evening Janet, welcome to the thread, any pics of your car?

Have fun reading the last couple of years of the thread. We talk about anything anybody wants to post. We have in the past couple of months talked about everything from recipes, cars, guitars, cigars, foot infections, music, babes, Australian outback weirdos (sorry Jeff), guns and ammo (you will find that that is a popular subject), edible undies, if you can think of a subject we have glossed over it here.

But if you just want someone to chat to after the kids have gone to bed, and can't face the FB frenzy, then this is where you can chat and not have the whole family listen in.

The only thing we have in common is the Porsche, whether you have one, or just would like to have one, all are welcome here.

Just went outside and took a couple of photos of the house in the s***. Got a fairly good cover again today, but I think it will all be gone by Sunday as it warms up.

Jeff did you have a good Australia Day? Did you manage to keep vertical for the day, or did you start to lean and go horizontal before sundown?

night all, time for bed

Good evening all.
Ahhhh....another Virginian i can harass
Welcome aboard.

Ran out of propane down in the garage tonight so now i have to tend another wood stove till they get here next week.
It'll take a lot of gas to heat the floor back up once they get here

Every Porsche deserves to be looked after, even a 944, .........only joking. Quite a few of the guys on this thread have 944s, don't you boys?

Well Pete you will live in Vermont, and its not too warm atm. Hope you don't get too cold waiting for the propane to get delivered. Our furnace blew up in the middle of the snowy winter in France a few years back and we used about 4 ton of wood in the open fireplaces in the 10 days it took to get the furnace replaced.

had to keep getting up every couple of hours to stoke the bloody things, if they had enclosed fireplaces in the house we were renting it would have been so much easier to keep the house warm. So good luck and I hope the weather warms up fa bit to help you.

Great Christmas present.

We got Marilyn as our 30th wedding anniversary for ourselves, and we will be taking her back Australia when we go home in 2015.

Is the car running? Does she have a name? I like to name all of my cars, they all have personalities.

anyway, as I said its time for bed. Night all see you later

You know what they say, just twice the fun!

Actually, the mechanical bits aren't too bad. (Though I think I could shoot the Italian enginerd who thought having 3 types of fasteners for the bodywork was a good idea.) But those electrics....Italian and electrical--almost as exciting as Lucas, because you're never quite sure if you'll get home or not.
