I'm out
Just wanted to say "Thanks!" to everyone for years of fun and information. This is truly a "One of a kind" forum. I have yet to see it's equal. I sold my 92 C2 yesterday to a really great guy. I couldn't have wished for a better person to pass the torch to. I'm on to different adventures, but probably no more fast cars for a while. I said in my ad, "I had the best. There's no place to go from here." By best I refer to the Porsche marque of course. They are all great cars in their own right. I also like the people that drive them.
 Cheers guys! It's been great!

Good luck w/ new hobbies. It's a shame to see folks leave the fold but we look forward to new blood as well.
Any guesses on what you'll do to avoid having disposable income in the future? Bikes, rc planes, cowboy action shooting, scooters?

I took a 25 year break between my 356 phase and my now reborn 911 fixation

Man I hate to see some of the old guys go. On the other hand some day I might sell both of mine but only to upgrade to a 996 or 997 Turbo. You know heat, air, 21st century stuff.

You don't have to own a 911 to hang around and contribute to this forum. Hope we see you back!

Back in New England!

There are several people who have sold or some how lost their 911 that still contribute to the forum. I'm sure there are several here that contribute or at least read the articles that do not even own a Porsche.
No need to stay away from the forum. If you want to, I'm sure that you can help many in the future with questions that they have. Look forward to reading some of your future posts, Matt
