Hello from Canada

Post by exc911ence »

Hello All! I just joined the forum and figured that I should take a moment to say hi.

I live in Canada's capital city, Ottawa (in Ontario) and drive a 1975 911S that I've owned on and off since 2003. I say "on and off" as I once sold it to a friend when I found myself suddenly without employment but was lucky enough to be able to buy it back when I was back on solid financial footing. I have owned a few other Porsches over the years in the forms of a 1969 912, a 1972 911T Targa and a 1987 924S. For some strange reason, my current 1975 is my favourite of them all... maybe I'm just a sucker for an underdog? Perhaps it's the 11.3:1 compression 2.7L engine that I'm addicted to! Regardless, she's the most fun on four wheels I've had so she's a keeper.

No, just a "standard" S model. :)
