new boy in town

hello to everyone here. I have been on this site for so long but only now have I joined. I hope you will take me onboard as a member, although I am thousands of miles away in Blighty!
I own a GP white 1985 Carrera 3.2,tricked up and dropped with polished Fuchs all round, which I know will offend GB Porsche club members - but who are they anyway!

What I love about the American owners is they all do the 'no man's land' treatment to their rides - so call me a copycat, but it's cos I believe in making your car different, individual, without sending it straight down the 'carlos fandango' road.

I will put some pictures up, and hope you all like it, but I do know 'you can't please all the people all of the time'

Thank you

Welcome, fellow foreigner!

No worries, if the yanks have accepted me, they will take in anyone!

Great to see yet another ROW member and with the best car of all - a GPW 85 3.2 (OK, slightly biased..).

Welcome!!

That's the thing about we Yanks. We love everybody cause we are everybody..........except maybe the French.

Naaaaah even the French.

My last name is Delaplane I've gotta be tolerant. Right?

Welcome! I love the international flavor on the board.

Makes me feel downright Debonair..........damn the French again.

Welcome aboard!

I'm surprised that no one have asked to post pictures yet. Usually it would be in the first reply. :-)

Please post some photos. Thanks.

Welcome,

and pictures would be great. I have a lagoon green coupe, and am considering polishing my fuchs, so I would love to see yours. You know they won't answer any questions till they see your car

Cheers,
Emerald
