Starting to jones again.

I haven't been on here for a couple of years since I sold my Targa. (still regret it)

I pop in to lurk and drool over the cars every once in a while, but this is the first I have logged on in a long while.

In part, I sold the last one to finance some stuff for my shop. Since then I have cranked up my production to where I have about 40 instruments going at any time. And had a baby, so I've been busy.

But I'm getting back to focus, and man, I'll tell you, once you have the bug, it never goes away.

Well at least I have a mission again.

Time to go build some more guitars and get back into a 911.

Glad every one is still idling along.

I love Targas, however I'm in northern California now, where unlike LA we get a rainy season.

An SC coupe might be in order, and would make the occasional trip down to LA a bit more pleasurable.

I'm open though. A leak free, wind noise free Targa would be cool

I wasn't aware they ever made one.

I think they called it a coupe.

I didn't last a month from selling my Targa before I was test driving another one. Once it's in you, there's no going back - or going coupe.

Not idling, it prefers to be at +4K!!

Time to get back in the fray, RFR. Plenty still to choose from!

You're lucky if it took you 22 years to get into your second Porsche. Some of us waited 30 years to get into our first.

Buy the Targa you want and send your "spare" top out for a rebuild instead of selling it. Properly fitted they won't leak. We call it a sunny season where I live.

Nice to hear you're thinking of coming back.
Congrats on the family and business.

I had a nice 3.5 year gap in between. Missed it often, especially when I saw them on the road.
