General Information

Vehicle Name	Tobluforu
Year	72
Make	Porsche
Model	911T
Color	Pepsi Blue
Packages	Hmmmmm.
History	I bought the car in California back in '91 when it was black. The car is named Tobluforu because I once had a blue Datsun 510 (pre-Nissan days). One of my friends remarked, "That car is too blue!" which inspired me to get a personalized plate. The name has since been passed on to the 911. Three years after I bought it, I experienced the unforgettable sound of a chain ramp breaking, which locked the motor up. With the help of a friend, I rebuilt the motor in my sister's basement using just two books and invaluable moral support and assistance from a local Porsche mechanic I often bugged. The whole process took a year but was incredibly rewarding.
