I just wanted to say HELLO! to all Pelican 928 members, though I've been an actual Pelican member for awhile now, I've always used Rennlist (dirty word, sorry!) as my main outlet. Well, I just got banned from Rennlist..........permanently, so I'll be here from now on, if that's okay?
Now, for the reason I was banned from Rennlist, by no other than RandyV, moderator maximus himself (it's his actual signature), was really not for my posting for sale of some 3-4 exceptionally low mileage 5 speed S4's, GT's and GTS's I sell each year, but more importantly, for the posting on great deals I come across on 928's that I have absolutely NO interest in, while searching for my low mileage cars I've described above. I always thought passing along great deals I find along the way to fellow members would have been a good thing, but not on Rennlist!
For verification of my last, and final thread, please refer to the Rennlist 928 forum and my post "'for sale, '87 5 speed S4, 50,000 miles, 15K, no affiliation, clean Carfax". That was my banning thread. Take some time to read thru it to see the hate and anger of some of their members towards me. This thread was placed merely out of the kindness of my heart, and I have access to a monthly Carfax, so I was even going to include that. I was called names, ridiculed, etc. over this. I personally, regardless of being banned from there, don't want any part of a site that doesn't appreciate the passing along of great deals I find, waaaaay before most, because I'm always looking for these cars anyway.
Now, the reasoning RandyV uses for my banning, and that I was given a special Rennlist rule list, is that I once asked for a "finders fee appreciated", once, nearly two years ago, that he, nor the other members will ever seem to forget. Now, I'll admit that was extremely tacky and self-serving, but I only did it once, and never again. But after that, is when I was given my own set of special Rennlist rules to follow that no other members had too, including the posting of even thrird party great deals of which I had absolutely no affiliation. The other moderator and I spoke, and I thought the third party issue was cleared up, but apparentely not.
So yes, I LOVE 928's and always have for nearly 15 years now. I've always tried to makie that point on Rennlist that just because I buy and sell 928's (occasionally), that it didn't make me any less of an enthusiast, but they never seemed to understand that, or make the destinction between the two. My interest in 928's is dedicated to the finding of great deals, posting unique ALL LEATHER GT's and GTS's from Euro models etc. and nothing technical. I'm not a technical person, nor shall I ever be. But that doesn't make me any less of an enthusiast.
I really like posting great deals I come across too..........of which I have absolutely no affiliation! I find them all the time, but never had an outlet to post them out of simple courtesy. I would just like to post them, provide a free Carfax, and let the viewer take it from there. If I'm selling one of my own, you'll know, because I'll post it in the classifieds and then tell you it's mine!
My question is, am I welcome here on this forum? Because I'd really like to be! Keep in mind that I truly only sell 5-6 928's a year, at best! The rest of the time, I simply like to post great deals I come across for nothing. Some on Rennlist were convinced I was nothing more than a used car salesman with absolutely no enthusiasm whatsoever towards the 928. But in fact, I've been obsessed with the 928 for years.......any money made off getting to drive a unique and different model every 3 months is just icing.
I promise, you will NEVER see me post a car that is MINE for sale on this forum without informing you that inded it is. Only great deals on those of which I have no interest.

P.S. I see "danglerb" is a member of this forum. He was a Rennlister convinced that I was nothing more than a used car salesman, either. I truly hope he and I can put our differences behind us now. However, I think "cobalt" will have a kind word or two of backing for me, though..........
