Thinking of buying this... - Page 14

Hey Lisa you don't need any water to pose next to a P car in a bikini. So now we are expecting a bikini pic from you as well.\

Brillo,

I'd like to tell you honestly what you can do with that idea - but Z-man will ban me for life!

Hell - I doubt my Mike would be too impressed - and I think my bikinis are buried somewhere anyway!

Jeez - you guys must be gettin' desperate for some skin...I got 3 kids, am 41, work long and hard days (with P-cars so that's OK!).

Stats will have to suffice - stand 5'6" and weigh in at about 128lbs last time I bothered to check

. I eat like a horse, drink like a fish on the weekends and couldn't give a flying f... these days if my current weight is a couple lbs over what I'm best at! I look OK in bikinis I s'pose - but I'm happier mooching around the workshop in cut off hipsters and a tee to be honest!

Best to go check out that babes and Porsches thread - I look and feel better covered in a different "brand" of oil to those gals

Jim!

I count you as an ally - don't you dare support the bikini thing! Shame on you buster - you know I run deeper than that...

Just as long as they don't look like this:

Thank god this has been moved to OT! Jeez - he's wearing a shade of one of my favorite colours too...

Sorry Katie - this is really way off now!

But Jasper - please; be my guest - go first!!!

Okay, okay- I guess if one of us really has to go first for Katie and Lisa to post bikini pics, here's one of me at my finest...

Enjoy!

Paul.

Wayne, you should get down to O.C. The PCA technical chairman, Lee Rice, has a 1968 911 with a 3.3 turbo engine, and a G50 transmission. His article in the region newsletter says he's putting a Ruf engine in it now.

As there is now way I could get further off topic in this thread, I have to add that a 41 year old in cutoffs and a t-shirt working on a p-car is likely way hotter than a lot of the plastic chicks in the other thread.

And Paul - thanks for that. I was just checking in before going to sleep. So much for that. Another six months sleeping with the lights on...

porsche911girl,
Passion is why we have these cars. Many may try to apply logic but they are only fooling themselves. We buy these cars because we fall in love with them and trust me my dear, there is no logic in love.

When you first spied that car you felt something inside. You may have had that feeling before over something (or someone) and no word can discribe it and only a few songs or paintings ever come close but they still miss the mark. The car brings you someplace. And you haven't even driven it yet.

Like any choice we make, we second guess our selves. Did we make the right choice? Will I regret it? Why did I do it?

Sometimes it is good to be cautious. But not when you are young. Now is the time for you to explore and try and test. Would buying 'Augy' have been a mistake? Would it have been a money pit? Rust cancer victim? Maybe, but so what.

Remember, these cars are not logical, they are passion. And passion has no need for logic or reason.

Next time you get that feeling over a car. Go for it. Would it be a bad choice? Maybe but think of all the fun you will have learning and growing from a mistake and maybe all the more fun you will have if it wasn't.

lisa_spyder · 02-21-2007, 11:20 PM

Trap -

to burst your bubble a little; I "mooch" around the workshop and occasionally get down and dirty these days (more on the horizon this year at some race meetings though)...Mike does the work while I "mooch"

. Seriously; I handle the office and people and keep everything ticking over (read pay the bills!); it takes so much time to do that now so I can't spend the time in the workshop I'd like

Paul - to be technical; that's NOT a bikini so no dice! But very nice pic of "you" in any case

.

Katie - where are you? We've hijacked your thread...

lisa_spyder · 02-21-2007, 11:27 PM

LubeMaster,

I hear you and I agree in principle (you sound like my Dad when I was younger - bless him!).

But this one is to big a bite to chew. This one may just be the one that breaks Katie's spirit and stops her from doing anything compulsive again.

I'd love to see Katie get the right project car - something she can handle. This car is like "lust" not "love"...passion passes and then there's nothing

.

Sounds like a good way to grow. Gotta skin some knees before we can learn to ride a bike...

I hope to Gawd U passed on that Purple People eating piece of cr@p that is being pawned off as a Porsche. If your young and a devotee of the LONG HOOOODS and have a good budget than buy the buest example yu can find and afford...even if it is a lowly 911T.

Here is a car I have been after for about 2 years...this car has been sitting in the desert for about 20 years...Consider that EVERY BIT of Plastic, Rubber or Vinyl is BAKED in this car and would need replacing. Even the door panels are warped and pulling away from the doors. I estimate $40,000 to $50,000 to restore this car, it would need a GROUND UP...it just has sat for so long. However in my opinion it probably would be better for U to buy this car as it is complete and U would have something worth while at the end of the day, than that Purple thing. But this car would not be for the faint of heart...only the most experienced Porsche restorer should even consider the above car.
