girlfriend - another woman in her life now).
Nice to see many Canadian friends!
This baby came from California........all of 9700 miles on the odometer......that'll change soon!

GREAT - welcome!

Pristine Porsche, on your license plate holder has a good reputation, from what I've heard.

Hmmm......more details.
Car belonged to an older gentleman ( one owner), whose wife told him"either drive it or sell it", so, here she be in The Great White North.
I'll keep it stock for a bit, until I review all these threads
( I think I'm on 45 out of 80 something!) and decide if I want to scare the S*%# out of myself any faster!
Wouldn't mind meeting fellow Hosers in the area some time.

Adriano,
Congrats on the new turbo. Under 10,000 miles? Unbelievable! My question: any problems importing this into Canada? What are the rules about this? There are so many good deals from the US as they have about 60 times more Porsches than we do. The wide body is (in the words of Fat Bastard) "dead sexy"... enjoy!

Congrats! God...that car is beautiful!! I have got to say that Porsche has never matched the beauty of the 930 with any of it's follow-on turbos. Not even the 993 TT is as gorgeous, in my opinion, as a black 930.
