That is great news Jamie. Congratulations
Good luck with the family and the SC and I agree with Sladey as my daughter was 10 before I replaced the 911 with something else as our long distance transport.

A great finishing line to a fantastic 'story' - many congratulations.

Some restoration threads can become very 'matter of fact' but your posts always guaranteed a bunch of laughs - some of the funniest Porsche-related (or indeed any car-related) words I've ever read ... :lol:


Thanks.

Fitting end to a great thread.
12 years is about the limit depending on how foldable the little tyke will be....

I've loved reading every bit of this Jamie and then seeing your final image (for now), made me smile more than the rest of the thread. A brilliant start to the rest of your journey ;-)

Congratulations, that's fantastic news :) .

Jamie, the quality of your writing throughout your 912 adventure has been utterly captivating. Surely the spirit of DDK distilled and refined into one rather bonkers build thread, with a final result that is just wonderful.

I'm sure your 912 will remain as an important member of your new family for many years to come :cheers: .
