[red 2.7]

As a fellow Canadian I feel your pain. I agonized the same as you do now. I am 54 this year I bought my 77 911 last year and have never been happier about my decision. Even though I am fanatical about getting it running perfectly the way I beleive it should. I am setting up just the way I want (right or wrong.) I was into racing in my 20's and gave it up to raise a family. Now the kids are taken care of and there is more money around I am spending freely on my baby car. If there's 1 bit of advice I can give to you it would be to buy a Canadian car. I searched for a year in the US and found that they had too much milage. Don't forget a well loved sports car in Canada is stored 6 months a year and not exposed to any salt ever. If you can do it then do it. the search is half the fun. Sellers are motivated at the end of the driving season. I bought mine in Oct. I drove it for 3 grinning weeks then the snow came and I read every scrap about P cars I could find and shopped at our sponsor's all winter and installed all the new bits in spring. What a blast. My first year with the car is nearly over and it's soon time to store it again. It will be a loooong winter. Good luck.
