Both.
In fact, I'd own a 911 if it wasn't for this damn forum. A couple years ago I was about to buy a 75 911S. Came across
this PPI guide about 4 hours before I went to look at it. Good thing, otherwise it'd be in my garage (on stands). Instead, I went out and bought a sailboat that was probably a worse investment than the Porsche would've been.
I stuck around to lurk in the technical forums and read up on 911's as I saved. I've looked at a couple cars since, but they're mostly either crap, or overpriced up here. An SC you'd pay 12k for in the states goes for 16-18k up here. That's if you can find one that isn't a rustbucket. I'll probably end up buying across the border.
Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how Wayne does on the VW side of the fence. There was obviously a significant gap in the market he was able to fill with both Porsche parts & technical info. There are already quite a few good VW forums & parts sources, but Wayne's business acumen & integrity could put him at the head of the pack. I know I'll support him.
