I have always depended on the kindness
 
of strangers.

But, why be a stranger - SmileWavy

I just bought a 'new to me' '87 911 Targa. I have owned a '74 914 2.0 and a '78 911SC, but a while ago, along with many other varied and often 'weird' vehicles.

I am sure I will have dozens of questions - and I try to use the search function - but sometimes they just get overwhelming.

So, here is the the new addition to the family...

Congrats on the 911; you've come to the best place for a Porsche owner...I'd recommend getting Wayne's 101 Project's Book if you don't have it already ;)

Foxpaws,
Welcome to The Forum SmileWavy
You will find a lot of help here.

911s need exercise.
Come on a little ‘tour’ Sunday with us.
West Denver to the Broadmor for brunch – by the back roads.

BTW, there is a RMR-PCA DE at HPR this weekend.
Fun to watch & meet Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday.
You do not have to register or pay anything.

Best,

Fox,

I see you are in Colorado... Denver area?

Check out the Porsche Breakfast Club... no rules, no dues. Meet once a month (at least).

porschebreakfastclub : Porsche Breakfast Club

Schuey - 101 Projects - wow - I was hoping for 1 or 2 maybe - smile...

Grady - the Broadmoor sounds like fun - but I have missed the cut-off date of 9/9 :( maybe next time. I plan on getting out to HPR - I have some friends (Dan Goodman and Dave Jobusch-part of SCR Performance who I can get to help me out), but, it might be next year - I was there last year and had a blast in a Spec3.

Tom, signed up for the Breakfast Club (this wouldn't involve Molly Ringwald or Anthony Micheal Hall would it?). Sounds like fun too, I am rather leery of 'rules' too... ;)

Part of the reason I bought the Porsche was because I sort of miss the 'camaraderie' of an active car group. I had tons of fun with other Porsche owners years ago when I had the other cars. The Caddy (the little 911s garage mate) is a great car - but really doesn't have much of an owners club here in Colorado.

Nice Targa!!

Post in your profile where you are, it will help when you are looking for assistance.

Welcome, and PP has a lot of people willing to help.

Welcome. Nice car. 1987 is a great year. :D
Hopefully you won't need a drip pan like the one under the Caddy.

foxpaws 09-16-2010 07:28 PM

Hugh - got it... thanks!

Por_sha 911 - actually the 911 does have a vinyl piece under it too - I don't take chances... The Caddy doesn't need it - nor does the Porsche, neither leak, but I am a play-it-safe sort of person.

Oh - best person saying Por_sha... Patrick Stewart... sort of wet dream good...
